I am a moderate and love to hear both sides. I love Anthony Scaramucci and turn off the podcast when Michael Steele is on. I prefer a down to earth guy with regular background and a great education and world experience " the Mooch." Always liked Katty Kay.

Love the podcast! Both are very well spoken, very well educated, both counter each other respectfully and best of all there is no yelling and screaming. Two people having a conversation about what is going on in politics. I wish more people would learn from them and conduct themselves professionally. There is a difference between knowledge and wisdom and I’m glad these two understand that when using their platform. I always leave having learned something new or at least a better understanding of what is actually happening. Thank you to the both of you!

Enjoy this show; love Anthony’s insights and takes on many of these characters in his dealings. He’s like Forrest Gump w the places and people he talks about. At times, Katty interrupts too much. Let him finish his set up and story. I do like this podcast! Thanks.

Was familiar with Katy’s work but not Anthony’s and enjoying his insights and bantering with Katy.

Love this duo for their delivery of opinions, historical context and global impact. Very smart and hugely amusing. Big fan of Mooch conservative perspective but Katty crushed with her quick comment “they sent the dog catcher.” This secured my subscription, have never paid for a podcast but feel like I must now.

This started as such a great concept. The Mooch is well connected, perspicacious and willing to take a stand. Katy is a seasoned BBC professional. Unfortunately, Katy seems to struggle to leave the BB,’s neutrality behind. Take a stand! But the biggest problem is what has become a major distraction - the flirting. It makes me uncomfortable, so I can’t imagine how their spouses and families feel. Two, really good choices to host the pod, but undone by their own ability to just stick to the analysis without flattering and flirting with each other.

The mooch would be a pooch without Katty Kay. I like Anthony, but Katty is perceptive and deft at a level that challenges Anthony to be his best. Phenomenal teamwork, keep up the great leadership Katty. Keep taking those notes Anthony you have come a long way. I have been more refreshed by your combinatorial approach to informing listeners, going high level and low level and side to side, fun and informative. Solid background info and knowledge to contemporary stories and activities, with info drive locked into fifth gear. Salute with respect to you two.

I am a republican and I find this podcast refreshing and insightful. Anthony and Katy provide insights that I have not heard elsewhere. Unfortunately my party has changed its values and lost its path. Honesty is the only Hope left. Thanks for an excellent podcast.

Hard to take this seriously when it sounds like 2 teenagers flirting!

Please when you talk about the Venezuelan men sent to El Salvador stop saying they were "deported"! They were sent to a concentration camp PRISON in a country that is not theirs and it was done to them without DUE PROCESS!

Anthony Scaramucci is unlistenable

What a surprising combination in the best way. Really wonderful coverage—I’m bummed I didn’t discover sooner because I really hate most news podcasts.

I have been listening to this for quite some time and added to my rotation, but I struggle with it. Anthony is basically a setup man for Katty Kay and I haven’t heard him really challenge her or any Democratic positions. Katty Kay seems to funnel her views through the narrow lens of feminism. Kamala was not a bad candidate; men just won’t elect a woman to the Presidency. It also feels like this is a complete Trump bashing show with Anthony being the inside baseball guy telling us what’s going on in his inner circle. I don’t buy his stories. I’ll continue to listen for now, but if I need to make room for another show this will be one of my candidates to replace. April 19 Update. I finally decided to unfollow as they really are not adding anything intellectually useful. If you are looking for a good counterpoint to Trump, NPR Politics more than covers that bill without the gossipy feel of this show.

It talk about politics and it is a very important topic because it s about Now.So I m a big big fan of them . 😀

Its one of the few podcasts right now I follow closely. I find the discussion interesting and entertaining. It feels like it really delivers a perspective and conversation that is different from what else is out there. I feel like both Katty and Anthony deliver insight from their professional spheres that is useful to hear and not what you are going to get from NYT or NPR.

Value your insights, experience, diligence and passion. When trade between countries is mutually beneficial and respectful, they are less likely to nuke each other. Antagonistic approaches to trade increase the global nuclear risk profile. This concern should be the one issue that binds both the left and the right. No one should be sleeping easy tonight. Please carry on!

Nice banter between wealthy people - Ms Kay talks too much though, interrupts, and overtalks way too much - maybe organize episodes so it’s more even.

As E. Jean Carroll’s successful defamation case against Donald Trump reflects, it is possible for a public figure to recover damages for defamation. It’s just a higher standard: a public figure must show that the statement was made with “actual malice,” which means “with knowledge that it was false or with reckless disregard for the truth." In addition, one appearance on a soapbox does not a public figure make. A public figure typically is an elected official or a person who has thrust herself into the public discourse. The point of NY Times v. Sullivan is that free speech should not by chilled by fear of retribution.

Anthony and Katy are a one-of-a-kind tag team! Can’t get enough! Anthony, I love getting to know you. Thank you so much!

Anthony, which one of the following podcasters/journalists will be the first to be hauled off to some detention center or camp and never heard from again for something they said or wrote? Rachael Maddow James Carville Keith Olbermann Tim Miller Steve Schmidt Rick Wilson Nicole Wallace George Conway Chris Hayes Jeff Goldberg That’s my question Don’t be naïve like Katie…….my money is on Wilson, with Olbermann a close second, Schmidt shows

Anthony knows more dirt about Trump than almost anyone. But NOTICE THAT ANTHONY NEVER SHARES ANYTHING PROFOUND ABOUT TRUMP. Folks, every real Wall Streeter from the 1990s has stories about what a pathetic dirtball Trump is. Anthony probably knows WHY RUSSIA OWNS TRUMP. BUT ANTHONY NEVER SPILLS THE TEA. Wall Street coward. Put out or get out Anthony.

Interesting take on contemporary affairs. Both hosts are well informed and have educated opinions. There is a pretty explicit bias against Donald Trump which clouds the objectivity of their reporting. Easy listening overall.

Was on the fence when this pod first started but I love it now. These people have great chemistry. The news is usually the stuff that other pods cover but their insight is interesting. Go Katty and Anthoy! Back on the fence. It’s 3/6/25 and they are talking about Trumps speech and they mention him talking about transgender mice. Two seconds of research would have shown the Trump is an idiot. Something is the matter. They don’t have all the info they need. Approach this pod with caution. Temper your expectations.

A bit disappointing. Came from Rest Is History looking for serious and contextualized discussions of US politics. I don’t doubt the hosts’ sincerity or intelligence, but they haven’t figured out how to inform the viewer yet. “Trump Bad” - yes, we know. And because of that obvious fact, can we please get genuinely interesting conversation about what precisely is going on?

Enjoy the behind the scenes and timely themes. Katy and Anthony bring different and complementary experiences and perspectives, which is great. The banter and Anthony’s egotistic and self-centered self-deprecation get a little old and distracting, the conversation often goes off into distracting tangents, and the love-hate fascination with Trump is a bit creepy at times.

I love “The Rest is History,” but did not even start on this loser. Anthony Scaramocci? Really? Trump stooge (who can’t even pronounce “arriviiste”? I have no reason to waste my time on a podcast thaqt is already living in the land of Donald’s delusions. If you want us to trust Goldhanger, please hire real analysts, not delusional factotums.

Informative and energetic pod on the state of US politics. Katy and Anthony have a tendency to talk over each other which is annoying. I’ll keep listening.

I appreciate your thorough understanding of foreign policy and history. But I do NOT understand how journalists tiptoe past the ACTUAL HOLD and threats that Trump/Musk have laid on republicans in Congress. I understand there are credible threats to life, family, career. Is he threatening assasination? Ruined careers? Be specific. Threats remaining secret are the toxic weapon of BULLIES. PLEASE SPEAK OUT!!!!!

Is so blatantly liberal. Anthony has bad TDS. Says ridiculous lies about Trump. Retire and find a real job. Your view sickens me and most intelligent people. Every time I hear this sad show, I try to unfollow but it keeps popping up. Anthony is so butt hurt it’s unlistenable.

And stop interrupting her. Jesus. Ramble much?

What do you think the wolves of K Street are currently up to?

This is an excellent combination of friendly banter, insight, (especially with the historical pedagogy Anthony tries to infuse) and inside the beltway, gossip

I would like Katy to stop with the condensation of Anthony. It’s not cute nor is it funny. It definitely isn’t a good look.

At a certain point, I got tired of the usual podcast fare. The two discussants present themselves well, clearly are well-educated, and are super smart. Enjoy the humor and the relationship between the podcasters.

How do you access the founding member Q&A

Maybe we don’t call those alleged “other riots” insurrections because they weren’t trying to overthrow the government?

Love this podcast. Love him, hate him, agree with him, disagree with him - either way, Mooch is never boring (I love him) and always a good listen with Katty Kay. Mooch can always be counted on to point out the incongruities between what Don Pardon will have you believe and actual reality.

Excellent podcast , insightful, fast paced , honest commentary

Balanced, thoughtful, and entertaining. Katy Kay and the Mooch flow really well together and offer insightful, yet accessible talking points for the day. I recommend this pod to those who wish to steer clear of the vile partisan hackery rampant in some of these other US political pods.

It was a podcast I listened to weekly but Since the US Election Results I cannot listen to it anymore, Katty Kay is out of touch & the Mooch was completely wrong on so many things looking back now.

There was never an insurrection, you know how I know that for a fact because none of the people arrested on January 6th were charged with insurrection and I’m so tired of hearing people call it that!! Now I’m not condoning any of their behavior by any means but how come we don’t hear anything about the other 200+ riots that happened leading up to it that injured hundreds and caused billions of dollars worth a damage!!! Why don’t you do a podcast about those?

I enjoy this show when I can access non subscriber episodes. $7 a month is a lot to pay for a podcast that has access to ad support for non subscribers. It’s frustrating to see very little new content posted that is accessible without payment.

Will you have any relevant content this year or should I just delete the follow now ?

Tony Scaramucci is a dirty, deceitful snake in the grass, and it’s fitting that the only people who were willing to give him a platform are headquartered on the other side of an ocean. Katy is mostly up to speed on us politics, if not terribly well informed or insightful.

I don’t know how long I can listen to Antony…he is really stupid and says wrong things all the time. Even the lovely Katty Kay cannot compensate for the dumb things he says.

Katie is just excellent and so charming and Anthony PLEASE!!! talk about something different than your past love with Trump!

Wait a minute, it’s bad enough that you’re running promos insinuating January 6 was something it wasn’t, but you’re also insulting listeners by making them pay to hear this nonsense? This feels like MSNBC/CNN misinformation. Let’s be clear, January 6 was not a good day. But, it was not an insurrection. And it was not a coup. Jan 6th was a riot. It was a ridiculous day no one should be proud of but let’s not pretend it was 9/11..

The edits on this podcast are giving me hiccups.

These two dimwits are funny to listen to. They both make sweeping generalizations and never follow anything up with facts. Mooch is still made at being publicly humiliated in the Trump administration. Everyone in America knows he’s a dope so he’s taken his show to England where he has yet to be found out. You Brits will figure it out soon enough. And the other one hates trump with passion just like most European liberals because he’s identified that they depend on the USA to fight their wars without paying anything. They are both funny.

Very propagandist and in many cases complete disinformation.
