    Wonderful
    Unfortunately it seems that you have four more years of material teed up for you. Thank you in advance for giving me a reason to laugh
  • Lover33whang
    Please go weekly!
    Need you guys more than just twice a month

    When I think of scouting I think of two things
    Those two things are transgender comedians and history. What else is current events other than tomorrow’s history?

    Silence on war crimes in Gaza
    Silence on Gaza and Israel has been such a let down. The greatest crimes of our generation are happening now and PIAT podcasts have barely talked about it.

    My favorite podcast
    I’ve listened for over 3 years and have yet to miss an episode, these guys are exactly what’s needed in today’s strange political world.

    Amazing Politics Online
    It's a whole theme. I love the discussion on politics from Noah, Heath, and Eli in an honest way. Most of them should run for office, but that's why we have what we have in the states. I'm not sure any of the 3 really want power. They just seem concerned with power being taken away from others. Comedy and politics is a fine line, and Alex Jones and Stephen Crowder don't fish good.

    Great show…
    My only complaint is that it doesn’t come out every week. It’s really entertaining on political issues.
  • MargaretField
    Great humor and intelligent stuff.
    Eli, Heath and Noah will make you happy. Start listening to these guys. You learn stuff and the humor is better than anything seen on Comedy Central for years.

    Misnomer
    The show philosophy promises perspective from the “distant center” but the reality is this is just another show from the radical left. Boring, unfunny, typical.
  • Guacamole_Jon
    This show is topical and funny
    Eli is my favorite
  • TodayIsTheDay2025
    Funny and scary!
    Covering political, legal, and of course religious news while still being entertaining. Amazing

    Not worth your time
    I’ve listened to this pod and was a paid subscriber for the better part of a year, but given Eli’s complicity with Andrew Torrez and his prolific alleged sexual assaults, I don’t think Eli should be given any kind of platform in this world. Listen to Tom and Cecil instead over on Cognitive Dissonance. Again, Eli was both complicit with Torrez’s alleged acts and has zero credibility. I might come back to being a paid subscriber if they were to show Eli the door, but Bosnick doesn’t deserve a moment of your listening time or brain space.

    Funny and spot on take down of the right wing
    Fast-paced, hilarious look at the absurdity of the deplorable side of modern fascism.
  • sodose
    How can you call yourself centrists?!?!
    You’re all very funny and as i agree with your politics, i fail to understand how you can call yourselves centrists in good faith. It’s just endless conservative bashing (some of which is well earned, some of which is a little unfair), and endless praise of liberals. Good podcast, but like… change the name.
  • BibliophileG
    Flawless
    The only podcast I don’t fast forward through the commercials, as the intelligence & artistry of their craft (the jokes… ya man!) continue EVEN IN ADS!!! I only want bad news from these peeps, makes my days more doable. I Love your brains, peace.
  • Widdle twiddle
    Great podcast
    Like TSA but more political. You know what you’re here for at this point. Great work guys!!!
  • Crowell iTunes
    I completely agree
    With the content. But it’s just another podcast by people who think they’re 100 times funnier than they actually are. It’s about as good as your ordinary drive-time am radio schtick.
  • Poppy Corn
    No Rat Talk
    As a georgous and quite sophysticated Rat I am very dissapointed that us Rats have never been so much as mentioned in any of their coverage. For shame you human centric snobs!
  • Kaitlyn Yang
    I love those skeptic rats
    And you should’ve voted for Hillary Clinton
  • CorruptPhoenix
    Stop reading books nerd
    Everything you ever needed to know is right here. Books? Boo! Nerd! But seriously do read and listen to these guys anyway.
  • L'homme Americain
    Never Stop
    The guys at PIAT are pretty god-damned awesome! Each week they provide a beautiful summation of everything religion ruins. Not content to be another complaining podcast, however, Noah and the team also give tips to be better humans and improve our lives by engaging in civic responsibilites and holding everyone accountable. They wrap all this up with some excellent humor so the pain of our society doesn't sting so bad. Highly recommend! Bonne chance mes amis!

    Do better.
    Your fat jokes are cheap and unfunny.

    I ❤️ The Skepticrat
    I really like the Skepticrat, it’s awesome! 😎❤️🍺🍕🏳️‍🌈
  • Jartin mcfartin
    “Skeptic” just means democrat in this podcast.
    The podcast mainly consists of making jokes about the Republican Party and public figures within. Jokes that usually involve calling the person a nazi, white supremacist, or a terrible person instead of actually addressing the person’s best arguments. For instance, instead of acknowledging that Joe Rogan was prescribed human ivermectin by his doctor, or that CNN’s own doctor admitted that CNN was unfair in the “horse dewormer” caricature, they will just make a joke about Joe taking horse dewormer and move on. Nothing else to see here. Its just Jokes you see — jokes that always seem to be bound within the acceptable parameters of the Democratic Party.
  • Exelixii
    Excellent quality you'd expect from PIAT
    My only issue with it is that it doesnt come out more often. I need more!
  • Alura_84
    Best podcast!
    Husband made me listen…. Now it’s the only quality time we get…

    No One Podcasts It Better
    My favorite podcast - informative, funny, insightful, and thought-provoking.
  • Voraz76
    Funny Sarcastic and Full of Insights.
    I'm a conservative mostly and would like to highly recommend this podcast. My opinions often run polar opposite and they make fun of conservatives but the show is always funny and entertaining. The best part is all the information and funny but rational insights in it. It's so easy and fun to listen to that I forget sometimes how much I have learned from it. Even if your not a skeptic, try it out and see how much your smiling at the end.
  • MamaMuse88
    These guys are creating the content you didn’t know you needed
    I luckily stumbled across Citation Needed a few months back and was instantly entertained by the humor and witty banter that are staples of each episode. This show was on my suggested list so I gave it a try, not knowing who the hosts or content might be, and when those familiar voices flooded my eardrums I was hooked!
  • DeaneHansen
    Amazing Show
    This show kept me (mostly) sane during the Trump administration.
  • Nick Santamore
    We are the Skepticrats

  • KimPogueJenkins

  • eshunt

  • Yetiinthewoods
    Listen to it.
    Best podcast ever. These guys have a number of well produced, well informed, and amazing content podcasts. Cant go wrong.
  • Johthohar
    Amazing!!
    Long over due. Been listening forever. I love you guys. It’s not an exaggeration to say you had a hand in keeping me alive through the worst parts of my life and I may not be where I am or alive at all without this family of podcasts. Thank you.

    I find that each time I listen to an episode I become more intelligent than I was previously. Listening has brought me fame, wealth, good health, and personal zen. I cannot recommend this podcast highly enough. These are the stories you NEED to hear. Listen and become a better person.
  • blckmtlfrvr
    Unbelievable!
    I have listened to this show since the beginning, and I find most of the opinions to be well reasoned. On a recent episode, it wasn’t stated that ihop is superior to Waffle House. This is obviously false. The host making this claim is from Georgia, so he should know better. In the dirty south, Waffle House reigns in blood like chaos.
  • Hal_246
    too centrist for me but still valuable
    I’d say I’m more to the left than the PIAT crew here, especially on the issue of whether or not to “vote blue no matter who”. but we’re on the same page in other ways and I still believe they have a valuable perspective to offer despite my disagreements with them
  • Jamie DSK
    "I'd have voted for Bloomberg" - NL
    Dunno about this “far-center” business, it’s just the regular old mainstream Centrist perspective. Imagine that Morning Joe show on msnbc, but with a good deal more forced laughing at their own jokes (so weird).
  • TheRook17
    Wish it were weekly
    I feel like we could really use a weekly version of this podcast, at least until the election. So much news to cover, and some of it gets dates by the time the next episode comes out. Still a great show
  • sammich!
    Not a great show. Takes are pretty centrist.
    Hosts are pretty poor comedians.
  • zenmasterflash
    Had I not reviewed this yet? Mea culpa and I grovel at your feet, Heath
    Well, my brain is fried enough after the summer I've had that I may not be able to manage the length nor duration of my reviews for the other PIAT shows, but suffice it to say that this biweekly 'cast takes the very best (worst) people perpetrating the most moronic recent political circusery (izzat even a word?), and turns them the hell OUT. Vulgar? Check. Witheringly biting? Check. Spot on target? Check and mate. Noah, Heath, and Eli (or whatever dyad is covering for the member of the trio who brought an excuse note so they could spank it like a meth-addled gibbon rather than do the record) never fail to nearly kill me each show, as I'm laughing so hard I just about crash into anything in my path. And no, I'm not always driving, either. Sometimes I'M spanking it like a meth-addled gibbon, and you really don't want to consider what one might crash into in such a situation. Listen. Subscribe, Share, Rate, and Pay These Guys! Srsly.
