Excellent show today with excellent guests, thank you! Women that voted for state referendums to keep abortion legal and yet voted also for trump/hawley and all the rest of the anti abortion republicans. as a woman I feel that those women are stupid. No other way to put it. Do those women think republicans aren’t going to keep chipping away at abortion rights, even a national ban on abortion? We are dealing with a very stupid illogical electorate. They are voting a straight line to diffusing their own referendum vote.

Your guest gave some great advice at after the KH failed election. Go out touch the grass and garden. Get back in touch with nature and protect your sanity.

Excellent show! Thank you, Dr. Johnson, for your timely and wide ranging topics and excellent analysis. Keep up the great work!

I listen to podcasts all the time. What I like most about Jason Johnson is the question method. He adds thought provoking questions, not just .. What’s your name? What you selling? What’s your Twitter handle? His subjects may not seem mainstream, but after he addresses a topic, he explores its affect on society as a whole. I look forward to every episode.

First, love your commentary! Enjoy listening to you filling in for Joy Reid! The episode with Michael Harriot, was very interesting and spoke a lot of truth. I don’t want to label someone with lazy journalism but the valid point of not checking conservatives when they speak out of tone, because the hosts don’t know how to check them or hold them accountable for the things they say. Great point!!!!

Leslie Jones is great!

What podcast do you subscribe to ensures that at the end of every episode provides an action a listener can take or a glimmer of hope for a change? Dr. Johnson’s tag line - a podcast about race, politics AND everything else is so true! I’ve subscribed since the first episode and look forward to listening.

I frequently need to take my time with these episodes to really process the conversations. They are deep and engaging topics that aren’t the typical “Black” or African American targeted topics. Thank you for seeing more of our community

Dr. Johnson is just an exceptional interviewer. He actually allows his guest to talk without interrupting. I always learn something from each episode. Thank you for so much for such high-level content. You always keep it enlightening.

I love this podcast. Jason Johnson serves up enlightening, often infuriating, and always riveting interviews and conversation. Essential stuff. Thank you so much.

I count on this podcast to learn more about the people and issues that are important to our world today. Jason always has interesting guests, focuses on topics relevant to the Black community, and he has a knack for asking intriguing questions in a personable style. It’s like we’re listening in on a conversation Jason is having in his living room!

Great work!

Glad you’re talking about student loan debt.

Enjoy podcast very much. PleAse keep up good work.

Jason, I’ve been a listener since the beginning and your recent podcast (about the white evangelical racism) was one of the best. My reason is that for years (even before ‘45’) that this type of racist behavior has been going on. I witnessed this during Obama’s second term, which a lot of my colleagues exposed themselves with their bigotry and racism, and cloak it with the words of the Bible. It also was very difficult to share this with my siblings that are older than myself. They refused to believe that whites would be racists and carry a bible and quote scriptures. I’m in my early 60’s and it was a challenge even when they do see it. I would hear excuses and always the phrase “I’ll be praying for them”. I do know that prayer changes but you have to be aware of the enemy at all times. Even now, which they’re walking in plain sight and no hoods. Please continue the good work. Joseph Hodge

I’ve been a huge fan of both Jason Johnson and his guest, Anthea Butler since I was first introduced to their work via Karen Hunter. So happy to discover this podcast. The topics and guests are so on point, I only wish that the episodes were longer.

I love what Jason brings to this space!!! This is a great and thoughtful podcast that needs to be heard.

I’ve been a fan of Mr. Johnson’s commentary from his days at The Root to his MSNBC gig. To discover this Pod on Slate just speaks to it’s quality. Covering politics, Black issues, celebrity culture and countless other topics, he keeps it engaging, thought provoking and fun! My only complaint? Make the pod longer. 👏

Jason Johnson always tells the truth. He cares about the Black community

I learn so much whenever I hear Jason explaining or commenting on an issue. I bet he’s an amazing (and tough) Professor.

I’m a big fan since JJ was on Urban View

Hard to imagine the type of person who would listen to this on a regular basis.

As a white person who grew up in the ‘Civil Rights Era’, I’m still trying to be a part of our multicultural society. These podcasts, which speak from a POC point of view, are helping. ❤️

Outstanding episode Dr. Jason Johnson

It’s great to hear diverse perspectives on current hot topics and why they should be important to me. Keep on! Love your work!

I have great respect for Michael Steele and Colin Powell. I miss seeing our old school Black Republicans

We need longer episodes! I love this podcast! The podcast conversations are needed and appreciated. Succinct and intellectual.

It’s become a top 10 podcast for my must listen to series. Keep up the great work!!

I listen every week and always learn something new. Dr. Jason covers myriad of subjects that are always interesting and relevant. I’m a big fan of this show!

Keep the stories of underserved creators coming!

Love your podcast and love hearing u on the Clay Cane show to. You give me so much information

I really enjoy this podcast. Dr Jason Johnson is excellent & has great guests, informative topics & relevant issues are discussed.

Glad when I heard you were getting a podcast. I’ve enjoyed listening since it’s inauguration. Can’t wait for your own show!! Continue the great work on what is going on in the highly melaniated communities

Waste of time

I am a fan of Dr. Johnson’s work on MSNBC and I am a fan of his podcast. I enjoy listening to him and his guests discuss timely topics.

As someone who has loved Dr. Johnson on MSNBC and Twitter I really appreciate his new podcast.

Have very much enjoyed each episode and find myself looking forward to listening each interview. Wide ranging topics, great conversations.

Seems like a good show. I was hoping that this first show would discuss Mike Pesca’s cancellation. That didn’t happen. Maybe next show? C’mon Slate - bring Mike back - or, at the very least, engage in an open discussion of what, exactly, his “crimes” are. Seems like the PERFECT topic for this show, no?

On the very first episode I was able to apply what I learned to a very difficult work situation. I was changed by it.

So very excited for this. I am looking at this as being in one of his courses!!

Great Podcast!! Love your work. Waiting for you and Tiffany Cross to get a show together...you guys are hilarious and have great chemistry🥰😂

Keep shining your light, Jason! We sorely need it!

Dr. Johnson teaching these devils daily.

LOVED her as a guest! Thank you!

Every five minutes, he has to say “A Word with Jason Johnson”. Another person trying to get into podcasting who doesn’t understand the difference from radio. Or just doesn’t know what he is doing generally. Hopefully it will get better. Definitely has potential.

I’m familiar with the host’s work from “Brother from Another”. He’s an incredibly knowledgeable guest. I’m excited for him to have his own show. All the best-Nick

I have waited for your podcast. Great Job!!! Can’t wait for next episode.

I’m not big on any social media stuff. Heck, I have no FB, Insta, Twitter, Snap, none of it!! And I feel just as informed as anyone without all the “friends” and “followers” cause I don’t need them. But when I heard Jason say he was starting this podcast, I was READY to jump on tha “subscribe” wagon! Not too many pundits keep it as real as you! So thanks for this Jason!! Can’t wait for more!!

Always wanted to hear your voice more on MSNBC. Congrats your podcast and awesome 1st guest. Can’t wait for the next episode 💪🏿

Awesome show Dr. Johnson, love the energy on a very relevant topic. I look forward to future shows.
