However, It is so sad that we even need this.

Capehart is everything wrong with journalism.

Can’t wait to read AG Ellison’s book! Such an insightful & brilliant man. Excellent questions from you, Jonathan! I will never forget the line from the closing arguments in the Chauvin trial: George Floyd didn’t die because his heart was too big, he died because Derek Chauvin’s heart was too small! As a footnote, I was a barista at a health food coop in Minneapolis when Rep Ellison was running for office and I had the great pleasure of serving him many times & enjoyed speaking with him. He’s very approachable & kind. He often used our little cafe area to work on his campaign. I listen to all your shows Jonathan, keep up the excellent work! I love you & I love your Aunt Gloria!

What a great speaker. I wish we had more politicians like him!

…for Democrats who love to see black people castrated for their pleasure.

I’ve just started listening to Jonathan’s podcast and am sold, 5+ stars, big fan. I’ve only heard 2 minutes and 45 seconds of the first episode with Michael Steele in 2016 so far and am drawn to the straight talking, truth telling, engaging dialogue. Refreshing to say the least. Jonathan’s a star xo

Jonathan’s 2021 interview of Ty Seidule, the author of “Lee and Me: A Southerner’s Reckoning with the Myth of the Lost Cause”, is extraordinary. In these renewed days of book burning it is perhaps more relevant than ever. Jonathan is a very gifted interviewer who clearly stands out in a crowded field.

Jonathan is a much needed voice in media and podcasting. I so appreciate the viewpoints and nuance he brings to his many interviews and conversations. I don’t usually review podcasts but after his extraordinary interview with the fabulous Billy Porter I was moved to do so. What an amazing, moving, necessary conversation. Bravo!

Wow, was she ever a racist. Talking about race during a dinner party the entire time. I’m a little hesitant to call out someone I don’t know on issues of race. You two were talking about those whom have married someone of another race and announce it. Jon, this is ‘you’ being together with a white man and always reminding us of it… We all need to look at our own issues first.

In addition to your podcast, I’ve been watching your show on MSNBC (and I am not a TV news watcher). What stood out to me was the way in which you paused after every false statement, and said the words “that statement was false.” We need ALL of our professional news anchors and commentators to do this. Thank you Jonathan Capehart.

JC is an amazing interviewer—so real, thoughtful and considerate to his guests. He brought out Andy Kim as a true American hero !

Thank you so much for this podcast. It was spellbinding. I'm a 60’s activist and now age 74. My generation has been waiting on this generation to get smarter and get active because if you get smarter you'll definitely get active. People are beginning to ACTUALLY believe that BLACK LIVES MATTER.

THE BEST MUST LISTEN SAVE & SHARE OF ALL TIME. Please Jonathan keep rebroadcasting this episode as long as CapeUp & you live❤️

Outstanding. I’ve already shared this episode with anti-racist workers. Thank you both!!

The interview with Ty Seidule was excellent, full of not widely known details about the school’s blatant historical efforts to maintain white supremacy on its campus.

I love Jonathan’s Tv show and I love his podcast where he digs deeply.

This is the most consistently interesting podcast that I follow. I always listen, even when the title doesn’t grab my attention, because Jonathan Capehart’s choices of guest and topic are always worthwhile. He is a skilled interviewer. He also has a good speaking voice and none of the annoying verbal tics of so many podcasters.

If the reason for the present white racist behavior can be explained by the manufacturing changes in America and the fact that white people don’t feel heard, what would explain the racist behavior from the inception of this country against Native Americans and enslaved African Americans? Some the discussed explanation could have some value to explain the extent of the current devotion to their de facto leader and movement, but most of it seems like an excuse to give cover to hateful behavior.

For starters, Jonathan lines up great guests, and with his spirited, informed, and racially astute approach to his chats, listening is always a tour de force experience.

I just listened to Jonathan’s interview with Representative Andy Kim of New Jersey. The discussion was wide-ranging and thoughtful. Very much worth your time. Ok, now I listened to the fantastic interview with Rebecca Carroll, author of Surviving the White Gaze. I have to take this opportunity to promote the podcast done by Angela Tucker, The Adoptee Next Door. Angela is also a Black woman raised by a white family, in her case in Bellingham, WA, a very white community. Worth a listen!

This interview with Heather McGhee is by far the most intelligent, informative, and enlightening interview of many brilliant ones I have listened to.

Mr Capehart is a great interviewer. I think he knows his subject, pays attention, and listens to his guests when they talk.

Loved this interview! I read his memoir and am reading The Devil You Know right now. His manifesto makes so much sense and he presents it so well. I am ready to support his campaign when he runs for office! Jonathan, I also enjoy seeing you on your new gig with PBS Newshour.

Very interesting interviews

Wonderful Interview!! LOVED IT!!!

Thank you for a great conversation. My copy arrived last week and I am learning and enjoying. I would live to hear more from Professors Blain and Kendi. Than you!

Hearing this made me cry and laugh and everything inbetween! I seriously cannot understand how in the world South Carolinians missed the chance to have this brilliant man be their Senator.

JC’s interview style is appealing and brings out the best in his guests. Every interview is compelling. I’ve leaned so much and met so many great Americans through listening. He’s my favorite podcast today.

Enjoyed your conversation with Simone Sanders. Will be watching her as she navigates her new position with Kamala Harris. Thank you.

One of my favorite podcasts for bringing brilliant political thinkers into my world. If you’re listening to the rest of the standard political/social podcasts, then you need to add Cape Up to up your polisci game.

Always thoughtful, smart, and kind. Capehart engages in real conversations that capture a big-picture political moment and an intimate, personal connection with guest, at the same time. He has a real gift as an interviewer, chooses great guests, and is just a pleasure to hang out with. I’m disappointed only when the episodes are too short!

This has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts. I appreciate the original line up of guests and topics. Great energy and focus.

Brittany Cooper and Darrell Scott would be an interesting debate episode.

Stumbled upon this and it’s fantastic!

So glad I found it!!! Great conversions!!

Thanks for the perspective on black men and black women.

Mr. Capehart, I always enjoyed watching and listening to you whenever you were on A.M Joy on the weekends. I especially enjoyed whenever you sat in for her. You’re brilliant. You teach me every time you speak. I especially enjoyed you podcast with Senator Chris Coons. Your knowledge base and questions made the interview fly by. Additionally there was so much I didn’t know I feel compelled to listen twice so I can retain all I heard. It was was frightening knowing the devastation an Judge Amy Coney Barrett will do to our courts and our government. It was bad enough as a survivor of rape as a teenager that I needed an abortion. I thought it would ruin women and families lives for generations, but I didn’t understand she’ll undo marriage equality but to undo environmental and the various government protection agencies. I’m in a panic wondering how we will ever fix what the gritting and wreckage of the Trump presidency? I was unaware of Senator Coons impressive education and what a genteel well seasoned dedicated public servant he’s been. And I knew I liked Joe Biden, I remember you calling him Uncle Joe and now I know why your family likes him. I pray Trump doesn’t strong arm this election and we all together can help build our republic back better. He is a perfect president for our broken Nation. It’s a shame you didn’t take over the AM Joy. I don’t watch anymore on the weekends. It doesn’t have the same vibe. Nonetheless your podcast is a must for me to stay well informed. Thank you! Sally

Always interesting and informative.

Deeply inspired and grateful to have re-discovered hope for the survival of democracy.

The most recent podcast (Oct. 2020) with Chris Coones gave me hope and reminded me of what a hard job we have ahead of us.

The insights shared by Rev Al are hugely helpful. Very glad you talked about the need to support our LGBTQ brothers and sisters. Wonderful, honest conversation. Thank you, Gentlemen!

Always informative, Jonathan. Love you on TV and on Instagram—love your podcast too. Great to have you back!

Excellent interview with NM Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham

Good variety of guests and Jonathan Capehart has an interviewing style that's both deep/insightful and friendly/approachable.

I just finished reading White Fragility with another white friend and came across The Atlantic piece by John McWhorter. Any chance you might interview him to hear more about his criticisms of this book? Fans in Davis, CA

Great interviews from a different perspective with really interesting guests !

I always get so much out of your commentaries on the news, and love the deep-dive into important topics on this podcast!

Great and informative. Love it!

The content of this podcast is fantastic and I appreciate that I get as much if not more out of these episodes as I do from, say, Ezra Klein’s which are so freaking long. BUT since he started doing the virtual recording, it seems like every single episodes features the dinging of phones/instant messages. Please put your devices on silent and ask your guests to do the same.

Jonathan is always sane, thoughtful, mature in times that are so very stressful. Bravo!
