I love all that makes Andrew tick. But wish the pod still had a political theme, really enjoyed his perspective. And in this climate post election and the massive shift we are seeing in America’s “democracy”, I’d love nothing more than his thoughts on it all.

Yang for President 2028 🇺🇸

I appreciate the Frank Lunt interview.

I’ve been following Andrew Yang closely for a few years. He has actual ideas for how to fix the broken political system in the U.S. He gets what the average American is suffering from and what to do about it. He’s a voice a reason and hope. I always feel more positive when I hear his take on what to do about a major problem we’re facing. More people need to pay attention to what he’s saying! This podcast is a great place to start.

Andrew Yang and the guests that appear are flat out the best political problem solvers in U.S. politics. This show is even more inclusive than the Left, Right, & Center podcast. It is just as important to our country as C-Span

I thought you were a progressive… You now are supporting Dean over Marianne??? Ib’s has never been progressive until it suited him, just like Biden, he talks with no action. How much did he pay you??? I will never listen to you again.. You are as bad as Dean.

Andrew Yang is an excellent interviewer but his real strength is finding amazing guests to interview. Andrew consistently finds experts in their field and shares their life's work with the audience. His ability to find guests from a wide range of expertise is what makes the Podcast worth adding to your list. His interview with Jennifer Pahlka on her book Recoding America introduced me to a problem that I was not aware existed. Today’s show with Dan Pallotta motivated me to write this review. If you are looking for honest, truthful information and practical solutions to our country's biggest problem, do yourself a favor and listen to The Forward.

How does it feel to be a fool?

Incompetent grifter

The wide range of discussion topics covered here is hard to match. Too few pods “stay in their place” and are too ignorant, afraid, or disingenuous in their purpose to critically ask questions. That leads me to my next question: Andrew will you please run for Prez again??!?!

I highly recommend Forward! I have learned so much from so many of the great guests and discussions on the Forward Podcasts! (Insider Tip: If you enjoy watching vs just listening, you can watch them on YouTube!) These podcasts are not just a promotion for the Forward Party, they rarely even discuss it!

I listened to the whole episode to get Forward’s thoughts on the midterms in Utah bc the description said it would be a “post-midterm postmortem.” No comment except- we’ll talk about Utah in the future. So, I bought the product with my time and turns out I made a bad purchase. I get that a podcast guarantees no level of quality and is just the garbage that comes out of me and my friend’s mouths for an hour but the subject deserves at least two sentences in the production or a voiceover from the producer at the beginning or a note in the show notes or even a crazy run on sentence that is simply stream of consciousness.

Enough with American politics as it is. Time to move Forward.

Forward we go!! Andrew, you’re a really great innovator and now have a great podcast. It really is worth the listen for anyone looking for a third option outside the old and tired red vs blue talk.

If you vote democrat or republican then you’ll be doing the same thing 4 years later. Your lesson is dumb and nobody should learn from it. Wake up and vote 3rd party. Andrew, run as an independent or libertarian or Green Party for all I care. For the love of God, let’s leave Democrats and Republicans in the past

Listening to Forward is liberating and cathartic. Here’s the beautiful thing – even if I don’t always agree with everything that is being said on the podcast, the fact that I’m allowed to feel that way without shame or judgement is made clear. That makes me want to listen and engage more. Thank you Andrew Yang, and the rest of the Forward Party for bringing some clarity to America.

If you want some sanity in your life, listen to this wonderful and completely unique and refreshing voice.

You lost me at “Of course Joe Rogan said something racist, he’s said an infinite amount of things.” Like if people talk enough they are bound to say something racist eventually. Um… no.

This podcast featuring Jill Wang is all about a grifter who learned from Donald Trump how to make running for office a profit center. Walk on.

please andrew yang do *not* run a 3rd party presidential run. i voted for ralph nader in the 2000 race instead of gore. as did about 22,000 others and by doing that bush won. jill stein effed up the 2016 race not that i was a big fan of hillary (i am a bernie supporter)but i loathed trump so voted for hillary and again we lost and the gop won and both were horrible for progressives. you won’t win and you will usher in a republican. please don’t run, i learned my lesson once please learn from my lesson.

I cannot wait till it comes to Minnesota.

I’m in. We need a balanced budget amendment. This is the right time for a third party. #GSD

Thanks for covering how the Democrats are taking donor money to do ads for the extra far right Republican candidatesthey want to oppose, among other dirty and hypocritical tactics. Out here in California Gavin Newsom’s campaign ran ads for the Republican candidate for Governor, who has no chance, to avoid running against Michael Shellenberger (I) because he has real ideas for how to fix some problems out here, and was more equipped than the Republicans in Ca to shine a light on Newsom’s incompetence. I’m leaving the Dem party.

I came to listen to Shane Gillis and listened to a bunch more after. Good podcast!

It’s painful to listen to you guys talk about the J6 hearings with limited info. I can listen to anyone speculate.

On board with the Forward Party but I am not down for this platform as being used to hype crypto, it discredits important ideas that impact real people. Not really sure if the Zach and Crypto Carley episodes will age well :/ would like more balanced perspective on this topic and let the audience decide 🤷🏻‍♀️

I enjoy view points and interviews. Agree however with others and would give one star for all the f-bombs, makes me stop listening and choose another podcast.

I don’t agree with all of his views but he is more in tune with critical issues that are missed (i.e. impact of automation, data protection, etc.).

I wish they’d stop the f bombs. It’s unprofessional

I was not part of the “Yang Gang,” and I only began to follow Andrew and the Forward Party when I learned about their platform elsewhere. I cannot speak to Yang’s history in politics nor can I speak to the good that Zach has probably done for the cause. However, I find Zach to be a frustrating host. His language is crass and his opinions seem knee jerk. A lot of the conversations I’ve listened to—especially the most recent about the Russian invasion of Ukraine-left me feeling unsettled about Zach and his naïveté regarding geopolitical conflict. I wonder if other listeners share my impression that much of a given episode is devoted to Andrew tempering or correcting Zach’s positions. I am not a political expert by any estimation, but I suspect the podcast would improve and gain listeners if Andrew were to acquire a host more on par with his insight and experience.

You guys have gotten way too conservative. What is going on? I started following AY because of universal basic income. Now you’re having conservative guests on preaching about the “American family” and talking about how men aren’t manly anymore. It’s tone deaf. I’m sure I’m not the only progressive follower you’re losing .

Bowed to the woke mob over Rogan, you and him are the two most common sense people I’ve seen in the public eye. What a shame

Defended Joe Rogan initially, but pulled back quickly when pressure was applied from external forces. You will never be president! You need to work on that stupid sound you make when you laugh. You and Kamala have the same problem. Ha, ha, ha! 2024 Trump resumes! Get ready for the reckoning! We will meet the a holes in the street this time and stolen election won’t be allowed ever again in this country! Write That Down!

Take a drink every time Andrew cuts off Zach mid-sentence

I still have a Yang shaped hole in my heart. Politically speaking anyways.

I'm writing this Review TO Andrew and Zach! you guys said in the episode that you feel like your're going to get killed for this episode: since you're talking about what men/boys need. So I wanted to take the time to say that I really appreciated everything you have to say. I have shared this episode with friends because I think the message is so needed. Bless both of you. You are loved!

You learn a lot and Andrew Yang is a very engaging host. Great listening!!

Hi Andrew, I recently discovered your podcast & I’m so glad that you have an outlet for these discussions & are looking to start a third party. So far, I’ve really appreciated your interviews with Marianne Williamson and Johann Hari. Unfortunately, in listening to your last episode “Stolen Focus”, I heard that one of your sponsors is BetterHelp. As a psychotherapist, I found this extremely troubling for many, many reasons. For starters, BetterHelp was extremely open in their privacy policy where they essentially stated that all the information they gather from users is sent to third parties. After numerous therapists criticized them for this, they have changed their privacy policy to sound more elusive, though many of us highly doubt their actual practices have changed. Jeff at TherapyDen.com is a therapist who has spoken a lot about this aspect of BetterHelp. Additionally, therapists are very aware that BetterHelp severely underpays their therapists for the amount of work required. All hired therapists are independent contractors and paid small amounts. Personally, I am also concerned about BetterHelp’s business model as a 24/7 access to a therapist via text. This whole concept goes against traditional psychotherapy philosophy that too much regular interaction with the therapist fosters and encourages dependency rather than supports people in adjusting to life without therapy. Additionally, there is no research that shows “text therapy” as an effective approach. In fact, many real life agencies and practices strongly discourage it due to the higher likelihood of a confidentiality and HIPAA violation by using text. This 24/7 access model comes off as another big tech tactic to foster more dependency on their services so they can make more money. I found it extremely ironic that this was discussed in your last episode “Stolen Focus” and then the episode is sponsored by a tech company who is attempting to not only turn therapists into gig workers, but steal peoples attention to their app so they are dependent on therapist access 24/7. I could go on about my clinical, ethical, and legal concerns about BetterHelp but I feel that is enough for now. I hope that is informative and you will reconsider using them as a sponsor in the future.

I’d like to see Andrew take questions from the publisher c.

This is a podcast about how to fix late stage capitalism so that capitalism has a future, how to fix an American political culture that is focused more on short term goals and appearances than long term progress, and how to put power in the hands of altruistic, empathetic, science based, integrity based leadership

Andrew Yang’s laugh is the primary reason he will never be President. Decent pod though …

I have been a long-time supporter of Andrew Yang and his political ideas, and generally find his podcast to be interesting and informative. However, my opinion changed drastically after listening to the episode with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying. I found the entire discussion about “alternative” medicine to be nonsensical, and Andrew’s gushing, credulous praise of clearly ridiculous ideas (e.g., if an injury is sustained in a manner that could have been experienced by our ancient ancestors, the body should be to heal without conventional medical intervention) was shocking, frankly. Worst of all, Andrew gave Weinstein and Heying a complete pass on the fact that they advocate for very controversial (to be charitable) positions on COVID-19 treatment. I can only assume that this was done intentionally, which I find to be an extremely troubling and intellectually dishonest decision on Andrew’s part. I’m all for the open discussion of controversial ideas, but this fawning, uncritical, and (by omission) ultimately dishonest interview really took the wind out of my sails in terms of my support for Andrew.

Testing the process for writing a review, but love y’all, love the pod!

Yang needs a top-quality audio set, fast!

It’s great to hear great new ideas based on common sense. Let’s smoke the two corrupt parties that have ruined this country. More please.

Really insightful show

Besides Andrew’s awful laugh, show is pretty good.

Andrew Yang is the only person not on a partisan extreme who is both thinking creatively about the big-picture problems in USA and also doing something about it (as opposed to just trying to drum up more votes for one party or another). Input to the podcast from Carly Reilly is consistently well informed and incisive. Would be good to hear voices from people representing geoups that are subordinated in the current US social structure (from various positions on the political spectrum).
