Political Read #1

This episode is brought to you by The Jordan Harbinger Show, one of our favorite podcasts long before they started sponsoring us.

The Jordan Harbinger Show combines in-depth interviews with some of the world’s most fascinating minds like Barbara Boxer and Anderson Cooper [feel free to swap in any of the other guests; some suggested names below] with “Feedback Friday” episodes to respond to listener questions about everything from conventional conundrums like asking for a raise at work to doozies like helping a family member escape a cult.

It’s a great complement to this podcast, too. Here, you might hear the latest news about [topic your show recently covered, for example, Russia threatening to invade Ukraine]; on The Jordan Harbinger Show, you’ll learn useful advice from a heavy-hitting interview with [relevant interview guest on The Jordan Harbinger Show, see examples below, for example, Michael McFaul, a former United States ambassador to Russia who says he’s still being trailed by the Russian government.] — and that’s just the beginning.

Political Read #2

This episode is brought to you by The Jordan Harbinger Show, which has been one of my favorite podcasts literally ages before they started sponsoring mine.

The Jordan Harbinger Show features in-depth interviews with some of the world’s most fascinating minds like Charles Koch and Neil deGrasse Tyson, diving so much deeper than any other interview I’ve heard with them. It’s so clear that Jordan really goes in the weeds preparing for these — there are way too many interview-style podcasts that I would never recommend and are a complete waste of time; this is the exact opposite.

Every Friday, Jordan also releases a “Feedback Friday” episode to respond to listener questions, covering everything from “conventional” problems like leaving a dream job to doozies like helping someone escape an abusive relationship.

My personal favorites are his interviews with [name; list of sample guests below] and [name], along with some of those wild stories listeners share in Feedback Friday. 

Plus, listening to Jordan goes great with listening to this show, which you’re already doing right now. Here, you might hear the latest news about [topic your show recently covered, for example, Democrats failing to pass voting rights legislation]; on The Jordan Harbinger Show, you’ll learn useful advice from a heavy-hitting interview with [relevant interview guest on The Jordan Harbinger Show, see examples below, such as Barbara Boxer, who discusses using courage and seeking common ground to get things done] — and that’s just the beginning.

Political Read #3

Folks, check out this podcast: The Jordan Harbinger Show, available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you’re listening now.

Jordan interviews top performers like Jocko Willink, H.R. McMaster, Charles Koch, and North Korean defectors — that’s right, multiple men and women who have escaped the strictest regime in the world and lived to tell the tale.

Every Friday, Jordan also releases a “Feedback Friday” episode to respond to listener questions from normies like us, covering everything from “conventional” questions like navigating a hostile coworker to slightly weirder questions like helping a coworker leave an abusive partner to downright insane questions like a listener finding out if he was unknowingly a sugar daddy.

I honestly love Feedback Friday. It’s about life, love, work — anything that’s had you staying up at night, even if you’re not in North Korea.

It’s a great complement to this show, too. Here, you might hear the latest news about [topic your show recently covered, for example: growing global attention on climate change, and the extreme climate events we’re starting to see more and more]; on The Jordan Harbinger Show, you’ll learn useful advice from a heavy-hitting interview with [relevant interview guest on The Jordan Harbinger Show, see examples below, such as Lt. General H.R. McMaster, who speaks about why he believes climate change is one of the world’s biggest threats and challenges] — and that’s just the beginning.
