Listener Reviews

(Note: I sent this in on March 9th, but seems to have got sucked into the ether, so I’m sending it again, per Billy’s request—and of course no need to read this part, lol—Bryan)No, don’t give me, a 53-year-old podcast addict, credit for that phrase in the title, I got it from these three intelligent, heartfelt gentlemen’s podcast over the weekend of March 7th. But that’s not all I get whenever I turn these guys on and get on my bicycle in my expat Yankee life in central Japan–no, these three consistently deliver high-quality analysis of current events and guess what–they actually are cool and mature enough that they can agree to disagree sometimes! Sadly, the recent tragic events in the Middle East has them all agreeing on the stupidity and evil decision of the Zionist-Occupied-Government, ZOG for short, and sadly, I couldn’t agree with them more. Anyway, if you’re looking for a weekly show that provides intelligent conversation–and a few laughs here and there—you’ve found a winner in “America Unplugged.”

I’ve been listening to America Unplugged along with each of your individual podcasts, and it’s become a staple for me. What stands out most is how difficult it is to ignore what’s happening once you start paying attention. It genuinely feels like a lot of people are still asleep to it—or choosing not to see it.I was watching V for Vendetta recently, and it hit me differently this time. It felt less like fiction and more like a warning that was ignored. The same goes for 1984 and Fahrenheit 451—books that were meant to caution us, yet sometimes feel more like blueprints in hindsight.That’s why shows like this matter. You’re not just talking—you’re helping people connect dots, question narratives, and actually think critically about the world around them. That kind of perspective is rare and needed.At one point I even caught myself comparing something from a fantasy novel—Red Caps, creatures that wear blood-soaked hats as trophies—to how symbolism and identity play out in our real world. It was a strange moment of overlap, but it drove home how storytelling and reality can mirror each other in uncomfortable ways.Bottom line: keep doing what you’re doing. I’ll keep listening, keep thinking, and keep sharing the show with others.

If they implement a draft there will probably be a civil war or a huge upheaval of Americans not on board with over sea conflicts or wars started by one man and congress have no teeth to protect the American people !

Three great people sharing truth. This show has helped me grow. I didn’t like Billy but he made me grow to see all aspects of someone’s views. Dons great. Tony is doing a lot of great things. I’d love to join yall sometime on the show.

No, don’t give me, a 53-year-old American expat podcast addict, credit for that phrase, I got it from these three intelligent, heartfelt gentlemen’s “America Unplugged” podcast episode over the weekend of March 7th. But that’s not all I get whenever I turn these guys on and listen as I ride my bicycle around the back alleys of central Japan–no, these three consistently deliver high-quality analysis of current events and guess what–they actually are cool and mature enough that they can agree to disagree sometimes! Remember that, America?Sadly, the recent tragic events in the Middle East has them all agreeing on the stupidity and evil decision of the Washington DC Zionist-Occupied-Government, ZOG for short, and sadly, I couldn’t agree with them more. Anyway, if you’re looking for a weekly show that provides intelligent conversation based on the facts, even if they are black–and a few laughs here and there—you’ve found a winner in “America Unplugged.”

Just when I think there is nothing good to listen to, I check my podcast app and there you are: America Unplugged, one of my favorite podcasts! You three make a great team!

Tony if you read this on the show I just want to say to you, don, Billy I appreciate the work you put into America unplugged and I look forward to listening each week. God bless gentleman.

I’ve been listening on Apple Podcasts for five years now, after first hearing Billy Ray on Clyde Lewis’s app, when he had an app. Before they tried to slowly silence him. The app would loop the infinite fringe David knight and few other shows— and America Unplugged has only gotten sharper with time. This isn’t safe, sanitized commentary. It’s fearless, independent analysis that refuses to bow to mainstream narratives.What keeps me locked in is the pattern recognition. Topics that were mocked or dismissed years ago are now front-page conversations. Watching so-called “conspiracy theories” age into documented reality has been both validating and unsettling. The show doesn’t spoon-feed opinions — it lays out information, asks hard questions, and lets critical thinkers connect the dots.If you want comfortable talking points, this isn’t your show. If you want independent thought, uncomfortable truths, and conversations that go where others won’t — this podcast absolutely earns five stars.

I started listening in order to hear opinions different from my own natural bent, and have had my perspectives changed on a few. (Good on you!) Not that you are soliciting suggestions, but … I would find the show easier on the ears if Billy thought about not instinctively demonizing those he disagrees with. When you concede valid points to the other side, it actually makes your own arguments even stronger! And it feels more like your’re listening to a discussion than a sermon.

This is the best podcast on news and politics with differing opinions and different ideas culminating in a refreshing and informative outlook on the world!

Man, I thought BRV had lost the plot for a bit but he’s been spot on. I love having a hive mind show to listen to. Y’all are great. Peace from Virginia! F the system!

It’s getting really hard to listen to. I used to love this show.

Love the shoe guys but man Billy’s got TDS so bad it’s hard to even listen to his rants anymore. I can’t stand Trump and he is no different than any other raging leftist.In my opinion you guys should part ways

Shameless plugg: Short out Wise Wolf &Gold Wolf 🐺 Pack 500$ option.Yeeyee! Past that, these three gentlemen are the bees knees . God bless

Trump episodes are explosive!

Great show but you guys vanished. No new shows for almost a month now ??

I enjoy your guys authentic camaraderie and sharing your views on what’s going on in the world. Billy Ray Valentine I particularly appreciate you because you seem clearly non-partisan and willing to call out political folks that lose your trust or never earned it. I also appreciate that you are afraid to contradict your friends if you disagree or think they’re being too harsh in unfair way….keep up the good work & keeping it real

The best of the best, all in one place! Love the show. Love that more people are waking up to the American nightmare (no longer the “American dream”) in which we’re all being subjected to. Keep speaking the truth! God bless you guys!

great show! GOAT’s usual lineup… Steve AM Wake up.. only daily show I tune into.. & Tony Arterburn. God bless you for your service.

Come here for great takes on events that supposedly matter in our world that will sharpen the way you may typically consider the reality of our lives unfolding.

Seems like there should be something better than this out there..... but there is not.Just proof of how far we have fallen.Keep punching!

Take the mockingbird media chip out and insert the freethinking one!

America Unplugged/I Protest are two of the best appointment listens there are in a sea of content. Don’s commentary is prescient (his books are required reading). Billy always gets you thinking from a different POV. Tony also has another feed (Arterburn Radio Transmission) so be sure to sub to both. Thanks guys for all the hours of enjoyable listening

Gotta check out America Unplugged with Don Jeffries, Tony Arterburn, and Billy The Kid, Billy Ray Valentine! This three headed monster of alternative media is unstoppable!
