This show discusses global wars, usually under reported ones. Some episodes are good as the guests are knowledgeable, good to listen to, and audio is clear. Sometimes this isn’t the case and the episode is a terrible listen. But the worst part of the podcast is the host. He has an ugly voice, sounding like a British ogre. He also adds his dumb political beliefs when trying to ask the guest a question, turning a simple question into a 3 minute rant. Shut up and let the guest tell you their opinion, otherwise don’t invite them if you don’t want them to talk.

Pop Front my favorite for current events journalism world conflicts and independent news 💯☯️ always great work Jake

Show us on the doll where the “far right” has hurt you

Disgusting to interview a “journalist” who mocks babies being burned alive. That’s all you need to know about this trash podcast.

Anti authoritarian but no nonsense, very diverse set of guests and topics

For a commie sympathizer

Thanks for the work you put in. 💪

Used to be good but it’s gotten too unserious. Wagner armchair “expert” is unknowledgeable and tries way too hard to be funny. Sorry Jake, when I want to laugh I’ll go to an actual comedian, and when I want actual reporting I’ll go to an actual reporter

God forbid your opinion conflicts with his. No wonder him and Andrew Callaghan were such good friends

It’s like if Vice News was run by one person. Lol

You heard me

Very informative, love Jake

Can’t find much about Ukrainian war crimes, seems like controlled opposition. Something’s fishy, smells like Jooooz

Fancy man gonna tell me bout the baddies. Smoke a joint every time there is a genocide and I’m pretty high

Def feel like they are reporting facts without much agenda. Yet I still trying to get past the constant F bombs. Hard to take journalistic reporting seriously when they have such a limited vocabulary.

Been following Popular Front for a couple years on IG. Found the podcast a bit ago. Definitely good listen with no-nonsense agenda. Love the content.

Jake and his guests break down conflicts and impending conflicts in detailed, nuanced ways that help people better understand the world. He’s doing groundbreaking work and I can’t recommend this podcast and his documentaries enough! Keep up the outstanding work!!

One of the most interesting and informative shows around. Highly recommend

High quality and well researched. Its given me a lot of useful insight into the rest of the world that just isn’t covered very well or at all elsewhere.

Honest and well researched

Very refreshing view and reporting.

This is an obvious listen for anyone interested in war.

Popular front is exactly what it says on the tin: grassroots media that reports on under-reported conflict and related topics. The most refreshing part is that while the host absolutely has his own politics, they do not get in the way of his reporting or the topics he covers. They inform the questions and his framing, but he isn’t afraid to discuss topics and interview people he disagrees with. This also isn’t done with the usual “both sides-ism” common in most media today. It’s refreshing, informative, and I’ve learned more from this podcast that probably any other podcast I’ve listened to. Listen to it, you won’t regret it.

Incredible information about international conflicts and news.

Get this guy an interpreter por favor

This is such a great resource for understanding individual people and how they are effected by events in the world

Worth a listen

Big fans!

It’s strange. I don’t always agree with Jake. I don’t have PF as my only / main source of int’l news. It’s not even the most entertaining podcast either. But it offers a wholly unique and honest take on matters both covered and uncovered. Jake’s perspective is one that I respect enough that I shall keep listening for the foreseeable future. Definitely journalism worth supporting.

Brave, even-handed, smart. Jake Hanrahan delivers these qualities on every show. If you are interested in foreign policy and conflict journalism, this is a must listen.

I don’t always agree with Jake on how he reports things but he does report his stories honestly, I appreciate how he’s upfront like yes I have bias when covering a story, every human does. I’ve never heard someone be so upfront about why they view a story a certain way and how that influences coverage makes this reporting feel very personal and it’s a style I appreciate. 5 stars

It’s so important to have conflict journalism which isn’t beholden to corporate interests or governments. Keep up the good work!

Jake does such a great job interviewing experts on a wide variety of conflicts. Excellent podcast, can’t recommend it highly enough.

Please cover the Sri Lankan ethnic conflict which has been overlooked for decades. The genocide happened. Please, and thank you for your work. Thank you deeply!

Recently found this show. Good episodes about important events not covered by the majority of news outlets

Easily some of the most important work of our time. Shut up, Jake. Yes it is. I know you’re just trying to get the story out there but you are and it’s a story that must be known. So thanks for doing the coverage

I just love finding high-quality work out there. He has turned me onto so many important conflicts in this world that I probably wouldn’t have known about otherwise. Strongly recommend for anyone who is anyone

I found Popular Front after listening to Jake on another podcast and I am so glad I did. He reports on topics that I would have never heard about or been interested in otherwise. Love his outlook and perspective on the world so much so that I even signed up for the Patreon.

Great content and perspective, plus I honestly just love the dudes midlands accent.

Heard about on Ari Shaffir’s The Skeptic Tank. Sick show, keep it up and be safe

Best war themed podcast out there!

I got into your show through robert evans podcast on your trip to siria and ive beem hooked ever since its always interesting to hear about the weird little things of conflict people don't usually think about.

I was hoping for some reporting on conflict without a spin or agenda. This has plenty of both. The Portland one was the worst. Maybe vetting who you talk to instead of just having anti’s info about what is going on. Your show though so best of luck.

When he isn’t simping for the YPJ/Rojava Hanrahans a half decent journalist. Episodes and guests vary in quality but it’s listenable for the most part.

Not a very good podcast. However, it’s good to see an intellectually handicapped person being given a chance to host a show.

Short half an hour interviews that cut to the chase and focus on the main topic. Some of the conflicts that Jake goes interest that I never knew before listening to popular front. A non political journalist has been a refresher from what is the norm of today, though it seems that some people don’t like being faced criticism of the ideology that they subscribe to. Keep the good work and cheers.

Narrative drives everything. This podcast looks to report underreported events that do not fit into the mainstream narrative. It is not conspiratorial, but looks to help people broaden their understanding of the world through independent journalism that isn’t tainted by corporate sponsorship and money.

Can be interesting, but Jake has a bad habit of enjoying and promoting random violence from people on the left without having any context. Makes it hard to trust him. He knows this though, he admits to having anger and emotional problems.
