    Amazing!
    Shawn, I thank you for the podcasts that you put out. It keeps me remembering that we’re not alone in this f’d up world. I hope and pray for this country, but we’ve turned our backs on God for so long, it will take a while for us to get back to where He wants us to be. Thank you again for the information and interviews that you have shared. God bless you and your family. JB

    For the people, not the agenda
    This podcast, hosted by former Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan, pulls back the curtain on current events with a real and raw perspective. It doesn’t shy away from the ugly truths, giving listeners unfiltered insight into what’s really going on in the world. Honest, no-nonsense, and fiercely for the people — this show is a must-listen for anyone seeking clarity beyond the headlines.

    Worth the time
    I have had an amazing life and done many things others only get to maybe hear about. Time is now my most valued commodity. This show is life changing. I say that because I have changed my life after listening to several episodes. The info is worth more than gold.

    Exceptional
    I absolutely love the Ryan Show! Ryan’s exceptional interviewing skills truly set him apart, even compared to shows like Joe Rogan’s and Patrick Bet-David’s. His way of interviewing attracts me above podcast something very relaxing and personal about the way he interviews. The way he engages with his guests and draws out meaningful conversations is unparalleled. I especially appreciate his attention to detail, from his dress code to the room ambiance. It’s all so well done. (Maybe less F bombs) I hope the show continues to grow and reach even greater heights. It would be fascinating to see Ryan dive into current topics with figures like Elon Musk and President Trump conflict. Keep up the amazing work, Ryan!

    The Shawn Ryan Show is a masterclass in conversation
    What starts as an interview often turns into a deep dive into everything from military experience and survival to politics, mental health, and raw personal stories. Shawn brings intensity, curiosity, and respect to each guest—whether it’s a Navy SEAL, a whistleblower, or a scientist. The range of topics is massive, but the tone is always real. Unfiltered, thought-provoking, and never boring.

    Blow my mind!
    Shawn I am amazed every time I listen to your show. I never thought I was stupid but I am beginning to wonder. You are opening my eyes to so many things I had no idea were even out there! I am a Christian and I don’t know the Bible like an expert but I have studied and read the Bible through 3 times. I am 68 and you are really blowing my mind! Thank you and keep up the good work! Look forward to learning and examining new ideas and trying to keep an open mind about stuff! Much prayer needed!

    This show ever fails to encourage me. It is a must listen to show. Shaun has a real talent to lead the guest down the right direction. This podcast is one that you never know what you are going to learn. FANTASTIC

    Shining Light on the Truth
    I’ve been a diehard podcast listener since 2016 and over the last few months this has become my new favorite. Really enjoying going back listening to so many amazing shows. I was raised Catholic and had a great experience as a child but since age 14 my faith has ebbed and flowed. This show has helped bring me back to faith in a strong way. God Bless Shawn, his family, and his team.

    Can’t really stop listening
    So let me say a couple of things first. One, I’m late to the game when it comes to Shawn Ryan. I assume that is mostly due to number 2, which is that I’m most likely not in the same political arena as Shawn or most of his guest. I found Shawn through his EDC videos on You Tube and then started watching the interview clips. And now I’m fully invested in listening to the podcast interviews every chance I get. Regardless of my politics, I do love guns, and try to shoot at least twice a month. I also admire people who serve and have served. One of the biggest regrets of my life was not enlisting after high school. But being young and dumb I did other things instead. I find myself enthralled with these military people Shawn interviews. I love how he takes the time to let them tell their entire life story. I just can’t get enough. Most of their stories are gut wrenching but also fascinating. I actively follow about 10 podcasts, I’ve stopped listening to all others until I get caught up.

  • Gijody1996
    Amazing, Insightful, Helpful
    Shawn does a fantastic job as a host and is so authentic. Truly a genuine person.
  • Boos hart
    Always Entertaining
    I’ve listened to 80% roughly of all the podcasts. They’re always gripping, emotional or super informative. I love mostly in my opinion, for some men to show their emotions and break the stigma of men needing and receiving help with mental health. I look forward to every release. And Shawn Ryan is an amazing interviewer and host. Also welcome to TN!! Keep on keeping on.

    Love it
    Shawn, I just recently discovered this podcast and I started from the beginning. I am on episode 13 and I just wanted to say this is the most amazing show that I have had the privilege to listen to! Thank you for doing what you’re doing and keep it up.

    A ‘Sit Down’ with Military, Megadeath, or an Exorcist
    Gotta give credit to Ryan’s reach when he gives a platform not only to a whole host of military veterans, like himself, yet also to a range of people from an exorcist priest to a metal band singer. Shawn gives each guest plenty of rope in a 2-3+ hour podcast, so while they explore, we tag along for the walk. Shawn’s insightful inquiry, timely and sometimes very bold. Ryan has a gift in bringing out the best in people. Thanks for putting up the great content, Shawn!

    Amazing
    Can’t believe it look me so long to find this

    Let's Be Honest — You're Not Neutral
    After looking at your guest list and listening to your podcast, it’s obvious you’re not the “neutral” voice you claim to be. Let’s be real — your content leans hard to the far right. You’re basically FOX News with a microphone, pandering to an audience too checked out to notice the bias. A former Navy guy gone full far-right — LOL. Seriously, who hurt you?
  • Sgt_Loera_M1Gunner
    Awesome!
    Been with them from the beginning

    Great Podcast
    I love the content and all the guest you bring on air! I learn a lot of great information and as a LE, it keeps me sharp and motivated!

    Mr. Vickers
    He stated that he was not the Father or husband he should have been but how could he have been? He dedicated his life to the unit and our great nation. As far as missing little league games, anniversaries or whatever I think he deserves a strong pass. Especially from himself. Thank you both for what you have done and continue to do.
  • LWC ROCKS!

    Curiosity
    I really appreciate the shows willingness to explore all sides, topics and viewpoints. Shawn interviews with respect, genuine interest, and gets his guests to really dive into their topics. I also appreciate the willingness to discuss Christianity and its history. Thank you.
  • Brodie&Morgam
    Shawn is the REAL DEAL

    Keep it Up
    Thank you for service and Love the show! Listening to you (& Peter Berg) led my wife and I to have our own profound “plant based”medical treatments. Wouldn’t have done them without your advocacy, so thank you.

    Shawn Ryan
    I just listen to you on TC Podcast. I absolutely love when my favorite podcasters are on each other’s podcast. Shawn, you’re amazing and are doing a fantastic job! I am praying for you, your family and your team for complete truth in God’s word and continuing your growth in God’s word. I love hearing about your journey. I live in Tennessee and when I’m in town, I’d love to run into you, team & family. Please don’t take that in a creepy way! lol. I’m 51 year old mom of a 17 year old daughter and happily married. I homeschooled my girl. I encourage her to listen to podcast for educational purposes and I love yours! I love what you and your team are doing!! I appreciate it! God blessing to you all. Keep on keeping on! Btw! No hit piece could cancel you! Jesus knows your whole story! He’s using you for good! Praise God for that! I sure do!

    Your story
    Absolute great show Shawn there is no better podcast out there than this one but I'm very curious because there are sometimes where you talk about yourself in these interviews why can't we get Shawn Ryan as the guest have somebody interview the interviewer very curious about your story and I'm sure the listeners are too

  • Dusty hook
    A great podcast hosted by a great man.
    Thank you for being real! I feel very connected to Shawn after listening to his interviews. Some guests on the podcast interest me and some do not interest me, that being said I still listen to the episode because of the way Shawn conducts the show. Great questions and stories and Real life experience that is conveyed with love and real genuine motive. Your values and view of the world is spot on !! So glad I found this podcast it gives me hope, makes me laugh, and teaches me things nearly every new episode that comes!!!! THANKS!

    Dave Mustaine
    Having been a long time fan of Dave Mustaine and his work. I was really impressed when he was on your podcast! I l appreciate you and your team for putting out great content.Every time I listen I learn something new! Thank you
  • Ragnar 41
    Amazing
    This show is riveting! No matter who the guest is, I’m glued to it. I think it’s the best out there. Heavy hitter guests. Whether it’s the war fighters of the past or the intelligence folks folks on the front lines today. Unbelievable interviews! You learn just how much you don’t know because it usually doesn’t fit the political or the media’s agenda. I also realized that as an aircraft mechanic from Desert Storm, that I wish I could have done more. I wish I could go back and make a bigger difference. Risk more like so many of Shawn’s guests have. Great job Shawn and crew. I’m all in.

    Eye Opening Truth
    Thank you Shawn for giving us the truth. I enjoy all the topics and personalities you have on your show. They are mind opening and much appreciated. Your guests are all well spoken and have such high level experience that normal people like me would never have access to. So thank you for interviewing the folks you do. I’m glad you have documented our military vets, their stories will forever be remembered, in their words. Well done. I hope you have a very long and storied career. Thanks again and god bless.

    To Listeners
    Through my listening with this show I’ve learned that he is not only one of the greatest podcasts to listen to but it’s very genuine and unbiased, can never stop watching.

    Appreciation
    It’s seldom in life that you find someone who is humble & genuinely trying to help people. Your perspective & genuineness in this life unfortunately is hard to find . I appreciate the show & production staff . Showing people the way, the truth & the light through GODS redemption power .

    Really good content
    I followed Sean‘s podcast for a few years and the content is always amazing.
  • Makayla Stark
    AMAZING
    This is the greatest podcast. I never used to like podcast but the SeanRyan Show changed that for me. It’s taught me so much as well as it’s a platform that provides informative that can be trusted. Love this show and am always so excited to see what’s next. Sean you need to get Tim Ballard on the show!
  • Dave Affolter
    Great podcast
    Shawn Ryan is the podcast I listen to more than any other in my library. Great guest list and Shawn does an excellent job hosting.
  • Paleo Paula
    Disappointing
    Shawn Ryan is obviously intelligent with many interesting life experiences. But his shows are too crude for me. He and his guests snicker at evil practices. I can get information without the added on filth and evil.
  • CATR6719
    Honest and real
    Real people sharing real life stories, giving glory to God.
  • just4 Me2enjoy
    Love
    I hate podcast. I think the majority are irrelevant. But this is the only one I will willingly listen to. The stories are riveting. It’s not just an impersonal edited transcript interview. It’s personal and relates to people on a humanistic level. I hope you are around for the long haul
  • Brado100
    Fantastic show seeking truth
    Just an incredible discussion with Steven Kwast covering topics from science, the future, innovation, philosophy, military readiness, political environment, geopolitics, energy, economic opportunity, cosmology, spirituality. Found the exposure to China’s efforts to harvest helium 3, the potential to harness solar energy in space, the mysteries of quantum physics, and how President Trump is scaling up America’s space program as part of the effort to restore our nation’s leadership for the future.
