The Oath with Chuck Rosenberg

To Amazon Music Podcast: The Oath with Chuck Rosenberg

Our Editor’s Take

The Oath with Chuck Rosenberg is a podcast about public service. Master of his craft, with a background as impressive as his guests, host Chuck Rosenberg captivates audiences. What to expect from a longtime MSNBC contributor, former US attorney, and senior FBI official as host? Listeners get to know the inner workings of high-level public servants. Heroes who took the oath to protect and support the US Constitution tell it all. The guest list itself is impressive. Each podcast is inspiring.

Rosenberg knows precisely where he’s going with each question. He engages listeners and interviewees alike with a soft voice and meditative pace. That makes it easier, but this isn’t easy listening. The Oath with Chuck Rosenberg has sometimes-personal conversations. Listeners may wonder: “Wait, can he ask that?” But biographical background knowledge earns Rosenberg the respect to ask the tough questions.

Rosenberg interviews Heather “Lucky” Penney. She was one of the first women to pilot an F-16, but her mission during 9/11 and her ability to rise to it are far more stunning. It called for the sort of sacrifice that makes the rest of her story a must-listen.

The Oath with Chuck Rosenberg hosts guests from many professions. They further inform how to protect the Constitution. Rosenberg gains insights with National Park Service Director Jon Jarvis. He brings on teachers, judges, and ambassadors. He talks with an astronaut, a former surgeon general, and a secretary of defense. The host also gets answers and insights from doctors, ambassadors, and more.

Listeners should concentrate to hear the delight in guests’ voices. It’s often as if the guest hadn’t thought about their experience in such a way until talking with Rosenberg. The Oath is a fascinating listen.
