Crashing Out with Philip DeFranco and Alex Pearlman - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Philip DeFranco and Alex Pearlman hit that perfect balance of humor, frustration, and insight that makes politics feel both urgent and human. This episode on the government shutdown cuts through the noise with clear explanations, smart commentary, and just enough chaos to keep you laughing through the doom. Their chemistry is fantastic, the pacing is tight, and every topic—from the economy to corruption—feels grounded in real curiosity and care. If you want to stay informed without feeling overwhelmed, this is the show to follow.

This is one of the only podcasts that I look forward to each week. I’ve been trying to keep the amount of news I consume at a healthy level (I want to stay informed but would also prefer to avoid the feeling of constant impending doom) and this podcast has become part of my regular rotation. I hope that it continues to be successful so that we can keep getting more episodes!

What a time to be alive! At least this podcast duo can help me thru it anyway. I am a Pearlmania fan and my sister is a Philly D fan. It’s like they recorded our conversations. Which they probably already have, but this is such a great podcast to dissect the world we live in with the perfect amount of reaction and explanation. I don’t know how else to describe this besides exactly what I needed. 12/10

I’ve watched every episode so far (5) Love this podcast, huge fan of Phil andAlex!!! These guys are great, their conversations are pretty interesting. Alex is a little more outspoken and sometimes takes the lead, but Phil has a lot of great insights. Their banter and humor is something I look forward to seeing every week. This Podcast is a lot of fun!!!!!
