The Al Franken Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Al gets the best guests and elicits from them insights into current events and history. I laugh, I weep, but I leave each episode better informed and prepared to fight for our democratic republic.

Loved today’s podcast (7/20/24). Molly’s take on Project 2025 offered need-to-know information. A crypto currency economy? Yikes! Mark’s and Molly’s civil give-and-take on the convention was insightful and reminds me of the respectful approach to debate that I taught for so many years. And I’ll bet, in person, you didn’t see any Matt Gates raised eyebrows or Trump duck lips. Mark and Molly each presented an honest and convincing point of view and left the listener to decide for him/herself.

Al, Mark and Ari had the most principled and intelligent discussion about politics and the Supreme Court. I particularly enjoyed the examination of what is happening behind the scene in voter suppression and how the Court participates.

Keep up the great work Al.

I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time. Al is a national treasure and his Jewish curiosity about evangelism is so pure. And then Tim’s earnest responses are equally pure. Great pod.

Hello I really enjoy your podcast and it is interesting and provocative with great guests. My only complaint is the repetitious lame joke on every podcast that this is really good….for a change. This is not funny and is boorish and insulting much akin to some of the old David Letterman repetitive jokes where he kept repeating a punch line even if there was no laughter! (I.e. academy award show). Please stop so I can continue to enjoy your interesting podcast! Ray M
