The Andrew Klavan Show - Podcast Rankings and reviews

You’d be hard pressed to find a more prescient and well informed pontificator out there today. The combo of humor and poignancy amounts to the best podcast out there for the sane and rational.

I really need to stop listening to this show when I’m at the gym. The show intros are so irreverent and on the nose that I risked dropping a barbell on myself while I was bench pressing because I laughed so much. Klavan is so intelligent and well spoken while delivering his political commentary in a genuinely entertaining way.

I listen to Klavan more consistently than any other political commentator. He is smart, funny, and his unique insights sync with my brain & heart. He makes the most sense and TELLS THE TRUTH no matter what his audience might want to hear. That’s why I trust him. He is a principled and spiritual man❤️

Listen to this podcast if you want to hear a great writer who does the podcast and how it sounds different from just a talker who does a podcast. his intro, segments show great writing and depth of intellect and satire. You will want to listen to them twice.

I don’t know how to revise an old review so I’m leaving a new one to balance it out. Once upon a time Drew was my favorite DW host. I honestly haven’t changed much since then and I don’t think that he has either but a slow buildup of problematic things and seemingly minor contradictions here and there led me to observe a now clear pattern that keeps me from enjoying this show as I once did. I won’t point it out as I don’t wish to ruin the show for those of you that still like him and he does occasionally provide an interesting insight or different perspective but he’s just become a little too fake and the once charming “I know best but also let me drop some self deprecating remark to still seem down to earth” attitude has gotten so old for me. My final straw was the recent interview with and promotion of author Maureen Callahans book. I’m ashamed to admit that I was suckered into buying it and reading the whole thing hoping it would end up being good because the self proclaimed art and culture guide of the DW praised it. I still love every other DW host and even though I find myself disagreeing with them fairly often too, it’s in an extremely different and non fundamental way as it is with Drew. Listen to it if you’ve got nothing else to play otherwise give someone else, especially another DW host, a chance!
