Allison and Dana have literally saved my sanity! News with swearing! What could be better? They are my daily news source for the truth in these crazy times we are living in. I always look forward to the good trouble and good news segments too! I’ve learned so much from this podcast and the listeners!!

Nadia0760 · Aug 2026

Dissent is the engaged, committed citizen's patriotic duty to upholding the US Constitution and the endeavor of a more perfect Union. Allison, Dana, and (on Fridays) John embody this patriotic spirit. TDB is informative, galvanizing, and life affirming with good humor and well placed expletives. It's a must listen. 🗽⚖️ 🐾

Intrepid Inquirer · Jul 2026

The Daily Beans have been the main thing getting me through the last several years of national psychosis and the meltdown of corporate journalism. Must listen!

JamieM · Apr 2026

The Daily Beans was one of the first podcasts I started listening to in my despair after the last election. And I’m so very glad I found it (and through it.. the incomparable John Fugelsang:) It was exactly what I needed… well-researched and factual information, delivered in a witty and often entertaining way. AG and DG are like the two best friends I never knew I needed! I recently got to the point in my life where I could afford to subscribe to a few of my favorite podcasts and this was my first add! Well beyond worth it! Take care of yourself, and each other, friends!

Humble 3.14 · Apr 2026

"The podcast's release schedule often lags behind major news events. For example, their latest episode (September 12,2024) was recorded just a few hours before the first presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. Given that the debate took place on Tuesday, this means they were two days behind on such a significant news story. Compared to other daily news podcasts, this delay is unacceptable

Ldbg · Sep 2024

This is a great show for extremely progressive listeners, less so for anyone else. I support everyone’s first amendment right to voice their views, especially on their own podcast. With that said, perhaps the hosts should change their tagline: “vote blue over Q, and take everyone with you” by removing the part about taking everyone with you. You lost a socially liberal but moderate leaning Democrat, who used to listen. I cannot imagine this show appealing to anyone with even more moderate views, which likely includes the get-able voters in purple swing states. I applaud the hosts for creating a humorous podcast to entertain listeners who share their views (I’m sure they have legions of likeminded, avid fans). However, listeners with even slightly different views would probably enjoy another podcast.
