The Dave Ryan Show - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I’m 23 years old and have been listening to The Dave Ryan Show for what, about 8 years now? I remember driving to high school and crossing my fingers that War of the Roses would finish up before the second bell rang, hahaha. Love that I can listen outside of work now that it’s a podcast. I enjoy keeping up with Falen, Dave, Jenny & Tina - MN is so lucky to have such a great morning show and I always love and appreciate the creativity and entertainment you provide. Thank you for all the time spent making your show what it is!

I’ve listened to The Dave Ryan Show for YEARS and loved it until iHeart Media decided to let Steve-O go. The show is hard to listen to now. I like the people on the show in general but it’s not a good radio dynamic. It’s all women and Dave and the women are overpowering and can be quite obnoxious. I tried listening for a couple months after Steve-O was let go but I’ve stopped now. It makes me so sad because this show was SO good. Also, I believe most of their bits have actors and they aren’t authentic.

Dave, Jenny, and Falen have incredible chemistry. They are real, honest, funny, and relatable. I look forward to their show every day.

Although I live in the LA area and have never been to Minnesota, I stumbled across the Dave Ryan show originally on iHeart radio. I love the fresh take they have on current events and the hilarious bits they do. I always tell me fiancée that they feel like my friends which is strange but awkwardly true. I listen during my work day to help the time go by & this obsession has led me not to miss an episode in over 5 years! Also, if you enjoy this show, check out their after show podcast called “Minnesota Goodbye”, it’s fun to hear them cuss and talk how they would without the radio censorship.

My only request would be to please put the podcast bulked into one episode instead of by hour. While listening at work, once one is finished it doesn’t always play the “next hour” in chronological order for that day and I find myself falling “out of the loop” as the episodes go all over the place. Its hard to find the time to pick the correct next episode after one finishes between the craziness of work!

Keep up the great work everyone, this is my #1 podcast!!!!

I have listened to Dave Ryan in the morning my entire life. The school bus in the morning when the driver was feeling nice, on the IHeart Radio app when I went south for school, and most recently long traffic-filled rides to work. Since covid I haven’t been able to listen on the radio and these podcasts have been the place-filler I needed. I want to continue listening but the quality has gotten so horrible that I can’t even listen to them even when I am very interested in what is being discussed. Ads playing over talking… ads BLASTING in your earbuds at the beginning and end… not to mention you can obviously hear loud and clear that they despise recording these extra podcasts. Love the people on this show including Jenny and Tina, but I had to unsubscribe because of the recent downhill turns. It’s too hard to listen to. I want this to be constructive feedback that can be looked at and changed because I still would love to hear the happenings going on in all of their lives! Oh and BRING BACK STEVO instead of hiring another person. I’m thinking the bridge has been burned at this point though.

I’ve been listening to this show since I was a kid. Lots of the different personalities that have come through have had the ability to make you feel like they’re your friends, and I’ve loved most of them, including the current cast. I still enjoy listening for the most part, although I now live in a different state and only listen to the podcast every so often. They have just started adding ads to the podcast, which is pretty annoying, but I get that it may be necessary.

The problem, for me, has become Dave himself. As I’ve grown into adulthood, my opinions have changed, I’ve learned new things and opened up my mind. Dave is... pretty much opposite of that. He’s the epitome of a Boomer, one that thinks they know better because of their age. Dave has strong opinions about pretty much everything, including stuff he knows literally nothing about. You’d think after what I imagine to be hundreds of complaints about his insensitivity over the years, the guy might feel the need to broaden his horizons, but Dave doesn’t seem to think he’s capable of being wrong about anything, and largely brushes these things under the rug without apology or even much consideration, from what I can see. As a result, the show becomes more and more asinine as time goes on, and misinformation grows and grows. Nothing is thought through here, and especially in the current political climate, I just can’t continue to listen in good conscience. My 65-year-old mother and my little brother (who is trans) have both also dumped the show in recent years just because of Dave’s tendency to speak before he thinks. Defending cops in the wake of George Floyd’s death because he knows one cop that’s a nice person. Joking about the dangers of COVID by encouraging kids to go trick or treating and saying “how dangerous could it be?” literally less than thirty seconds after reading out CDC guidelines saying it’s one of the most dangerous activities you could do. I’m not even sure that second one WAS a joke. All of this happens while the co-workers hem and haw and seem like they want to say something... but they don’t. Maybe they don’t want to go against Dave, or maybe they’re not informed enough, either. I’m not sure.

I don’t expect the show to be perfect, or to express political views totally in line with my own (or at all, really). But this... this isn’t okay. I hope y’all can re-examine the seriousness of some of the topics you’re broaching and either leave them out or do a little research first. There’s no excuse for some of this stuff, even if it’s a “joke”. You’ve lost me, and I feel quite a few others aren’t far behind. See ya.
