The Joe Pags Show - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I’ve been following him on Instagram for a long time, but just couldn’t find the show on Apple Podcasts. Looked again today, and I found it! What I’m really going to love is that it’s broken down into small segments. It’s getting really hard to listen to all of these podcasts that are an hour or more. I’d like the digestible format!

When Rush passed I was surprised how much that impacted my life. Then I found Joe. He and his staff put a magnificent show and I enjoy all their hard work. I’m a fan!

"The Joe Pags Show" represents much that's wrong with modern talk radio. Host Joe Pagliarulo delivers a predictable stream of right-wing talking points with very little nuance and too much unsubstantiated critical opinion. The show suffers from an echo chamber effect where opposing viewpoints are rarely given fair consideration.

Pagliarulo's interview style is particularly frustrating - he frequently interrupts callers who challenge his perspective while giving nearly unlimited airtime to those who reinforce his views. This creates a one-sided conversation that does zero to advance meaningful dialogue.

The program's fact-checking standards leave much to be desired. Claims are often presented without proper context or valid verification, leaving listeners with an incomplete or distorted view of complex issues. When the person claimed as a source gives no valid verification themselves that is the definition of an “invalid source”. When corrections are made, they're typically buried or downplayed.

Perhaps most disappointing is the show's tendency to demonize political opponents in a juvenile manner rather than engaging with their ideas substantively. This contributes to the poisonous partisan divide in American discourse rather than working to bridge differences.

Listeners seeking thoughtful conservative commentary would be better served elsewhere. The Joe Pags Show prioritizes outrage and confirmation bias over thoughtful analysis and intellectual honesty.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I don’t believe Joe realizes how his demeanor has changed since being dropped by KAOI, but he’s angry, short with callers, & cuts off quests during midsentances while they attempt to answer his questions. He’s self promoting more than ever , it’s sad to see a fun & informative individual turn into something so bitter. I wish him the best but I’m out, it’s too depressing
