Dave, You are a breath of fresh air as you REPORT current events and analysis with a warm and welcoming tone and ease, providing crucial context and history along with common sense, educated optimism, and of course, humor too.

I’ve listened to Dave for years. He consistently delivers great coverage, excellent points, and good humor. Dave isn’t like other podcasters who try to capture audiences with rage bait content. Great guy delivering great content.

MadEarthStudio · Apr 2026

Dave Rubin is “smart listening”, a term I use that you get smarter listening to him. He is informative, entertaining, and truthful. Mr. Rubin is one of the journalists I seek out daily for knowledge on current events. I highly recommend this “smart listening”.

Robeta · Dec 2024

I tune in for the conversations that challenge mainstream narratives, though at times it feels more like opinion-sharing than thorough fact-checking. I think it’s on all of us to verify what we hear and sift out rumors or conspiracies. If you’re like me and value accuracy, it’s worth double-checking the claims for yourself.

Hugh Jafro · Nov 2024

I’m finding an increasingly difficult to listen to Dave Rubin’s podcasts, not because the content is not interesting, but because the amount of ads, and not only ads but then a minute later you’ve got MORE ads cutting into the middle of sentences. I find that I end up listening to about halfway through before I can’t listen to any more advertisements and stop them, or completely don’t listen because it’s just too much!
