What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I listen to several podcasts while commuting or walking the dog. Dave’s podcast is my FAVORITE. I love his speaking about everything, from celebrity to political news to global issues. He talks about issues that I don’t want to be disappeared, and issues that are fun!!

molyDay · Jul 2025

Dave shares entertainment news in a concise and enjoyable fashion. I look forward to listening every day. He doesn’t ramble on, nor does he take his listeners on unnecessary tangents - I really appreciate that. Thank you! Hey Dave! Have you listened to The 13th Step? Some similarities to your LO situation.

Ne2pnw · Jun 2025

Dave does w great job sharing the facts and breaking down stories to get to the point. It’s my go to podcast. Everyone needs to listen!

kendyjoy2488 · Jun 2025

I like how you deliver a mix of pop culture and global issues. Keep up the good work. I don’t think you have become too political, but rather a voice reminding folks that we cannot lose our moral compass when it comes to humanity. 👏🏻

☮️🌸 · Jun 2025

Dave likes to call himself a feminist but his show centers on personally attacking female celebrities like Blake Lively, Taylor Swift and others. I guess Dave has a problem with rich strong women. Regarding the Blake Lively Justin Baldoni lawsuit, Dave has personally attacked Lively for months and has also attacked her right to sue for harassment. He attacks the laws that protect women who sue for harassment like 47.1 in California. It seems he just doesn’t like women. I used to watch his show for the humor but the misogyny is too much. He’s not funny either and his old jokes don’t work. He better go back to covering the Bachelor and making fun of the women on that show. But I won’t be watching.

It Ends With Justice · Jun 2025

Came for the pop culture, leaving because of the politics (and we don’t differ in political beliefs). I’m sad because you were my favorite reality/pop culture podcast and you delivered TWICE a day. I appreciated the hustle. Sad to leave-wish you’d see that no one comes to your podcast to hear your political beliefs.
