  • Had to lower my rating :(

    I understand podcasts evolve and clearly the current content is working out well for Dave. But it does feel like almost entirely American politics these days. I loved listening to Dave for lighthearted pop culture content and I’m also not American so this stuff is also harder for me to follow. I used to be a daily listener but now it’s only every few days at most. Dave is great still I’m just sad the content has changed :/

  • Fair/ Even reporting

    I came for the Bachelor reporting, stayed for the Justice for Clayton mania, and remained around for the rest (gestures around wildly). Dave does a great job of reporting a wide variety of stories and he's very good at letting you know where his biases lie. Yes, he is liberal and is not shy about saying so- but he is also very intentional about his criticisms of both parties. I don't always agree with his stance or opinions on things, which I feel is important to hear sometimes (even if we agree... more

  • OG listener

    I was an OG listener from back in the day when you first got started! I love seeing how far you have come. It’s gotten far too political for me. I want to want to listen so badly but it’s not the feel good funny time it used to be, which is why I watched. The news is sad enough ,the world needs more fun! I will no longer be a listener but thanks for all the laughs ❤️

  • One of my go-to Podcasts

    I was turned on to The Rush Hour from my long time favourite podcaster, Reality Steve. My primary interest has been and always will be, all things Bachelor/Bachelorette content since I am a day oner. I have loved Dave Neal’s content. I am OBSESSED with anything and everything Clayton and Laura Owen’s related. Even though I am Canadian (thank goodness), I do enjoy Dave’s view on Trump because I couldn’t agree more. I will say that I have zero interest in the Baldoni/Lively case and Candace O... more
