4.6 out of 5 stars from 2.9k ratings
  • Gone too political

    Used to love Dave for his Bachelor content and Pop Culture stuff and the Clayton and Laura case, but since he’s gone all political I’ve had to unfollow and dislike what the podcast has become!

  • Can’t take any more

    I used to be a daily follower and now I don’t even bother to turn it on based off the title because it’s one long trump cry fest. I’d give 0 stars if I could

  • Creative content!

    Used to love all the pop culture and bachelor content. Has become more of a political commentary podcast now so don’t listen everyday like I used to.

  • 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 :/
