  • 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 :/
