DVK has become the epitome of a white apologist liberal. Hey Dan, it’s ok for people to be white and have a different opinion. It really is.
I look forward to it every week and hope it comes back to every weekday. Perfect companion to Pen Pals. Thanks Daniel and Rory, and also Rory and Daniel.
Calming hang with Dan Van Kirk as he discusses many topics and adds hilarious insights!
5 stars.
I love The Midnight Air! Five stars for soothing me to sleep like a lil baby. Huge fan of DVK and happy he shares his sense of humor and compassion with us. Loving the variety of content across episodes (a deep dive on the history of the American Diner?? Golden!!). Still get a dose of Pen Pals over on Patreon and you should too!
