The Al Franken Podcast

ASF Productions

A five-time Emmy winning SNL comedy writer/producer, joins a four-time #1 NYT bestselling author, a three-time highest-rated national progressive radio host, a two-time Grammy winning artist, and a former US Senator. So, it gets a little crowded in the booth when Al talks public policy and sometimes political comedy with notable guests. Think “The Daily” without the resources of the NYTimes.

  • What to do?

    First, let me say how much I enjoy your podcast. I have listened to many podcasts and read articles analyzing what the Democrats did wrong in the last election. What I am not finding are any suggestions about how to communicate with voters in a way that reaches them. Apparently they don’t read newspapers. Speaking on the floor of the house or the Senate means nothing. Biden should have put up a giant sign at the site of every proposed project saying that this project is going to add X number of ... more

    Post election with the Atlantic blowhard-

    Thoroughly disgusted, Mr. Franken with your willingness to criticize the Democratic election efforts after the game is over.

    I can’t believe how agreeable with your guest on the show this week.

    Why don’t you suggest ways that the Democrats can overcome the lies and the untruths of their opponents Instead of blaming them for being honest brokers of fact?

    I thought you were better than this.

  • George Packer’s opinions about the Democratic are just that.

    Winning voters by lying to them & dredging up hatred & resentment is not something Democrats should ever embrace.

  • Al Franken podcast

    As an exchange student in Roseville, I appreciate this podcast every week.

    I had a remark regarding latest edition with Anne Applebaum. There seemed to be some confusion about D Trump’s posting with a comment about Syria. To me it seems likely that the last sentences in all caps was directed to Putin, promising that he needed not to worry about the US getting involved. Finally it seems Putin hightailed it out anyway.
