  • Dana Podcast

    The podcast has become a daily Dana’s personal life on the show. The show is now boring since Dana takes over most of the show. The show needs more news stories to encourage listener interaction.

    I enjoy listening most of the time but I feel these 3 are very privileged people who have become very far left.

  • Shake it up

    Used to listen to this show a lot more. Over the years, to me, it feels like Dana’s pretentiousness has taken over the show. Parks can carry intellectual political conversations, but over the years that has been buried quite a bit.

  • Things have changed…

    Was much better when Dana and Parks were opposing politically— thy would challenge each other’s thinking. Now they just agree on everything with current events. We know Scott hates Trump and it has really changed his commentary. Dana is the same.

  • Show Had Changed

    The show has now become too much about their personal lives. There are not enough stories so listener calls and texts for comments makes the show boring. The run do not walk on streaming services has become too much. The show needs to get back to stories and listener interaction.
