  • Meh - too many ads

    UPDATE: i’ve been listening to this for quite a few months now and I’ve come to the point where I am moving on. In the first 10 minutes of today’s episode, he spent about a minute or a minute and a half talking about one news item and everything else was ads an introduction. so being generous, there was probably three minutes of content and seven minutes of ads. Nothing of any real substance that I hadn’t already heard elsewhere. I gave it a good try and now I am kind of done. I’m gonna stick to... more

  • Informative yes… BUT

    The PBD can be a reliable source of information for foreign and international news in a non partisan manner. But the host sprinkles in his own domestic conservative views. Don’t really need that to start my day.

  • Ditched for The Wright Report

    Listened for a while, long enough to determine you’re no Bryan Dean Wright. He’s the guy who formerly hosted this show but left to start his own podcast: The Wright Report.

  • Jason Jay Smart

    Fantastic podcast mostly but unfortunately every once and awhile a guest comes along like Jason Jay Smart. Who is anything but smart. Gets all his information from Russian media that he claims is propaganda aka fake news. Hmmm who’s the moron. Maybe the President would rather give peace a chance. Keep up the great podcast Mike, maybe stroke Mr Smart off your guest list though
