Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 102 ratings
  • 5 stars but…

    Even though I share the p.o.v of DSR Daily I believe that David Rothkopf is detrimental to its message. He strikes me as smarmy and often patronizing to his co-hosts—whom he treats as sidekicks. I much prefer the Daily Blast episodes hosted by Greg Sargent.

  • Was better before

    Liked much better when it was a daily news bulletin without the unnecessary Rothkopf opinions and monitoring - I get that from other podcasts, so it isnt that i don't appreciate his pov, but why not leave this format alone?

  • Better than I expected-Great daily summary

    I first found DSR after the Ukraine invasion. And I didn’t expect it to be such a great news aggregator, thinking it was limited in focus. But I was wrong. It’s broadly focused. And does an excellent job of gathering and disseminating daily summaries that are professional and informative.

    If I were forced to give up other news sources keeping this single show would be my choice.

    Highly recommended.
