    Informative, Educational. Uses Logic
    I love the show. David is not afraid to tell the truth and take criticism. I do think sometimes the Trump dialogue excerpts can go a little too long and sometimes but great show that deserves 5 stars

    Keep fighting to report the facts.
    Thank you for standing strong against this corrupt authoritarian regime.

    Thank you for the truth!
    Love you David! Love listening to your podcast and YouTube channel! You are a treasure! The way you analyze everything is so amazing!

    So so…
    These days I listen to a mix of left, right and center, so I am just an observer rather than a fan. Any given day I may find 15% of Parkman’s arguments reasonable, another 15% in bad faith, and everything else dubious or boring. Something about his delivery sounds satirical, smug and performative. Obviously, I listen, so it is not complete garbage.

    In an insane world David Parkman is keeps me sane
    When you need insight during an administration,that wants to keep people uneducated. This is the best place to keep getting the correct information.
  • Opentowhatt?
    A beacon
    In todays tumultuous media David Pakman gets it right and openly admits when he doesn’t. This kind of information and transparency combined is hard to find but I find it here every single day.

    Shining light.
    David is fighting the good fight. Nobody holds the tyrant’s feet to the fire like he does.
  • lovefitpeace
    Measured and clear.
    David is very measured in his commentary and is very good at bringing facts that matter. I do think he separates himself from the realities of racism/xenophobia/misogyny/etc. I suppose that’s intentional but sometimes it feels a little watered down to avoid sounding too “woke”. Great work!

    I love the fact that David can take criticism. He is so smart, so well versed in so many subjects, yet humble, just an old, wise soul! Ps. I know incels love to call you unattractive, uninterested, but screw them! You are a smart, handsome, kind, and polite stud!
  • Can'tMakeThisUp

    David brings receipts. Verifiable. Thorough.

    Love the show - please add back the automatic transcript
    Love the show - please add back the automatic transcript. Often I in a spot where I can’t listen but I can read— and I love to skim the transcript to make sure I don’t miss anything.

    He’s the best out there!
    Found David Pakman a few months ago and have been an avid subscriber ever since. He is articulate, rational, informative and trustworthy. A lighthouse in a dark sea of misinformation.
  • Justhefaxt
    Informed analysis
    David was the first independent news video I started watching. He is well spoken truthful and very easy to listen to. I like to listen to his intelligent summaries of the news.
  • JMC-66
    Great Podcast
    This dude is by far the smartest guy in the room! He provides facts and backs it up. I have seen him debate and I’m just gob smacked at how knowledgeable he is. He provides unbiased information and tells things like they are. No sugar coating. He gives it to me straight. Love him!!
  • vonelliott
    The Voice We Need
    David is the voice of reason and evidence supported analysis in an age of obfuscation and misinformation. He cuts through the noise and disseminates current events into relatable and insightful commentary and does so with humor and hard truths. Highly recommend.
  • Stable genie
    Lies
    It’s amazing how he lies like he breathes and people believe him
  • shsysjt
    Partisan living in dream land
    Great to hear what partisans on both sides are making up, dems are out so according to Pakman it’s over, trumps got dementia, or hand cancer, or nothing he’s not a dr, buckle up for some straw man arguments and ad hoc attacks
  • Vman-90
    Good show to listen to
    He is informative and articulate. He is able to take complex issues and then convey them in a way that makes sense.
  • Cpatel05
    Leftists unite!
    Keep it up.
  • Aetarbox
    Great perspective
    I really like to hear David’s opinion and arguments on current events. I don’t always agree with his personal view, but as an independent voter, I appreciate listening to the arguments and evidence from his perspective. David provides a well researched analysis of facts and has the receipts to back him up. Also the Friday feedback mailbag filled with cult member’s run on sentences and swearing make me grateful every day for an open mind!
  • huynhnr
    Accurate and Sane
    David Pakman provides accurate news almost every time and sane takes on what’s going on in politics. Unlike some right-wing and left-wing shows, Pakman actually lets his audience know when he made a mistake.
  • BGentile12
    Still the best after 15 years
    I’ve been listening to David since 2010 when the show was called Midweek Politics. David consistently provides informative and critical political commentary in a media landscape where independent voices are sorely needed. I appreciate his calm, analytical delivery that helps me digest key political stories in a consistently anxiety provoking news cycle. There is no one I trust more to contextualize the news in an honest and thoughtful way.

  • KirbyAteEvery1
    Great place to get the news
    Honestly, Pakman is great at explaining complicated topics and news in digestible ways. He is a great communicator. I’ve learned a lot about American politics by listening to his show.
  • Cindermomo
    Long time Pakman supporter
    I so appreciate what Pakman brings to the independent media space. He’s grounded in principle and helps sift thru the sensational headlines to tell the story based on facts. Keep up the good work, SIR!
  • SareyLou
    The David Pakman Show is a favorite
    I found The David Pakman Show following the 2024 Election. I was tired of the MSM "both sides-ing" and "sane-washing Trump." Pakman provides & top notch political commentary and acknowledges his left/liberal bias. I find his commentary to be very informative, intelligent and without unnecessary inflammatory language or hyperbole. Pakman also promotes media literacy and critical thinking.
  • Ismanartist2
    Great show!
    Thank you David for all that you do I appreciate your clear concise voice on all that is going on today here in this country and abroad. I listen everyday
  • Cãst Awãy
    A great guy
    David is very down to earth and just a chill person. He’s very straight forward with facts, even if it’s bad. He finds information that’s often overlooked by the mainstream, and it’s really appreciative. He’s worth checking out
  • Vinnysoad1235
    Volume
    It seems like your podcast recording volume is a lot lower than other podcasts. Please try to increase your recording volume

    Favorite News Show
    Great place to consume the news for an hour a day, and still maintain my sanity - thanks David!
  • garsh2
    Love the show!
    I urge anyone who’s found this show for the first time to give it a try! David gives a level headed and insightful perspective on a wide variety of news. He takes the partisanship blinders off and criticizes the failures of both political parties. The one star reviews are MAGA trolls who only want to hear hosts kiss Trump’s rear end.
  • #Maverick310
    Keep it up 💙
    Thank you for spreading the word!
  • Morgan De La Cruz
    Love the Content!
    I’ve been watching the YouTube channel, and listening to the podcast for a little less than a year, but clearly have similar views on a political perspective, and will be a longtime listener, looking forward to receiving the “Echo Machine “ in a few weeks, we need more commentators like David and hopefully we can get the communities to listen and understand the actual truth, and dwindle the MAGA support machine, I’m sure they will see over the next couple years at everyone’s expense, I guess we will be collateral damage, and then repair everything in 4 years.
  • Boner-Champ
    Very informative
    David has a charismatic voice and a strong knowledge of words to help you understand the topics around politics. I listen to him everyday and will be ordering the book! Muchas gracias y buena suerte a vos!

    Pakman is a treasure
    He + his team are doing crucial work to inform and create independent media. I also love the Daily Bonus Show which has offbeat or lesser known news bites too

    David Pakman Show
    I love the show ! You break everything down so that even I can understand what’s going on in this crazy political climate we are in. I also appreciate that you inject just the right amount of humor to keep this from becoming morbidly serious. Thank you David 5 stars from me.😃
