“The name of the show tells you all you need to know. Most of the detractors who have posted about how bad it is have no real clue as to the nature of the program. It is called Armed American RADIO. This a podcast recording of a radio program, so by its nature it is filled with commercial breaks on regular schedules, just like on the real radio. It is a podcast second. Armed American Radio is filled with great information about the second amenment to the U.S. Constitution. It has many high quality guests who know their subject. Journalists, gun writers, activists and trainers. You can quickly surmise that the U.S. Concealed Carry Association is the main sponsor and being such they get mentioned a lot. Since my job precludes me listening to the live radio program on my local station I can catch up the next day. Since originally writing this review they have added a weekday program not yet heard in my area. Now you can get 8 hours of programming on 2A issues.
I have read almost every comment about this show written here and agree with many of the comments. Yes, it is populated by commercials. Look back at that thing about "radio." Programs have to sell advertising in order to pay the bills and stay on. We get so used to instant gratification and having most opf our podcasts free that we forget this fact.
Sound quality: Someone mentiomed the poor sound quality. That was an old post and I hear nothing but high quality sound. There are a few phone calls by guests where you know they are on a cell phone and the quality on their end is not as great, but most of the sound is without problems.
Host: This is NOT a show for the anti-gun, gun grabber. And Mark Walters, the host does not care what you think if you hate the 2A. They are a syndicated radio program and they do not take calls. Why? They say up front, "The mainstream media has all the say they want and we don't want to waste your time listening to them here, " (on the show). If you hate the 2nd Amendment, move on. If you are open to what "the other side" thinks, then stick around as you may learn something. He promotes himself a little too much sometimes. That can be off putting to some. I just tune that out until he moves on. There is the back and forth conversation by Mark and his studio engineer, Sean, a.k.a. Seanto (think Tonto). I find that part enjoyable. Some others, not so much.
Guests: Here is where the program really shines. He has top notch guests as regulars and semi-regulars who actually know what they are talking about. Self defense experts Rob Pincus and Massad Ayoob, writer David Codrea, and activist Alan Gottlieb from the Second Amendment Foundation.
Off topic complaint of iTunes: My main complaint is that the automatic download appears to be delayed by iTunes to your streaming device. iTunes delay can be several days after their main "monster show" on Sundays. That should show up every Monday morning, but it can come on a Wednesday or Thursday far too often. When I first started listening the show would download early Monday morning after the Sunday night live broadcast. It is no secret that the Apple execs. hate the 2nd Amendment. I suspect something nefarious here. No, I am not some conspiracy theorist, but it makes you wonder.”Read full review »

“I appreciate the show and what Mark does for the 2nd amendment. At times it is very informative and entertaining. However, the show is about 55% commercials. Even after the commercial breaks are over Mark continues to pitch what they were selling. Other than him constantly spitting a Ted Nugent...”Read full review »

“I really enjoy this show... This is not a show for the weak kneed hoplophobes who should rather listen to Finestein or Schumer's antigun rants. Great guests.. as the motor city madman Ted Nugent says "armed american radio.. what a great name for a radio show"!”Read full review »
