Don is a kick, but needs to back off the microphone. Host audio is overdriven and guest audio is too low in comparison. Foam pop guards are a good thing.

What a brilliant podcast, the Don of UFO podcasts. Mr Ecker sure does not take any BS and will soon tell you what and who are talking rubbish. He is brilliantly supported by Rich and it's always fun the gang call in during open lines, even if Ryan always sounds like he is calling from his...Read full review »

Show are sloppy and unprepared. Host must think his audience from 30 years ago are still listening because most time I have no idea who or what he's talking about and that's after he wastes 20-30 minutes talking about his dog or what his wife cooked for dinner. Not much UFO or relevant...Read full review »

people can't just talk about a subject without swearing so much.

I like Don Ecker. The man knows his stuff, except perhaps how to adjust the sound levels of his mixing desk. The last uploaded show with the always entertaining Kevin Randle was unlistenable because Randle was too low in the mix, and Eckers voice was absolutely booming. I hope this issue is...Read full review »

Love the subject matter, but the volume control is loud for the host and very low for the guests, making the whole thing unlistenable.

Great show guys but technically could be better! Don, please learn some mic control! Every time you raise your voice you distort and it makes for a poor listening experience. Get a good mic, read the manual on the optimum distance to sit from it, test the levels, and then go! Get a compressor...Read full review »

If you want to listen to the most important info from the past and present in ufology, this is the podcast. Don has been on the pulse from the beginning.

Talks crap

After reading reviews I gave it a try and I was an hour in before they even got to anything UFO related. It was just two guys talking about nonsense. I'll pass.
CharlieHustle16 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/26/15
One year later and there is no improvement on sound levels. It is the worst podcast I have heard for bad sound levels. While the phone guest is barely audible, Decker SCREAMS into the mic so that you can never just listen to the show without a hand on the volume control. It is all old UFO type...Read full review »

I tuned in expecting to hear ufo talk. I stead I was shocked to hear Islamaphobic ranting. These guys are the perfect consumers for Fox News. They even seem to be under the misconception that America did not react following 9/11. It's sad that these guys with their racist, bigoted views seem to...Read full review »

Don and Rich are the perfect radio partners. Fun show to listen to when the audio works. Some of the shows start out sounding over-modulated but ok, but then it starts breaking up like a bad AM transmission.

The Open Lines Friday episodes are the ones I download, although sometimes I snag an episode of the show in an earlier incarnation from the nineties. Since not much has changed in the world of ufology during the intervening decades the old shows are just as interesting as they were when new....Read full review »

Always enjoy. I am never bored and the topics are always current and up to date.

We'll support the overthrow of Gaddafi with our air power , yet not provide cover for our ambassador or delegates on the ground. Sorry Rich, deviating to Issa this Issa that, weak...just liken our current leadership, hence the UFO peeps stay low key ..love the Show Don !! Keep on keepin on !
menshacawa! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/22/14
I've enjoyed this one on or off over the years, and still do when Don has a new interview of a guest. But the Friday night Open Line shows have deteriorated into what I call "Dog Matters Radio" with way too much emphasis on Don and Rich's personal lives, and a paucity of information on Dark...Read full review »

Don Ecker the grassroots of ufology. Takes a no nonsense look at the field and all it has to offer. Often has riveting guest and actively encourages audience participation. Guaranteed to get you thinking, he prepares a feast for the mind

Really enjoy this show. Highly recommend this podcast if your into UFOs!
Acid Lab via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/02/13
This show has been my best friends on long road trips past midnight and on nights when I can't sleep. I've started notice that most paranormal shows are boring and basically are just rehashing stories from the Internet. Dark Matters always has great shows. Thanks.

Don is a great host and his guests offer a lot of interesting information. Listening to his show makes my work day go by faster. Keep up the good work Don
montemonte316 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/24/13
So this is my first time on this pod cast and I am now hooked. I do know a little about the author however I knew nothing about Don. What I love and hate about this podcast is there is not any conclusions. You are invited to read which to me is always a good thing and come up with your own theory.

This is hands down the best UFO related podcast online today. Don Ecker conducts the show with a level of professionalism and knowledge that is unparalleled today. Where as the Paracast suffers from endless commercials and an intolerable liberal political slant, DMR is drama free, full of...Read full review »

Like Don's show better than TheParacast. He has breaks but they don't seem as annoying. Great guests. Some of the shows are mislabelled re:guests but not a problem if you want to listen to them all anyway. Keep them coming!
Colbyspirit via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/26/13
Am having the same problem. Love the show but can't download on itunes.
Vicenzoid via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/10/12
Don is a classic and I love everything he does. Unfortunately, the past 6 or so shows he has uploaded are unable to play for some reason. I think the problem is with the website they are coming from? It keeps saying it can't be found!! Would love to listen to Don's gems!!!
