“Just started listening to your podcast, after hearing you on The Jordan Harbinger Show. Been a Christian all my life (I’m 41), but last several years the cracks started forming in my mind about the Bible, how churches are run, why we believe certain things and never having satisfying answers even...”Read full review »

“You are so biased to the Democratic Party it’s nerve wracking. Yes you are right the GOP is a menace to our future as human beings, but the democrats are no saints. My goodness please take some time to point out the flaws of the democrats that are in office. Yes we get it Trump was the worst...”Read full review »

“Thanks for sharing your logic. I was raised in a cult, too put it simply. I always thought I was atheist but your voice has helped organize/solidify my thinking.”

“I’m a long-time listener who has found this show to be a rare place in our crazy world where you can hear nuanced, civilized and productive conversation between people who disagree. For 12 years, David has been a patient and diplomatic interviewer, who’s knowledge and cool-headed skepticism has...”Read full review »

“I like the idea of the content but it’s very hard to listen to. There is a lot of talking in circles. The Pastor wouldn’t get to the point quick enough. He said words to fill up time. So many disclosures in every statement he made. Just get to the point!”

“I especially loved the episodes with his mom. DCS educates you on how to think critically and discuss and debate deep issues with a lot of passion but minus getting destructive.”

“I think Javier is an honest interlocutor however I find most of his arguments and rebuttals are very surface level, not critically thought, and feel like talking points more than honest responses rooted in understanding of the conversation being had. Just me.”

“I’ve been listening to this podcast for a few years. I’m not a big fan of drawn out debates but there’s something about David’s approach that really helps the non-intellectual break down ideas. Helps that he’s funny too.”

“I was a paid subscriber for years.

What a...”Read full review »

When he ventures off into culture, politics, and especially health issues including vaccines, I find that his research is woefully lacking and his opinions reflect serious bias. He is quite prepared to accept views and data...”Read full review »

“I engaged with David about politics. He asked me for specifics. I gave them ( measured and honest) and he blocked me without responding. Got to say. For someone who claims to follow truth , he seems to be a hypocritical liar that lives his own echo chamber.”

“David is exactly like the people that he mocks. He is 100% set in his ideas and only seeks to belittle his opposing “guests”. If you’re a liberal who is looking for a good hard pat on the back for doing nothing and actually doing harm this is your show. #Athiestsforreality”
