Repetitive and lackluster.
To his credit, Dave Rubin provides his guests a good platform to state their views without any interruptions or obnoxious arguments. However, the quality of his guests and conversation are often uninspiring and tedious. The topics frequently revolve around the regressive left, new atheism, and the alternative right, and rarely expands from those talking points. In particular, his interview with Ben Shapiro was hard to listen to because Rubin never checked him, even as he tried to make fact based with incorrect and easily disproven "facts," although that may be part of his intention to give his guests free reign to speak. Overall, I really wanted to like this podcast, mostly because I like hearing viewpoints that force me to challenge, research, and reevaluate my own, but besides a few standout guests, this whole project just seems like the result of Dave Rubin's dislike of his former peers with The Young Turks, and not something that will yield a positive result.Read full review »

Dave pays lip service to free speech, but can't help himself when he's interviewing an authoritarian leftist SJW, he keeps saying he's a classic liberal...who likes Bernie sanders!!! What?. Pick and chose the good guests...don't bother subscribingRead full review »

Some great conversations here. I do sometimes wish Dave would push a little harder and put some slightly tougher questions to his guests. But these conversations are still head and shoulders above most of what's happening in podcastland.Read full review »

No podcast does a better job of giving a fair hearing to thoughts from across the political spectrum. Great show.
