DrDK2Polling Rerun Missed OpportunityWhen you re-run an episode like this discussion on polling before the 2022 midterms, it would be so much more valuable to then update it with a 10-15 minute discussion through the lens of the actual 2022 voting results. A sad missed opportunity to really make it relevant.

Sizemore24Democrats State RadioThese people are nothing but democrat talking heads … you can find more intelligent conversations with a wooden door. Ukraine good USA bad is what these morons preach . They turn a blind eye to the blatant corruption of the biden crime family and blather on about how big of a criminal that Donald J Trump is. The reason they hate Donald J. Trump is because when he wins the 2024 election he will cancel their podcast because the deep state with cease to exist ( it really does exist no matter much you idiot democrats want to say that it doesn’t )

crap nicDSR - Trump town hallIs there any conceivable chance that licht (CNN CEO) staged this Townhall with Trump supporters so he would be as bad as he could be, thus revealing his horrible self?

newgal2Deep State RadioGood podcast. Often poor audio. If you’re going to be a podcast, you should have decent audio. Downgraded a star for that.

Lackland CowgirlExcellentAny podcast that has the opening bars of “Midnight Rider” has to be great!

SlanebrainDaily Brief - deadpan and tough listeningI have but rarely heard a voice less suited to audio presentations than the voice doing DSR DAILY BRIEF. DB’s content, like all the rest of DEEP STATE’s content is great! But for mercy’s sake, get another voice, please.

Briseis27NevermindI have heard smart analysis here, but taking my leave after listening to shockingly facile analysis of the way that the”left” (by this they mean Greenwald apparently — Oy, Rosa —srsly?) has come to mimic the trumpist right on Russia - this is dangerously wrong — it is shockingly myopic as well, because many throughout the world are deeply concerned about escalating the war— not because we “love Russia and hate Murica” but because this war is being escalated by the same insulated and naive coalition of hawks and neocons that brought us into disastrous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan — and that coalition does not represent “America” any better than Trump does. And the Ukrainians are not the only peoples waging a valiant struggle, though their struggle is indeed our responsibility— we must handle that responsibly. The globe cannot be reduced to the views of people in UK, US, and those that we select as interlocutors because they say things that mirror our own fantasies or preoccupations. Other people matter and they do not fit your cookie cutter vision of the world — and there are other, better, podcasts to be found…

Minder01Monetized push ruins showI appreciate DSR trying to make a buck, but there is the process of over monetizing your product. The last episode I listened to, they cut it off in mid sentence to play an ad. The show should be monetized because it is a fantastic product, but the middle ad needs better placement.

Pablo PuppyFeb 24, 2022‘Russia is not China in terms of its economy”. This statement should make us all think. Maybe pay a little more for things, and bring chip manufacturing home completely, before China puts the screws to us. They will.
-
swwpcAfrica SummitGood show. While it is right to focus on China, the real problem for Africa is the role of France in Francophone Africa. US government does not really focus on that aspect.

cappuccinoalmcocovegan1Great show⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ five-star show

drylwlsnAwful sounding Text-to-Speech in Nov. 21 2022 episode.As DSR listener from Day 1, I found the banter, personality and opinions of the participants 75 percent of the podcast. With the info being the remaining 25%. Episode #185 November 21, 2022, was all (at least all of what I listened to) multiple computer voices of very flat affect Text-to-Speech. If I wanted to hear an A.I. read the news, I’d listen to my toaster go on and on about the differences between rye and wheat.

vieille dameRecently Subscribed and I love it!After hearing David interviewed on amicus by Dahlia Lithwick, I went straight to sign up to your podcast. Very thoughtful and clear. This can join us all together: these are things we should all be thinking about and discussing together.

JGLeviLove the podcast.So much that I joined. With all due respect to her, however, Rosa Brooks is out of place on these panels.

TressaMNKinda boring.This thing makes me fall asleep.

Larryfl1DSR reportsThe podcast’s hosts Rosa Brooks of Georgetown University and David Rothkopf are excellent. They usually talk with Ed Luce of the Financial Times and David Sanger of the New York Times. The group discuss current topics in the world and United States, domestic affairs with the depth unavailable anywhere else. A topic cable news may spend 10 minutes on they spend an hour. Their knowledge and insights are something I look forward to listening to every week and never miss an episode.

uhoh7Bait and switch…Successful insiders torture us with uninformed humor promising insight to come….for those who pay.

PohokanoBeware trying to pay for thisInteresting enough I thought I might chip in to become a “member” and get the additional content, and help the cause. Although the signup instructs to pay any amount you think appropriate, it changes a lesser amount entered back to the $5 they first suggest. (Limited income here.) Did this several times; no warning, nothing. This is misleading at best and essentially dishonest. An organization that would do this suggests their substantive content be viewed with suspicion, too.
-
Bpm98Great source of realityAbsolutely love this podcast. Intelligent discussion of today issues from foremost experts. Haven’t heard a bad episode after listening to 40+ episodes.
-
podsrhealthiernnewsDeep State RadioIt’s filled with knowledgeable commentators and humorous too. I’ve been a member for 6 months or so. Alongside the Times “Daily” it is my go to place for what’s happening.
-
jblivingOnce Great Show with Fatal Business Model ProblemThis was once one of the best news and information shows anywhere. Then they started playing half of a conversation and holding the rest hostage behind a pay wall. Even that wouldn’t be so bad if it were possible simultaneously to consume podcasts the way you want to AND pay them. Instead, they expect you to stop what you are doing, open a browser, enter a password and listen to a podcast on a webpage! It would be funny if it weren’t so pathetic.

midwestBlue3.10 podexcellent discussions regarding Ukraine. today’s was very informational as well with the guests you had on. thank you

invent a nicknameBad AudioAudio quality is so bad I rarely listen, even though I would like to. *** speaker phones or other low quality mikes.***
-
Diego7568Definitely a Deep State PodcastJust another podcast pushing deep state talking points in foreign policy. If you like deep state talking points and consuming fluoride this one is for you.

CaityCAbout ready to unsubscribeSo I’ve listened to this podcast since 2017, according to my device, and have mostly found it quite interesting. Though at times horrific audio & production values. But no, I don’t buy lattes & can’t send everyone $5 a month. My assumption was that you all use your pod work to show that you have a fan base & to get book & article deals & paid speaking gigs. The half podcast thing is just 😑 & tbh is starting to make me dislike you. Maybe try what Lawfare does — have ads & an ad free feed for Patreon fans? Consider asking for far less as a base & asking for far more from those that can afford it. Ask your well-paid friends. You all have sooooo much more money & income security than I do.

LoganfoolCould be more interesting.Too much unnecessary information and not enough sticking to the subject. I think podcasts were meant to be a little bit more entertaining as well as informative.

sfncarOmicron whingingGood grief, stop whinging about the Democrats/administration/CDC as if that’s going to do any good. Are you working for the GOP? That’s what you sound like. If you want something to say about what they’re doing then go get a job in the administration. Otherwise shut up! Yelling because they aren’t doing what you think they should is stupid, not to mention a waste of my time.

Lss659Intelligent conversationSmart people and great conversations. Highly recommend this! 10/26/21: this is an excellent podcast, but the recent announcement that only a portion of the episode will be available unless you subscribe is disappointing. Every day some company wants me to sign up for for exclusive newsletters, podcast content, streaming service for tv shows & movies. If I signed up for only a few, I’d still end up spending $30-50/month for what is often news or commentary that’s irrelevant in a few days. As a retiree my funds are limited, so sorry, no subscription from me

DavidStirlingI need more Mondays!Can we get Kori, Rosa and Ed more than once a week??? I look forward to their perspectives more than any other media source. Oh yeah, and that guy who hosts regularly is pretty good too.

vw10Extremist propaganda, hypocrisy, liesWould be laughable, if it wasn’t so destructive. Group of completely unaccountable, unaware people, engaging in, and frankly perpetuating, lies. PLEASE STOP LYING.
-
G. PossumAbsolutely and Compellingly Superior!In listening to my first DSR podcast, “America’s 2000 Yard Stare”, I was completely taken with the clarity —moral and intellectual clarity— of the conversation. I followed up immediately by listening to the Afghanistan Papers conversation, and with it one of the most knowledge-based interviews I’ve ever heard on any subject. I’d give Deep State Radio 10 stars if Apple would let me!

Laurie715NuancedIn a word of black and white, this podcast and David especially, explains things in shades of gray. Fantastic pod!!!

Peter DoucheBlack Lives MatterStop trying to say All Lives Matter is the only thing that matters!!!

LostRiver5Audio QualityPlease improve audio quality for Luce, but this is trivial when weighed against the value and quality of this dialogue. Grateful for Rothkopf’s balanced, fact and history based analysis.

HappiestDevilGarbageTo the “experts”, small e, what we are seeing is the vaccinated are spreading the disease, according to your corrected science. Give my vaccine to someone who needs it, if it’s so good lol. I don’t want a “vaccine that enables me to spread the virus, get it??? Stop spreading garbage, my body my choice, let me die in peace fools. Again more garbage. Information spread to you by ignorant people.

Diplo DaveGreat original show diluted by B-grade spin-offsThis show is absolutely at its best with the original foreign policy-focused lineup on Mondays, when some combination of Kori Schake, Rosa Brooks, David Sanger and Ed Luce appears. The conversation flows and there is terrific chemistry between the participants. David Rothkopf has tried to expand from this original podcast to create the “DSR Network“ brand, with mixed results. There are one-off shows with one-on-one conversations foreign policy experts, which are interesting in parts, but this listener loses interest eventually if it goes on for 45 minutes or more. Less successful is the “Spy Talk” show, which is shoehorned in on Thursdays. It doesn’t quite fit with the brand and feels forced and foisted on listeners. Rothkopf has a history of trying to force new shows on the network, whether it’s his sister’s cooking show, or that Hollywood politics show a couple of years ago. None of it has worked as well as the original, which was really lightning in a bottle, and devilishly difficult to replicate. Which brings me to the Friday national security/ coronavirus/ threat to democracy show. This show doesn’t hold up as well as the Monday show, and I fault the personalities involved. Kavita Patel is excellent and shines brightly. But Ryan Goodman is too dry of a presence to carry this show. He barely participates and says little that is memorable. I get that he is super smart, but perhaps this medium is not suited to his talents. In short, the Monday podcast rocks. The rest could benefit from some paring down. 5 stars for Monday, two for the other shows.

wakefootProgressive Poisonous excrementHey Swalwell, why don’t you tell us about the Chinese spy you were screwing ? Why aren’t you in prison? How much classified info have you revealed to the CCP? You’re a disgrace. Also please keep your shirt on.

Christine_on_16Love the conversation but for the love of heaven,you deserve a professional sound mixer.

drums4life24Hilarious satire podcast (like Colbert Report)They play hilarious characters that display the mind of America today! Unfortunately it sounds like it was recorded on VHS! Hopefully CNN will pick them up!
