So glad David Frum has a podcast. Always enlightening and always hits the mark.

I hear Dems, Dem consultants and Podcasts rattle on endlessly as to the shortcomings of the Dem brand and why they got smoke checked in 2016, almost lost 2020 and prison rape in 2024, or why their base left them for a conman. They have all sorts of theorems to describe their catastrophe. There is but one theorem that never crosses their mind or comes out of their mouth: Maybe there are just more MAGAs than Dems. 2 of the last 3 elections would seem to point to this possibility. The fact that our World, via nature, produces more Deplorables than halfway decent people should surprise nobody that's spent more than 15-minutes out in that World, yet my theorem remains unspoken. You'll find a Dem using the "N" word before you ever find one spouting my theorem. This seems a reasonable theorem in need of further analysis. I think MAGA will do much better in the mid-terms than the Dems think possible; besides Trump will never allow the election to go forward if polls show the MAGAs losing the House. All is lost. Get out while you can.

No hype, realistic and well-reasoned. Thoughtful and thought-provoking.

Great show, from the theme music to the wonderful David Frum and his guests. It’s always a new discovery from an exhausting onslaught of current political chaos. Thank you!

David as the first time listener I really enjoyed the show that I have just listened to and agree with you that out social democracy’s capacity to change takes a long time My one criticism is the commercial played about gambling. If you have any power to change that I would appreciate it thanks Peter.

Every word perfectly calibrated, every thought perfectly worked through. It is such a delight to listen to this man. I can’t recommend this pod highly enough.

He is so erudite and so passionate about important things. He manages to bring his prodigious intellect and breadth of knowledge to bear on complex issues in ways that make you realize they really matter and can be clarified. I was exposed to David in the Bulwark but this is another level of analysis. Thank you David for this great gift.

This is a must listen for me each week. David is thoughtful, articulate and succinct in his commentary and questions, focusing on the most important current events. His guests are leaders in their fields and add to my knowledge of important issues that are impacting all of us today. Well done!

We are so lucky to have the voice of David Frum at this moment in history

Mr. Frum provides the polar opposite of the “kick ‘em in the nuts” flood of reactionary political podcasts. He is gifted in his ability to build an argument from the foundation up, explaining it engagingly and memorably. Thank you David, for your excellent work in service of a better future.

Thoughtful discussion of important issues. Highly recommended.

I have been reading and listening to Mr. Frum for many years and got excited for this podcast: it does not disappoint!This is excellent commentary, thoughtful discussion, and essential listening for what we are living through. Thank you, Mr. Frum!

Rare, insightful, informed, and hyper-intelligent critical thinking at its finest. Frum is to conservative theory as Ezra is to the progressive approach. Finally the political perspective internet has the counterpoints it desperately needs in place at this pivotal moment in North American history. Bravo, Team Frum!

Outstanding. David is a prescient public intellectual and commentator with keen political sense and knowledge.

Factual, succinct, unbiased. Listening to this inaugural episode felt like a draft of spring water in the desert. Thank you David Frum.

This is an excellent addition to the world of podcasts. David Frum is a calm, intelligent voice in a sea of anger and uncertainty.

Russia was about to go under but then for Trump Congress lead by the new speaker Mike Johnson stopped Ukraine support Let’s hope podcasters remember this

I am enjoying this new podcast from David Frum very much. Perhaps in other times I would feel more keenly the disagreements I might have with Mr. Frum, but in these time I’m just grateful for his dedication of his voice and intellect to supporting what American virtues we can still find. I recommended this to my mother and she is enjoying it too. Thank you, David.

This is an exceptionally educational and unbiased show.

He’s doing a weekly podcast!

The David Frum show is the best politics podcast there is. It is great because David Frum is an intellect who is able to present his considerable knowledge without condescension. He is also a born interviewer.

Mr Frum is wonderful interviewer His insights are always informative and speaks to me as a listener in terms that I can understand and appreciate This is a podcast that I have been waiting for Thank you Mr Frum

Always a novel and insightful take

Cogent, topical, intelligent, thoughtful discourse. Sorely lacking in today’s media but much appreciated.

David Frum is without a doubt one of the most brilliant public intellectuals of our time. His encyclopedic knowledge of history, politics, international relations, law and just about any subject you can imagine is breathtaking. Every time he speaks you will learn something new or see an issue from an angle you never thought of. This doesn’t mean he is always right—but good luck trying to find someone who has managed to foresee virtually every escalating crisis of the Trump years since 2016 while also being vindicated again and again when it comes to his warnings for the Democrats during those same years—from immigration (2017 Atlantic main feature article) to Biden’s cognitive collapse, to the war in Ukraine. There is not a single other voice in the country’s discourse who adds more value or more insight than David Frum.

He is one of the guests that I like hearing from the most on the Bulwark. It’s great that he has is own podcast now.

Love David Frum, he is really insightful and has a gift for tying complex topics together in an easy to understand way. Highly recommend.

What a comfort to listen to an intelligent soul who can be deep, thoughtful and does not yell at you!! It’s refreshing to listen to someone who is not hateful. David feels like a person I can invite into my home and have a good glass of wine!

This is clarity and wisdom in words.

And thank you for pointing out that we Americans have to fight for our democracy and we can do it!

So informative, so insightful, so courageous, so clear and so intelligent. I always learn so much from Mr. Frum.

Eloquent, passionately dispassionate dialectic on the troubled times we find ourselves in. Coming live from objective reality.

Adult. No hyperbole. Just very thoughtful, complete discussions; love this new podcast!

David is an intellectual giant - I am a podcast junkie and this is a must listen - I am not sure why anyone wouldn’t give this a five star

Frum doesn’t deal in hyperbole. He provides facts and excellent analysis. An factual and informative listen

One of my favorite lessons of the week on current events.

In a very short time. In a very limited number of episodes, among my weekly must listen and favorite shows

Thanks to David Frum for believing in Democracy! I have been an avid reader of his articles and books and now I am happy to follow his thoughtful podcast .

No sugar coating the reality we are living in along with experts who explain current events in clear,concise terms.

Thank you for your eloquence. My mom was a Canadian and my dad an American. I grew up on the Ontario border along the St. Lawrence River and lived on both sides as if they were home. I'll always love Canada.

Great podcast—well edited and despite the disturbing topic (modern American politics and life) oddly comforting. Love the questions at the end and the respectful and thoughtful responses.

david always enjoy your brilliance and discussions i'd love you to have tom friedman ezra klein anne applebaum jayne meyer ruth ben giat to name a few

I’m really enjoying Mr Frum’s interesting and thoughtful program.

Extremely intelligent

I have been waiting for this podcast. Everytime he is on the Bulwark, I replay the podcast multiple times. He is incredibly knowledgeable and well-spoken.

David Frum is one of my favorite people to listen to, here and everywhere in the PodUniverse! More Frum, I say!

My favorite person on the bulwark. Who’s more thoughtful with their words than Mr. frum

Outstanding. I’m so happy David is doing this. He’s one of the most intelligent and insightful people around. This podcast will be at the top of my list.

Honest effort to look under the surface of current affairs with an aim for the reasonable person inside all of us.

It’s hard to find a political podcast without the screaming and drama. This one is the sensible one. It’s straightforward and Frum provides insight and great guests who deliver facts. Heard Frum on my other favorite, The Bulwark, and I’m glad I checked it out.
