Value of wisdom
I found this podcast and listened to every episode in one sitting. It shows me how accumulated wisdom and experience benefits not only the bearer, but also those who hear from them. I wish Mr. Rather would restart making these episodes.

Informative guidance
First time I listened, had a big sigh of relief. Needed some history to understand where we as Americans are right now....probably in the hands of those greedy, unknowledgeable, traitorous regime who Yes, we will remove all of these hoaxers hopefully sooner than later.

Thank You!!
Dear Dan, I love this podcast! I wanted your perspective because you have so much history to draw from... you have been there, done that and bought a bunch of t-shirts. You are able to communicate the severity of our situation with a calm hope. The information you bring as background historical facts help me to have the ability to compare and remember. Also, I love the poetry closing and the music!! I will be spreading the news about this podcast. Best Regards! Lynn Kelly

Started with Bush and is carried on with Trump. Water erodes all and fires will burn with it, the smoke continues. Thank you Dan for your courage and strength in these turmoil battles of choice.

I believe if you were able to sooth our recent fears you would❤️
Mr. Rather, we have not heard from you in a while. I have no doubt that if you could sooth our fears you would. I am a generation X Texan. I grew up hearing your concerned, confident and sincere voice in my living room. When Trump was appointed our president I went into a depression and became and am still extremely angry and disappointed in my fellow citizens. Your voice has been extremely soothing for me. You have been a refreshing reminder that a human can be from Texas and can also speak truth to power intelligently. I thank you for your service and I wish you peace. ❤️

Excellent
A voice of reason, deeply seasoned and I'm thankful for his intelligent perspective especially in this time of insanity at the executive levels. Please don't stop Mr. Rather.

Thank you.
Your voice is a soothing balm to my jangled nerves. Calm and reasonable is a necessity right now. I also like your choice of poems.

Journalism at its finest.
Dan Rather is excellent! So glad I discovered his thought provoking podcast. It deserves more than 5 stars.

True Journalism
Dan Rather is like Walter Cronkite to me. The voice of true journalism / the Elder Reporter I did not realize I was missing until I heard it again. Bringing his experiences reporting the news from the 60s to today and reminding us of all that has happened. The history or the story behind the news.

Dig a Little Deeper, Dan
I am a 37 year old woman and I have been listening to the podcast since it began. The reason I was interested in listening to Dan Rather’s take on current news is because I do respect his life experience and I feel like Dan is one of the “old school” journalists who try to make the world a better place by seeking truth and publishing it. I really liked the episode “Enemy of the People,” because it emphasized the danger of targeting the press, one of America’s basic institutions of free speech. Having said that, I do have a few critiques: I just listened to the episode on race and I was disappointed in how incomplete it was. This subject deserves much much more than a brief history of racism in America, followed by one of the most annoying phrases ever coined : “We can do better America.” Thanks for the scolding, Dad. We know we should do better. But why don’t we? Maybe dig a little deeper and find out what people are gaining from racism. Or just offer some practical ideas to combat it. I just think if you are going to tackle that subject, you need to really go after it. Thanks

Love it!
A sane look at where we are now, where we’ve been and where we can go from here as a country. Dan Rather’s familiar voice beckons to us to return to sanity. Please listen.

Needs an Extension
I'm a fan of Dan's writing: intelligent, thoughtful, maybe even poetic. I was happy to see him have a podcast and I like it. Only complaint is that it is entirely too short. It would be much better if Dan could do an hour-long show. Otherwise, keep up the good work.

Great podcast!
What a great podcast by a legend! Very informative, full of hope and inspiring. Thank you Dan

Dan Rather invented fake news.
Please google “dan rather fake news” you will see he was spreading VERIFIED LIES for a majority of his career and was effectively fired for it. He’s a liar

Sharp as ever
My first memory of Dan Rather is of his report on Tiananmen Square. The official story was that nothing happened, and so he said it - and followed up with that story being a lie. From then on, I trusted his integrity and I'm so glad he's active in media again.

I love listening to Dan Rather! His message is short, clear, and to the point; I also like how he ends each episode with a relevant poem!

Thought Provoking Podcast
Love this podcast. It is focused and Thought Provoking. It cuts out all the fluff we are hearing from the media. We need more journalists like Dan Rather. Keep it up Dan!
Rezthang
Relieved that Dan's podcasts are here!
I listened to all of 3 podcasts (so far) this afternoon. Given the unsettling condition of recent events I had a strong desire to listen to Dan Rather’s thoughts & wisdom from his long years of broadcasting and his thoughtful perspective. Lo and behold I found these jewels of podcasts. His historical perspective held my attention totally and it gave me the hope we can survive this difficult time together. I somehow found his podcasts calming and hopeful. Dan, please keep on speaking to us and podcasting, EVERYONE wants to hear what you have to say!

A Trusted Voice
As Rather puts it, he's not left wing, right wing, or chicken wing... he's just trying to get to the truth. He is a trusted voice during chaotic times.

Calming
It took me a few weeks to listen because I just didn't know if I could take listening to the news. I was wrong. Dan Rather's is a calming voice in the storm that we are living in. I'm so glad I subscribed.

Real news from one of the greatest journalists of all time
I grew up with Dan Rather on the CBS Evening News. He has never given up on his quest for the truth, and this is proof. He brings his concerns for the state of the nation to the forefront in this podcast. This is an important show and everyone should open their minds and hear what Dan has to say.

Dan Rather is my spirit animal
Dan Rather has the voice of an angel, the heart of a warrior, and the wisdom of Dumbledore. No matter your political affiliation or beliefs, I challenge anyone to put to words their dislike for a man who has been in the reporting industry longer than many podcast listeners have been alive. If you’re looking for a relaxing news experience that somehow lifts yours concerns from a burdened heart, look no further than this podcast. I hope to live in a world where this podcast is a daily release.

A Voice of Reason
Thank you, Dan Rather! We need your wisdom and voice of reason, along with your reassurance that the USA can survive these difficult times.

...a person of deep experience, civility and reason in a world that is often most disheartening. Dan Rather serves a most valuable, sane counterpoint to the insanity swirling around us. I am grateful for his voice.

Insightful
Dan Rather brings his vast experience to this discussion of recent events. I find it insightful and hopeful.
janettegarton
Sobering and insightful
It is wonderful to hear Dan Rather’s voice again. He has a voice of reason and brings the truth to light in a clear, concise way. These are serious times, and our wish that Trump would disappear is not coming true. This podcast is a timely call to action.

A Comforting Voice
I greatly appreciate Dan Rather stepping forward to help shine a clarifying light on events that are transpiring during these conflicted times. Even though the reason for him doing this podcast is alarming, I am still comforted by hearing his familiar voice confirming the need for us to stand against Trump’s dangerous occupation of the White House.

Straight Talk from Dan the Man!
Dan Rather delieves it like he always has - with a eye on the Truth. He has seen in it all in his career and we are lucky he still provides his perspective and context in this insane digital age. Is Rather perfect? No - he himself admits to having made mistakes. But he is always willing to call it like he sees it. Rather sorts out today's stories and events with honesty. He doesn't fall victim to spin and this podcast can help all of us see things that way too.

Somewhat bleak, but it’s Dan Rather
Dan Rather! How much more solid of a voice can you get? And a long history of being in full touch with the political scene. Took off a star because the show is kinda a meandering stream of consciousness. Looking forward to when Dan gets in his stride.

Soothing, somber, and sober
His voice soothes as his words are somber and sober. Worth the listen and taking the time to reflect.

Spot on as usual
Don speaks eloquently and clearly but most of all from the heart.

Relentless
Listening to Dan Rather gives me hope and keeps me going.. He's not "left wing, right wing, chicken wing". He sees through the BS that so many people are blind to see.

A voice of calm wisdom
There isn’t a journalist out there who has the history, courage, insight, and gift of language as Dan Rather. This podcast is a welcome voice from a friend who puts all of those traits behind delivering amazing reporting and commentary on a corrupt government and the things we need to consider as citizens to push back against it.
