ICE detention center
Just FYI. ICE attempting to open a detention center in Newburgh NY across the street from Stewart NY International Airport. There is a protest tonight 7/7. @1900 hrs. Algonquin Park, 54 Powder Mill Rd, Newburgh, NY Good God, ladies. It has nothing to do with being Louisiana. It is a French name. There is a very famous port called the Port of Calláis . Cal lay Just listening to today’s podcast 8/29 and the story of the little dog named Iris. As you were telling the story, all I could think of was Arco Iris. When you said what would be more appropriate than two gay women using a rainbow I knew I was right. Arco Iris in Spanish is rainbow.

Patriotism Redoubled
Dissent is the engaged, committed citizen's patriotic duty to upholding the US Constitution and the endeavor of a more perfect Union. Allison, Dana, and (on Fridays) John embody this patriotic spirit. TDB is informative, galvanizing, and life affirming with good humor and well placed expletives. It's a must listen. 🗽⚖️ 🐾

One of the best with all the info you need to stay updated on the the awful regime we now live in but helps to keep us informed of the good as well as the bad. Love you ladies and all you do. Keep up the great work ❤️💓❤️🪻

Empathy…
Is the ability to recognize, understand, and share the feelings, thoughts, and perspectives of others Dear Dana, you should be part of that definition in the books. Your empathy for the gentleman who was killed at a democracy rally made my heart stand still. 🩵

The shining stars of independent media
The Daily Beans have been the main thing getting me through the last several years of national psychosis and the meltdown of corporate journalism. Must listen!

Cole bullet
On Substack a sniper did a slow motion review of the incident. Cole was not in a position to get that projectile in the officer. It clearly came from friendly fire unless it was manipulated video. I can’t confirm the authenticity. Great show thank you MSW.

My daily dose of cautious optimism
The Daily Beans was one of the first podcasts I started listening to in my despair after the last election. And I’m so very glad I found it (and through it.. the incomparable John Fugelsang:) It was exactly what I needed… well-researched and factual information, delivered in a witty and often entertaining way. AG and DG are like the two best friends I never knew I needed! I recently got to the point in my life where I could afford to subscribe to a few of my favorite podcasts and this was my first add! Well beyond worth it! Take care of yourself, and each other, friends!

No Kings, No Nobles
AG, you are like a praying mantis mixed with a mongoose when it comes to keeping up on our leadership class. What do you think about the idea of expanding the U.S. Congress? It was capped in 1929 during a corrupt time (by corrupt Republicans) in our nation. Isn’t it time to undo this “century of sadness” and to reestablish representative democracy? About 525,600 minutes in a year, but over 700,000 people to represent, so not even a minute per person, even if your representative was robo-cop or Superwoman and could stay awake all year long.

I’m tired
I literally just wrote out a whole long thing. Basically, I just want Alison, no Dana. I fluffed it up to try to acknowledge Dana’s comedy skill, but it got deleted and now I need to work. I need to show up at my job, so I gotta keep feedback tight. I miss the kitchen table days. Dana’s blowing up, she doesn’t need this anymore (maybe she never did). And the guy who insists on calling you “ Miss Gill?” Yeet him. I just want Allison Gill. Alison Gill is enough to carry a podcast. I just want Allison. She’s smart. She’s savvy. I just want her. I’m busy. I’m a working mom, so the fact that I took any time to comment should register. I loved the kitchen table days, when Allison was just freeballing off facts. I tolerate Dana, but I don’t think she’s a beneficial addition. Your whole following is women who want to hear YOU. Dana’s a great person but the continual patter of y friend my friend my friend is tiresome. Allison, we’d love to have you back. Could you just do a podcast that’s you, informing us, with your ingenious and indubitable take I miss that.

I love this show
I love this show. I’m only giving you a four star because I’ve noticed you conflicting criticisms of Israel, which Joe can’t did as antisemitic. It’s not antisemitic to say you don’t wanna fight a war for another country especially Israel we all need to learn to be able to criticize Israel without somebody saying we’re antisemitic.

Wow!!

Great podcast - Delayed news
The podcast is great, LOVE AG and DG. However since they record the day before the podcast is about the previous days news cycle and not the one all your other podcasts and news channels will be talking about. SOTU happened on Tuesday, but they won’t have it on their podcast until Thursday.

Daily Sanity
AG and DG give a daily run down of the most important stories from the last 24 hours, and they do so with great care. Their Good Trouble and Good News are the perfect To-Do list for those looking to join in solidarity with other concerned Americans.

My fave news source!
Daily Beans is where I get the info I need, even on days when I feel like I want to ignore everything.

These 2 Rock!
AG and DG are the best of the best! I start my day with them and they make me laugh. So many times they have made me think of my best friend who passed away a few years ago, because we use to laugh together just like they do! They really are the best!

Mic too sensitive
The mic used for the video pod with Meidas is too sensitive. I hate hearing someone swallowing their spit and other mouth noises.

A must listen
This is a must listen. Every week day the hardest working woman in podcasting along with her intrepid cohost cover the news of the day. Their smart and quippy commentary entertains and informs. I just love these ladies. I look forward to listening every day.

Best way to start your day!
This show has saved my sanity. AG and DG make keeping tabs on the Trump administration circus, bearable, and even entertaining. I eagerly listen to their “good trouble “ and “good news” segments each day, to renew my faith in humanity.

Mandatory weekday listening!
A friend of mine turned me onto this podcast, and it is one of the first things that I listen to every weekday! A quick way to catch up on the worst of the chaos and some of the epic burns administered to the regime.

Meta ad?!
Why are you allowing Meta ads during your show?! They are complicit in this horrible mess of a govt we currently have- standing behind T on Inauguration Day. Stop playing Meta ads!!!

Exceptional Independent News
I appreciate being well informed by AG and DG daily. They save me time by filtering the many news articles. Share good news and good trouble to boot! Love it!

No Life without the beans
I look forward to listening to Allison and Dana every morning and look forward to Unjustified on Sunday. Could never handle the dumpster fire without the Good News segment and swearing. Not sure when these ladies sleep but I’m forever grateful for their reporting.

Informative and Fun
I listen to a few left leaning news podcasts. However these ladies give excellent news while having fun. They bring good news, touching stories and honest opinion of the atrocities in our country.

A dose a positive
Since the election I have started to listen to Independent Media sources. I was disappointed with the lack of coverage by Legacy Media. After all their capitulation to Trump, I don’t even listen to it anymore. Instead I listen to lots of different podcasts now; however, there is one that I don’t ever miss now and that is the Daily Bean. I appreciate their up to date coverage of the major events of the previous day. They keep me informed on the news good and bad but they always leave me inspired with their good news and good trouble. The fight continues for our democracy but they help provide me with concrete ways to push back. They are my first listen every morning now with my coffee. Thanks Allison and Dana for all you do.

FUGELSANG FRIDAY’S RULE!!!
I look forward to Fugelsang Friday’s the guy is brilliant, hilarious & he pulls no punches

Good show
Love the show but you might want to refine your interview skills. I keep noticing you state the question then repeat it at least 2 more times without a pause before giving the guest a chance to answer. Why waste the time, if you just ask the question once you could fit in more questions

Hands down the best podcast for these challenging times
My mother turned me onto this show months ago and I have been so grateful for these 2 incredible women for helping me to deal with the insanity. What’s makes it different from all others I’ve found is the offerings of “good trouble.” No other suggests the range of ways to get involved and be proactive like The Daily Beans.

Awsome
I have been listening to the podcast for just a couple of weeks and I absolutely love it. The queens are pleasantly potty mouthed at the right time, and give a wonderful recap of the daily news. And especially for me in my 70s and hard of hearing, their diction is great. One of the few podcasts I can actually comprehend without using headphones. You girls rock!
Killer12er
Awesome content.
Terrific show, and thank you for the microdosing hope sections. Dana, no offense, but please just read through your copy out loud before you hit the mic.

The Daily Beans keeps me sane. Thank you for doing the hard work of delivering the headlines we need to hear about. Allison and Dana are the highly intelligent, honorable, kind, and brave voices we need in this moment. Amen sistahs!
