    Excellent interviews
    I’m surprised at the criticism from Australia and New Zealand what is Israel supposed to do wait until Iran sends a nuclear missile at them? When you have thousands of people saying “Death to Israel and death to America” you have to take them at their word and defend yourself.
  • Idn0239087
    Biased heavily on some topics
    Anti ICE riot discussion leaves our completely that some protesters are against deporting people who may have entered illegally years and decades ago but are being grabbed from court houses as they show up for their hearings, working through the immigration process. Those people work and pay taxes. Not criminals.

    A must listen
    In a sea of misinformation and anti Israel anti American propaganda, Mike presents a reality based show for those still capable of logic and critical thinking. It’s a must listen daily.
  • Kathyren01
    Not all that.
    Way too biased. I’m quickly bored by the non-truths.
  • Trimosier
    Mostly ads and propaganda
    Really not much content here, can’t imagine paying for a premium subscription to get right wing talking points that are just as skewed as the left wing media he likes to whine about. He manipulates quotes, inserts personal opinions not backed by facts, and generally goes out of his way to be inflammatory to a conservative audience. It’s a good thing the show is more than 50% ads, there’s plenty of time to google each story and compare. Waste of time.

    Pres. Trump writing a new book.
    With Pres. trump’s current dealings with Persia, he is now prepared to pen a new book called the “Art Of The Cave”. Persia has been making suckers of the USA beginning with the Jimmy Carter administration and nothing has change except Persia is very close now in nuking Israel.
  • TheThinket
    Great Information
    Informative, fair, seeking truth.
  • AK Moosie
    Too Many Ads
    More ads than content lately.

    Sounds a lot like a narrative that CIA would push if they had an asset with a popular podcast.

    Chinese cyber-spying — who knew?!
    Seems we had a warning of this when I was working for DHS years ago… anyone ever heard of Huawei? Who would have guessed that the CCP would do something so sneaky!
  • Troyboy72648@262
    Ad brief
    The new title should be the president’s daily ad brief
  • ElCheapador
    Too many commercials
    Great info and I like that it’s not a long podcast. Hits the highlights on topics I don’t hear covered in other sources. However, I guess Mike’s podcast has grown enough for him to get significant advertising and it appears he accepts all of it. What used to be a short synopsis with a handful of commercials, now it’s commercials with some information sprinkled in. It’s almost unlistenable. Cut some of the ads.
  • RoutineDrop
    Used to be good
    It feels like neocon propaganda these days
  • Fun j
    Great but….
    Love the show. I just wish you weren’t so monotone. When you are on other shows you don’t sound like you’re reading from a script. On this show you do.
  • Bobbyvjbk
    Informative but it used to be better
    Mike used to be better and is still informative but obviously leans politically right. Especially with the current administration. It’s also really annoying that he bombards the PDB with ads. I understand he has a “premium” version of this podcast but I definitely will not be paying for that for the quality of this podcast.
  • Seawarrior73
    Smart and pithy news!
    I absolutely LOVE these daily briefings!! I listen to them both EVERY DAY. They are so informative and straight to the point. No bloviating, just straight facts.
  • carriecamarillo
    Great show
    Love this podcast! Thank you! Also love that you live in my State!
  • DavidD7963
    Trump
    Love the podcast but the mocking jabs at Trump are getting really old. The first time was cute, the next 47 times were not and now they’re down right annoying. Please stop. There’s plenty of guys doing what you do and my time is limited. See?
  • Kevinneedstheword
    Apple is redirecting people away from PDB
    When I ask Siri to start playing the president’s daily brief, which I have in the past, my new iOS (18.4) directs me to news they select including NPR’s daily news. This is a huge foul
  • Support our MG!
    Great 2x daily listen
    I listen during my commute to and from work. Great way to get significant updates on current events in a timely manner.
  • wolfie/wolf
    Best news cast
    This is a really good way to keep up with the world news Just the facts as sergeant Friday uses to say Great intelligence and insight from a former CIA spook
  • jtalley72
    Essential
    A great way to start the day or the afternoon. I’ve been a fan of Baker on Rogan for years and now enjoy the PDB. I was a little disappointed when I heard a pharmaceutical ad in the middle of the PDB, but I’m sure Baker has his reasons (insert a cynical, ironic aside in Baker’s voice here).
  • BigBudKT550
    Its great!
    Its so nice to have a overview of the news of the day/day before that is as ‘unbiased’ as a human can get. Ur doing great work and keep it up!
  • Fwafwow
    Mixed - meh
    I like the format and breadth of issues covered, but the snarky comments get old. Yes, Russia invaded Ukraine and their intentions are self-interested. But to act like the current conflict just started in 2022 is to ignore a broader history and some of the failings of our own country, on both Democrat’s and Republican’s watches. No need to agree with my opinion - please just leave yours out.
  • tomshairpiece
    Just News...Sure Jan...
    I love hearing Mike have to report on Trump because it's pretty obvious he can't stand him. Unbiased, just news, whatever Mike, we know you don't like the guy.
  • Bgbarn
    Well it used to be great
    I loved this show previously, when it was short, to the point and relatively unbiased. Unfortunately, Mike’s taken a hard left. Hmm, I wonder which document we’ll see his name on soon for him to become so defensive whenever he mentions trump. Smh
  • CastleTrade
    Biased/unbiased
    Mile claims the show is unbiased yet there’s clearly pro war and anti Russian bias. Still, great content. Love the quick dose of relevant news although it seems as if there’s more commercials than content.
  • nick-named
    Too pro Ukraine biased
    Not sure why Ukraine is so preferred over Russia. Both are equally corrupt and both have innocent soldiers dying. His bias is so blatant while Ukraine is bleeding us dry- with no respect. Used to be good show under former host.
  • Diwo Bob
    Not for liberals or Democrats
    The PDB makes itself out to be an unbiased fact-based podcast along the lines of an apolitical intelligence agency briefing. Instead, it tends to lean right, de-emphasizing certain matters and emphasizing others. The show is heavily tilted towards Israel. If you want a worldview like Trump’s then listen to this podcast. if you rather hear something more balanced, I recommend everything by the Economist.
  • Maj. America
    Right wing slant is getting hard to listen to
    I really enjoyed Mike reading the news for the last year or so but since the lead up to the election and particularly recently Mike’s boss showing through that it might as well be Fix news — maybe that’s the audience. Wish he’d go back to just reading the news.
  • monkey faced boy
    Best Briefing Out There
    Quick and to the point, without a bunch of distractions and wasted words. An everyday listen in our household.
  • Mikemyopinion
    Good Stuff
    The news without a slant and nobody telling you how to feel or what to believe and boom, Bobs your uncle. This is the PDB. Thanks Mike!!
  • Eborg13
    Perfect
    Just what people are begging for in a news outlet.
  • Samoyed27
    PDB
    The best show to keep informed. Did Mike get knighted while in England?
  • Michael102481
    Solid
    I don’t ever write reviews. This podcast is solid. Baker is direct, tells you the news and lets you decide. Only thing I don’t like is its short shows! I can listen to Mike all day! Great job
  • jlkshort
    Not unbiased
    I learned about the show listening to Joe Rogan interview Mike Baker. Mike said he just gave the news with perhaps a occasional comment but he makes continual comments. Not interested.
  • im real 84747$;-)(=)&))&
    Great show for ads!
    If you’re having a hard time reaching the older population; this is where you want to place your ads.
  • Boognish22
    Great pod , but
    Good news source, really like Mike. But zero coverage of the Trump trials? Now this company is in bed with Megan Kelly, and the factor? Hope this pod cast stays clear of being the Fox/newsmax of podcast. Keep your head above that water , Mike. How bout some Trump trial coverage, seems important since somehow he is allowed to run for president through all of this….. updated 11/17/24…. Way to soft shoe the Matt gaetz appt. Disappointing.
  • Rossaroni
    Trumps pirate crew & UFO
    Trumps picks are breathtaking & wonderfully disruptive! So far as the UFO’s being foreign advisories equipment. If we had only recently started seeing these things, yes, but we’ve been witnessing this level of technology/phenomena back to when we were still in prop driven aircraft. We’ve only recently been able to record what we’ve seen readily. Whatever they are they’ve shown levels of technology long, long before anyone on earth could have.
  • wrhicklin
    AI??
    If this host isn’t just an AI narrator, then he needs to learn how to properly pronounce names and places and also speak like a real human being.
  • AmandaJ4181
    Puts the Bias in Unbiased
    This show was recommended to me as a non-partisan information only podcast and after listening to just two episodes it is ABUNDANTLY clear that this podcast is in fact biased and right leaning.”be awake, not woke”, and having guests on the show from entities that also present themselves as non-partisan while actually being extremely partisan, and then fawning all over them is at best ridiculous and probably outright deceitful.
  • carol from PA
    Great show…Questionable political ads
    The host is very informative and the topics are timely and interesting. I can’t figure out why there are political ads interspersed during the show that are all one sided. It’s disappointing.
  • Blaip123
    Disapointed with sponsorship choice
    I enjoy the show but was disappointed that Mike allowed for political ads about abortion. I prefer that the show maintain the more political objectivity rather than engaging in such a hot button emotional issue.
  • Y2856Y
    Leaves Me Wanting More
    An excellent podcast to keep up with REAL news impacting the Globe. Only wish it was about twice as long with more such news, but as they say, “Leave them wanting more.”
  • Maxpower0418
    Hmmm
    Hmmmm
  • need beats
    Trash War Hawk
    The new host is a trashy war pig. Stupid and ridiculous. Last host was a ton better
  • Atir73
    Great
    I like the way you keep me informed about the going’s on overseas, I especially like your upbeat message on July 4th, I also appreciate your humor! Thanks Mike
  • Brando199005
    Great unbiased news
    If you want news from a source that is unbiased from a host who is very well spoken, this is it. We need more news outlets like this.
  • Elaine231
    Informative with a spark of humor
    Mike is incredibly knowledgeable and these punchy episodes pack all the world news you need to know into 10-15 minutes. The best part is Mike’s sarcastic side commentary. Please keep it up!
  • Deutschmark nie
    Good overview
    Good for an overview but little detailed analysis and a bit of a neocon slant
