  • AWL122
    Favorite leftist pod
    Thoughtful, critical leftist analyses of the news. I’m a paid subscriber.
  • Terry_K
    One of the best political podcasts out there
    They entertain the audience with a comedic, intelligent, “true” left perspective without being a snooze fest.
  • sam dobbs
    A show with meaningful and impactful discussion
    The Majority Report is one of the few podcasts that is actually working to save our democracy and help real people. They are irreplaceable and needed in the current media landscape
  • Rossish01
    The best, smartest show on the internet
    Sam Seder and Emma Vigland provide clear eyed insight to the news of the day. They have a Left perspective, but don’t blindly cheerlead for Democrats. They push the party to be on the side of the working class, but understand the realpolitik and look for solutions within the system. Their daily fare is interviews on long term issues, giving context for our society’s biggest issues. On their Fun Half, they watch the crazy Right so we don’t have to. They are great at reading between lines and spotting lies.

    Left is Best
    Sam Seder, Emma Viegland, Matt Lech and the gang catch you up on all things sociopolitical. Lefty friendly, trans friendly, friendly friendly. Best thing to happen to YouTube since the play button.

    Antisemetic podcasters
    They are so clearly against Jews and ignorant about Judaism. I will never listen to them again. It’s horrible.

    Misogyny
    Decent show until host laughed about a female volleyball player who was severely injured during a game by another player.
  • ElCrasho2
    Great Analysis!
    I love this show! Fully equipped with long form interviews and insightful examination of all current events. The crew: Sam, Emma, Matt, Bradley, Corey and Jacob along with those working in the background make this one of the best podcasts out there. If you haven’t done so, give it a listen!

    Left is best!!
    Huge Hasanabi fan and I love to listen to you guys before Hasan gets on. You guys are the best and I love how you guys talk to the experts. Keep up the great work.
  • Get bent liberals
    Hard pass
    I do not support people who cheer on men who do bodily harm to women ever.
  • Lmattz
    Best show
    Love Sam and Emma, they come with receipts and good takes on pretty much everything. Slava Ukraini and free Palestine!
  • Aman Withnoname
    Ditch the pod bros and the main stream media and start feeling better.
    Majority report does a great job of keeping you up to date about what’s going on without trying to instill panicky feelings other coverage does. They interview brilliant experts and provide you with lots of opportunities to take action that’s not just giving money to loser democrats who will do nothing to help working people. And they’ll give you some good laughs too.

    Left is best
    Been listening for years. They’re the best and beholden to no one so you’re getting honest news. Also, great book recommendations from the show.

    Breath of fresh air
    I started seriously listening to the damage report after The Young Turks took a hard right turn a few weeks ago. I love the insightful interviews and analysis of issues.
  • Timmy Thunder Fingers
    Sober and Rational Analysis
    Every episode is a clear-eyed, sober, incisive and humorous analysis of major events in politics and culture. Sam’s voice has been prevalent since the Air America days and is indispensable to the contemporary discourse. I feel better every time I listen.
  • 💕brener
    What we need now
    More than ever. Thanks for a great show.
  • CJSimonson
    Misinformation
    Fine show, but Emma Vigeland spreading misinformation on behalf of the Los Angeles mayors office during these wildfires makes it more than a little bit untrustworthy, find political and news pods elsewhere!
  • Sewfancy86
    Great show
    Love this show- very informative. And I love the longer format. Sam, I do wish you would ramble less 😅😅😅
  • Mrtydbowl
    Can Matt’s Mic be Cut?
    I love the show. I’ve been listening for 7 years. I’m a paid supporter. I really think Matt has gotten out of hand with his commentary. He cuts Emma off frequently. His commentary is overly aggressive. He isn’t a host. I appreciate some of his commentary but it’s gotten to be too much lately.
  • JMJWD
    Disappointed
    Please consider excluding mainstream journalists ( read NYT) from future shows. Treat your listeners either more respect.

    Modern Antisemitism
    This is what the left has become. Pro-terrorism antisemites.
  • birdienow
    Sam's mimicking Giuliani is HILARIOUS!
    I can't get enough of Sam's Giuliani. It is HILARIOUS!!! Love the podcast!
  • KelsiWhitney
    Phenomenal!
    I know they operate in somewhat different lanes, but I’ve been stuck in Crooked Media land and discovering The Majority Report has been like a breath of fresh air. I’ve known I had outgrown the neoliberal worldview I may have once held, but this year really gave me the kick I needed to seek out media from the left and MR is exactly exactly exactly what I was looking for. Keep up the great work!
  • Fred Bermuda
    Political analysis?
    Vigland is such an ideologue her opinions are both clueless and worthless!
  • CJohnsComic
    Fair, fun and informative!
    I recently started paying more attention to politics and Sam, Emma and the gang are my go to along with a few others. This is a deep dive on what’s going on. The hits with some B sides.
  • San Diego Sould Patch
    These people are Marxists!
    5 Stars!

    Great show 😎💯
    Always a great show for hard-core progressives with fun comedy for more casual listeners lol ☯️ respect to Sam & everyone on the show always good job
  • BUKKROGERS
    Tribal Audience Capture
    If you hate intelligent discourse, you cringe at good faith dialectic, your attention span is too short to listen to nuance or expertise, and you’re the sort who shows your approval through whoops and snaps, this is the podcast for you. Designed to regurgitate tired platitudes that signal allegiance to the tribe rather than explore ideas beyond the Overton window of the ingroup for which the hosts are constantly waving their flags, the Majority Report comes complete with a predictable body of talking points that lack depth or any understanding of the issues being discussed. Understanding isn’t necessary when your objective is to deliver laugh lines to please a crowd of what must be fanatic high schoolers. Most of us older than high-school age refrain from forming strong opinions on things we don’t understand. The cast of the Majority Report do not share this reservation. They are emboldened by high school level rhetoric, by faith claims that supplant reality, by lazy thinking and the inability to engage seriously with important ideas. I haven’t seen anyone so oblivious to their own cluelessness since Malcolm Gladwell’s appearance in two Munk debates. The Majority Report exudes the same character as conservative talk radio, in both the delivery of its hosts and in the complexity of their thought. The show is great for fans of thought-terminating cliches, Motte and Baileys, idioms of non-argument, intimations of absurdity, and hosts who spend more time practicing their tonal inflection than developing substantive knowledge about anything. The final nail here is that Sam has explicitly stated that lying for the tribe and ideological purity is more important than telling the truth. The show’s listeners have to be a gullible, thoughtless sort.

    Left is best
    Thank you for covering the news in such an informative and entertaining way. Wherever I am, I always know I can get back in touch and hear the latest analysis from Sam, Emma, and friends. Growing up conservative, I was deprived of intelligent, progressive positions and understandings of the world around me. Sam brings such a wealth of knowledge and experience, and Emma is well attuned to the values and voices of modern progressives. Once a Trump voter, now DSA member and Harris 24 voter. Thank you, Majority Report.

    Change the music PLZ
    Love the show but I can hardly hear the news w that music in background. I either avoid listenin or ffwd past the music. Can u just change the intro n the music. It’s doooooo old n irritating now.

  • angrylf
    Stilted, biased nonsense
    How does anyone take these people seriously? Their coverage of the Cass report, for example, is laughable - an example of how they push agendas as opposed to information. They’re still smearing Kenneth Zucked after his views and practices have been vindicated in court when he won his wrongful dismissal lawsuit. The hosts are silly and smug enough that you can’t really take them seriously so I guess it doesn’t really matter. Don’t waste your time.
  • tilghmac
    Really. Calling out pelosi for pettiness by being petty. Nice one
    Come on Sam, biden has never been a fan of bibi! And i m pretty sure you dont believe biden has no care for the Palestinians. Not a fair assessment Ive been listening since air America days Whats the point of trying to create that kind of space on the left. Not a real place of disagreement
  • Richard D 47
    This is the place for the most informative interviews in the politispere
    The Majority Report has consistently been on the right side of history for 20 years now. Seder, Emma, Matt Lech, Bradley, Matt Bender & Brandon (as well as the reoccurring guests like Heather Digby, Ryan Grim, David Dayan, & Mathew Film guy) all bring informed commentary with a slice of humor that makes both daily & globally relevant news a lil’ easier to swallow. There’s no better place for in-depth interviews with doctors, writers, professors, lawyers and dozens of other experts in their fields. If you’re not listening to MR you’re missing out.
  • Salamander Spinach
    Sam and Emma are great!
    Been listening to Sam since Air America. Majority Report is informative and fun! And Emma is such a great co-host!
  • davidgryczynski
    Love this show
    I have been listening for years and years and continue to love the direction that Seder is steering this leftist ship.
  • Robin Robinovitch
    Decent commentary on current affairs
    Decent commentary on current affairs from a left perspective. It’s infotainment (by their own admission) so don’t expect the London Review of Books but it’s good for what it is. This sounds damning with faint praise but it really is good.
  • Zombie Tombie
    Embarrassing
    Take truth and turn it on its head and you have this show
  • AppleSapien
    Marry me, Emma
    Subscribed on YouTube too, but found out by paying attention to John Iadarola’s outro that you can rate Apple Podcasts, and you guys are deserving of 5 stars. I'm just here for the soy; thank you, may I have another? My only critique is that you guys have eased up on Steven Crowder and Tim Pool; when they come up, you guys really need to destroy them more. Sam, it’s time you crash Tim’s party, too, as an uninvited guest. The world could use that.
  • Phytophilous Dragon
    Intelligent and Hilarious
    Sam and Emma have experts come on and discuss issues that actually impact our lives. They are well-informed and have great senses of humor despite the darkness humanity faces. Most importantly, they focus on what can be done to solve these problems. I highly recommend this show and listen to it every possible day.

    Good objective truth

    Prodigal progressive’s
    A podcast for those who believe that to disagree with them politically is to be either a fascist or a white supremacist.
