Unless you announced it today. Wayne Gretzky Day 6; just means I had to fast-forward. Drop in a 13 minute clip from four years ago. Record the out and we’re done. Be better. By now we figured out this is by design so loyal subscribers can abandon ship in the C Block and you can say You are providing content, for new listeners even though it’s old and stale Looking forward to summer, regulars, your friend Lizzie, and Mr. Mays Now worst persons becoming a carousel- insert Bondi and Noem every other episode. Lazy.

A podcaster, finance guy and guy who served in first admin for, oh, I think 12 days, posited, maybe he actually knows, that Enigma is an anagram. I looked it up and one of the words that Enigma unjumbled becomes is A minge. Google it. Kinda makes “enigmas never age” not so mysterious.

We get it. You hate Stephen Colbert. Move on.

Like Olbermann’s political and sports analysis with his dry sense of humor and never holds back. Value his reporting even if he’s rough around the edges with some of his contemporaries. He’s basically the Larry David of political journalists. He’s an acquired taste but always delivers analysis we need to stand up against this regime.

The opening part is exhilarating. The “worst person in the world” is usually interesting and satisfying. But I always skip “things I promised not to tell” because it’s never entertaining to listen (over and over and over) to somebody rant about personal grudges. My brain says “let it go, already!” every time. It’s just petty. Going after a talented and good person like Stephen Colbert because you hold a petty grudge is revolting.

Kent can’t figure out why none stars isn’t an option. 😂 Keep fighting the good fight, Kent.

Best political podcast “in the world “!!!!!! Love Keith!! He speaks truth to power and is fearless. He combines humor, drama, history into an enjoyable listening experience. I look forward to Monday and Thursday for his podcast!!

With better hair 🦨

Stop this “having a life” thing and podcast everyday. Radio Free America! Now is the time for Olbermann to come to the aid of this nation!

Because none wasn’t an option.

Keith hasn’t lost his spark. Just as good as the original MSNBC broadcast. Every podcast is a gem.

As a recently transplanted NYer (for family reasons) in SC…unfortunately, I have to claim both Sen. Tim Scott & Sen. Lindsay Graham, along with Rep.Nancy Mace, in DC for me. Your podcasts are helping to fortify my resolve in being a part of change here in SC. You credited NC for electing Tim Scott but it’s really SC !

The only funny thing I ever heard this guy do was when he did a bit on the Shamwow guy beating up a hooker.

I just learned of this podcast. I use to love Countdown. He reminds me a bit like Jean Shepherd. He Is a bit biting which is more than appropriate. He gets better every day! I continue to listen but you never know when he’ll have a new show. Get a schedule man.! I still really link the show but there is no schedule. It could be every other day of once every 5 days. How about a little bit of reliability. What is the program schedule?

You outdid yourself today. Enjoyed it waaaay too much.

Don T.’s Inferno Thanks for the sanity, KO!

The democrat states must form an NATO type treaty where they take the responsibility for declaring their independence from this corrupted MAGA administration.

This is just the best podcast ever both Informative and entertaining!

Yes, please. Thank you!

Love this “Breaking Away” reference and respect to Paul Dooley… 🚙🚖🚗

Moronic podcast

Thank you! Keep doing what you’re doing. 💙

He has legit brain damage.

Keith Olbermann’s podcasts provide the clearest insight into today’s political scene than any other news source I know of. Keith’s perceptive, outspoken, humorous, abrasive, sarcastic, and truth-filled podcasts provide a fresh breath of air into how to view today’s alarming political circumstances. I always gain important insights that provide a guidepost in my understanding of how to respond to many of the troubling events we are subject to on a daily basis. Thank you, Keith. It would be an honor to have lunch with you sometime.

As always top of the game, I consider you as a journalist the pinnacle of today’s best a that’ limited group. As always never miss an episode 👍🏽👍🏽⚖️🇺🇸

From ESPN, MSNBC, GQ YouTube series podcasts, I've always enjoyed his work. But when he shills for wealthy friends (twice it turns out) using a family dog and a little boy, all credibility vanishes. This happened during the "Every Dog Has It's Day" segment from the 05/12/25 podcast. Checked GoFundMe. Then looked up Andrew Blauner. His LinkedIn profile contains a photo of Mr. Blauner with sweet Smiles. According to The NYT, he's married to Jill Furman, a Broadway producer. Considering the positions they have and their listed addresses in NYC where they did or currently do live, it would seem they both have achieved a great deal in their lives. Granted, I have no direct knowledge of their current financial situation, but it would appear they are able to cover sweet Smiles' vet bill without GoFundMe or KO. I understand helping friends, but isn't there another family he could help who also dearly love their own Smiles but are going to lose their precious friend because they actually lack the money to cover the vet bill.

Mr. Olbermann thank you for your candor. You’re top on our list of truth tellers. Please be careful because the people you’re taking on are evil and they will stop at nothing to gain more power. If something bad happens to you we’d lose a hero but won’t be able to do anything about it. Look at Alexei Novalny and all the others who were murdered, in a country that supposedly, has free elections. I’m sure you and Rachel are tops on their list. Please, please take some measures to protect yourself in case something happens to you. In pre-emptive writings and videos too. This world is a better place because you’re in it. In love and light. Alex. Watts No need to post this if you prefer.

Thank you for the inside stories. I’ll never forget Rachel’s sheepish visage when she spoke about Joy Reid. Thanks for clarifying what actually happened at MSNBC. Shameful - they ruined their talent line-up.

Keith is the best!

Shocking and Hilarious. The shows are always entertaining and 9x out of 10 the sone what differently then I did. I like that. Pro tip. Governor Evers last name pronounced like version, not like even.

Face the truth. Don’t be offended, It’s all good. Keith is the man.

Keith remains the best broadcaster in politics. He is the Obi-wan to Rachel’s Leia Skywalker. If we ever have a trustworthy mainstream news show again it should be Keith and Rachel running it!

Have been a fan for decades, Keith! Just want to say I do disagree with you on something. Jon Hamm IS NOT a nice guy. He participated in the violent hazing of a pledge at his fraternity in 1990 when he was 20, leading to the pledge’s injuries and withdrawal from school, in addition to the shuttering of that fraternity chapter. Boo! Otherwise, keep up the excellent work!

Keep up the good work Keith! You’re one of the few things in this insane world that keep me going in this crazy time!

It used to be fun to laugh at how deranged Keith gets. His hysteria is hilarious. His hyperbole is hypnotic. It’s moving past the playful point. He has full blown lost his mind.

Great great the best

He got me through the Bush years and he is just about the only news source I can tolerate during our current national nightmare. He is ALWAYS right. His insights are sharp. His sense of humor makes me feel like I am not alone with my despair. All in all he is a national treasure and the fact that he isn’t the marquee pundit on a network or cable news station is idiotic.

Keith Olbermann’s podcast, “Countdown,” aspires to be a beacon of incisive political commentary but instead flounders in a sea of self-indulgence and redundancy. Listeners are subjected to meandering monologues that often rehash the same grievances without offering fresh insights or solutions. The once-compelling “Worst Persons in the World” segment has devolved into predictable name-calling, lacking the wit and substance it once possessed. Olbermann’s tendency to prioritize his personal vendettas over objective analysis undermines the credibility of the podcast. Episodes frequently feel like echo chambers, with little to no engagement with differing perspectives, resulting in a one-dimensional narrative that alienates listeners seeking balanced discourse. In an era where audiences crave nuanced and thought-provoking content, “Countdown with Keith Olbermann” disappoints by offering little more than a platform for its host’s unchecked diatribes. It’s a missed opportunity for meaningful dialogue, leaving listeners yearning for substance over spectacle. Also, he has terrible fashion sense.

I’m so glad Mr. Olbermann is doing what he does best; calling out corruption and standing up to the rich and powerful.

I look forward to hearing from Keith

Mr Olbermann. I know you can’t do a whole podcast on this person. But please let us hear your take on Bill Maher, who over the last few years has had many right wing nutjobs and insurrectionist on his show. Giving them a platform to spread lies and dangerous commentary. Maybe, worse person. Thank you you are doing a VERY valuable podcast Thanks for doing that.

I’m a satisfied, long time viewer/listener. I’d only drop the cheesy music and sound effects and replace the cartoon show image with an actual photo. Thanks for your insight.

I think Keith “s podcast is the best on News!

I’m glad that Sen Schumer did not shut down the government. Trump and musk want a government shut down. They would decimate the government while it is down. They would shut down the courts. They would furlough all the workers for months and months. Billionaires do not need the federal government. Trump and musk would have no motivation to bring the government back up. The Democrats had to choose between two terrible choices. The government shutdown could have had such horrific consequences, it could not be risked. Right now, the Fed Courts are open every day to push back on Trump and musk. In fact, they restored employment to thousands of workers in the last few days. Thank you for your show. I’m a regular listener.

My least favorite part of your podcast has always been Friday with Thurber. I’m sorry to see it back again. I know it holds a special meaning for you.

You are all sick with trump derangement

Mr. Olbermann podcast is my go to for truth and facts. It’s twice a week so I countdown the days until I hear his voice of reason and knowledge. I highly recommend to everyone to listen!

Thank you Keith Olbermann - always providing sharp political analysis. We need more Congress people like Al Green. So far the democrats have shown unsatisfactory work-Democracy is being destroyed and yet dems display an unwillingness to defend it. Wearing pink & holding paddles was ridiculous. If you want to know how to handle the regime, listen to Keith Olbermann’s podcast.

I remember listening to the brilliant, outspoken Keith when he was on MSNBC, during the Bush years and was so delighted when I found his podcast. He hasn’t changed and never should!

Why this guy has people who listen to him is one of the mysteries of life. Might be the most hateful person in the country today.
