Fever Dreams should continue!
It’s ridiculous that The Daily Beast is shutting down Fever Dreams. This show is in my top five and is a “must listen” podcast every week. Figure it out!

I didn’t have time to listen to your stupid show anyway. Now I’m going somewhere to cry.

Revive New Abnormal
Please replace Danielle with Kelly on The New Abnormal. I used to like the show and listened regularly but DM is intolerable due to her screaming, swearing and irrationality. I will miss Fever Dreams.

Sad that Fever Dreams is ending. Truly one of the most informative podcasts about right wing nonsense. Will miss it dearly.

Must listen
I look forward to this podcast every week. I also read both of the hosts’ books ( listened to Will’s audiobook) and really appreciated how deep they go into this crazy world we are all navigating.

Reading texts?
You read on the show and laughed at Alex Jones’ text messages. When will you do a show reading the Podesta emails?

Interesting but slow down!
Why does it seem like everyone is trying to speak fast like nervous- sounding Ben Shapiro? I think Shapiro talks fast because he thinks it makes him sound intelligent when it really betrays insecurity. I wouldn’t use him or any other fast talker as a model. Fast talkers generally sound like salesmen trying to scam or overwhelm you. Slower talkers emanate confidence as well as honest deliberation. Slow down!

There is only 1 condiment for hotdogs and that is mustard.

Seriously! Slow Down
If his book is paced and edited and compressed like this show it will be unreadable!
C’mon! Turn off the processing, slow down the pace and speak like a human being.

Good content, distracting style
I like the show, but every pause in every sentence is edited out to such an extent that it’s the only thing I can focus on. Let the conversation breathe a bit, guys.

Thom Hartmann
Don’t worry Kelly & Will! Thom Hartmann isn’t a tighty whitey MAGA troll, he’s pretty progressive!

Dragons Fly Together
This podcast is how I learned that “Baby Q” is literally one of my ex’s bffs from high school. He may be the most famous person from RRHS class of 2009 and I am FULLY embarrassed to have known him. What a world we live in. Anyways, thanks for the depressingly hilarious info Fever Dreams. Keep Austin weird… I guess.

Solid content, interesting guests. Appreciate you guys digging into the mud to keep your listeners informed.

Interesting, but slow down
Very interesting content, but wow, slow down. Whenever I listen I have to check to see that I have it running at normal speed because all the hosts and guests talk incredibly fast

Receipts and Testosterone
Many toxins, including BPA found in receipt paper, are endocrine disrupters. Plastics leach synthetic estrogens, which we discovered in the 80’s while studying breast cancer (their control groups were growing as quickly as the experimental groups because the plastic petri/peach tree dishes were leaching estrogens). Heat increasing leaching. Happy to provide evidence, but it’s well studied. Try a PubMed search.

Will talks too fast!
This is a great podcast; it’s always informative and entertaining. That being said, Will! You are great, but could you talk a little slower? Please? You’re the best. Thank you for making this podcast.

Oh my god dude like oh my god bro
Good show but annoying production and terrible music. Way too much treble and that stupid guitar riff can F right off.

I like the glaze of angry
The mind bending crap coming from the right is hard to digest without emotion.
As someone that has sacrificed for this country I can’t even express the anger I have with what’s going on. I know when I get angry I get stupid. Listening to someone else that gets where I’m coming from is nice. In a way, I appreciate the delivery of the show even more than the information.

Fever Dreams
The interview with the Kimmy Schmidt actress was awful. I like the podcast in general, but this interview was horrible!

Anxiously awaiting Will S return
I am close to unsubscribing FD because the slow-mo torture of listening to AS thinly veiled anger at everyone / everything is exhausting…Dude, what is wrong with you!

Love it but room for improvement
Absolutely love Will Sommer’s work, and listen to every single podcast he appears on, and every single episode of this podcast with Will is great. Without Will tho, it doesn’t always stand-up to the quality I’ve come to expect, and it becomes a bit too much of a “dude” talk show. What we don’t need in this space is more male dominated podcasts being “bros.” The other primary host also isn’t as informed nor as Leftist as Will, so I’ve just resolved to only listening to episodes with Will. Really devastated he’s going on a month hiatus with the pod, but I’ll be here when he returns! Hopefully the other hosts can do better and push themselves to take this as seriously as the primary investigative journalist driving this podcast, does.

Fever Dreams is accurate
These guys dive deep into the alternative reality of crazy right wingers and survive to tell the tale without drinking the Kool aid. Always entertaining and informative

My morning commute is so much fun on Wednesdays
If a podcast about right-wing craziness is sharp and funny enough to inform me and to make me laugh out loud frequently, then it has truly got something amazing going on. I think the hosts are great - smart, hilarious, and thorough -though I worry about their mental health having to delve so perceptively and deeply into this ridiculous upside-down world. Are you guys ok? I hope so, because you are great at what you do. Thanks!

Perfection
Your podcast is one of the only political podcasts I can still listen to after the 2020 election. Love the new abnormal too. Listening to the episode on NRA. I thought they were GD broke!! They just sent my crazy still Trumpy brother a jacket!! Of course they asked him for a “donation” but he has already spent all his limited disposable income on trump 2024 swag. He’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he’s my baby brother none the less. I keep hoping once his brain tumor is removed he will wake up to how he has been grifted by Trump. I’m not kidding, he has a brain tumor.

Fun show!
I love all podcasts critical of the Qanon phenomenon. I look forward to it every week. The guitar intro doesn’t bother me like it seems to other reviewers on here. I wish the show was longer. It’s edited weirdly. The vocals almost overlap with themselves. I guess it needs to be condensed for the kids.
Love Stalker
Come on
I generally like your show but this is the second time I’m unsubscribing. The glib crassness of using the phrase “cornholing a child” to indicate child rape is just too inhuman and obnoxious.

Fun show
Welcome back Will, now I miss Kelly though. Fun show for when you just need a laugh or a respite from it all. Also, the Spencer Ackerman interview was great even though it was far from hilarious.

Re: Joe Carnahan interview
Not as interesting or amusing as previous episodes: speaking of fanboy reviews….

Stealing Chapo valor
The Daily Beast tries to reach young progressives with “edgy” podcast, but fails miserably.

This jury member can’t decide
I am not sure whether I am more horrified about some of the things going on with the loony toons/fringe element now overwhelmingly in charge of the GOP brought to bright light on this podcast or the arrogant East coast views pervasive in ultra liberal views of some of the things said on this podcast remind me of HRC during the 2016 campaign. Both are…disturbing. Come to Ohio and sit in the diners with Biden voters for the next 3 years. Until all media have major hubs in the middle of the country- we have lost America.

Two episodes later..
This show was a great delight to me every time it popped up in my feed.. I believe that may be the case again one day, but as of now - I am at a loss for words. Swins anxiety over spending some time without his homie Will had me cut the first new episode short.. then the fall of Afghanistan took place. What followed was the most childish episode that could be imagined about one of biggest humanitarian catastrophes of our time, as it only begins to unfold. I have a thousand things to say.. but I'll leave it at that.

NSA watching frozen dinner boy
Wondering if Trump’s pick to oust Mark Sanford in SC, Katie Arrington, could be Tucker’s source. She won against Sanford, but lost to Cunningham, for which Trump rewarded her with a cyber position at the Pentagon. She is on leave currently and stripped of her security clearance for leaking some sort of intel.

Pretty funny
I love the info they cover. They are surprisingly funny

Just one thing
I really love this podcast except for the opening music, which may be the worst thing I have ever heard.
