    Cost
    I never paid for a podcast before. My bank thought the charge was fraud.

    News with appropriate levels of swearing?? Yes please! AG and DG are delightfully funny, hopeful, and I love the good trouble we get into!

    It’s News, With Swearing. What else do you need?

    Puzzling
    This was a shockingly shallow and rediculous podcast... I thought I'd give it a chance as a moderate, but quickly was shocked at the content... especially discussing "who would pick a fight with AOC or Crockett".... thank God I only wasted 15 minutes on this garbage.... unreal
  • Emmylou2029
    Love them!!!
    They’re such a good spot in the day everyday. They are honest and always so gracious when they get corrected. No one’s perfect but they’re the best kind of imperfect ❤️

    As a Fed in troubled times this pod cast gives me life everyday. I laugh, I cry, I am empowered and I know how to fight now. Thank you AG and DG.

    Pronunciation
    I adore you Beans queens! Never miss your podcast. Just a small matter: Kootenai is pronounced “koot-knee.”

    I start every morning with the beans. A huge thank you to these heroes of Democracy! I am so grateful that I found the beans. I truly love these heroes of good news segments.

    Thank you
    This podcast is so smart, funny and informative. I look forward to it every week day. I appreciate the information, the heart and the passion for this country. This has been a difficult month, having Allison and Dana in my ears, have helped. I appreciate all you do.

    Keeps me (somewhat) sane in terrifying times
    I truly don’t know what I would do without these ladies and their fantastic guests. They give hope in a time that feels hopeless without lying or sugar coating. They are kind and funny and heartfelt and wise. They give good news and action items I can do from my car. I love you guys.
  • Mom Arin
    DG is hilarious!
    AG was on vacation this week, and DG did a masterful job as the only host. AG and DG are so good together, and am blown away by how well she held down the fort!
  • Richard Miami Beach
    Great Work
    I can’t believe how hard these women work. I so appreciate waking up every morning to hearing The Daily Beans without fail. Very comforting to hear articulate, outspoken coverage of the news with compassion for all and frankly, the news often merits a little swearing. Thought good news was corny at first-now LOVE hearing it!

    Inspirational
    I’ve been a fan of this podcast and its sister podcasts, Clean Up on Aisle 45 and (now) Unjustified, for about a year. I appreciate how Allison distills the news out of Washington with a sprinkle of language appropriate to the depth of outrage I feel. In addition to the good news which ends each episode, she’s added a Good Trouble segment. I’m now a part of a women’s group committed to doing good trouble. I’m also sharing with this group and in a thread on Nextdoor, Allison’s Good Trouble. So many thanks to podcasters and others who aren’t bowing to the man who would be king. If we’re a true democracy in 4 years, it will be due to people like Allison Gill and Dana Goldberg.

    Ear harm
    Love you like crazy!!!Thank you for all these shows. Please reconsider the stressful Sounds at start of unjustified. They steal the words. Cannot understand the sentences. Is it just me?
  • crustacean99
    Love the Beans!
    My favorite daily podcast without giving me additional anxiety, because todays news cycle does that every hour. Love the good trouble segment. Thanks to AG and DG for always trying to make a dreadful news day a little more palatable!
  • Alamedacrows
    Warning
    Don’t listen to this podcast. It’s very liberal and progressive. Don’t listen if your views are center left or moderate left. This is a one sided podcast which the Democrats are also breaking the law.

    Daily Beans
    I love this podcast, they inform and educate without scaring me.
  • Woofiesmommy
    Love the show
    Just started listening this week. Wanted to pass this on to you about how Nielsen gathers data if you don’t have one of their devices. Nielsen uses data from smart TVs to measure what people watch on TV. There are settings on your smart TVs to disable their ability to track your usage. I hope this helps.

    Best news as it relates to politics
    The Daily Beans gives the best scoop on the news as it relates to politics and policy with adult language that I am here for! (With a nod to pet pics and stories - here for that, too!) Love AG and Dana on the Beans!
  • Where is Waldo
    Best way to get the news.
    Listen once and you will be hooked! Tell everyone about The Daily Beans!
  • pandabear108
    Best news podcast available
    If you are tired of the mainstream media (and even public radio!) sucking up to the oligarchs and fascists that now control our country, this is the podcast for you. These women are brilliant, funny, and irreverent. They also end their show with positive notes from listeners so you don’t end up completely depressed by the news. Listen and subscribe to support these amazing women!
  • burfino
    Have been listening forever but never rated.
    I don’t tend to do this much, but I owe you guys this much. You are a light in my day and I’ve spread the word as much as I can, which tends to be my way to give back. There are a lot of folks like this I’m sure, so just know the silent support has been there and will continue. Keep doing what you do.
  • FigKiki1
    Best, Brightest & Funniest

    Nailing it
    I’ve been listening for a long time, and I’m thrilled for the surge in your listenership. The pod is of such quality, empathy, and truth. Thank you.
  • OkayLady
    Welcome!
    Patron and two year listener happy to welcome everyone new to the swearing news we need. what else possibly is appropriate in these times except deserved cursing? and of course the daily good news that we all need.
  • Fioretatuare
    The best and most brilliant
    Allison Gill is the most authentic, brilliant and informative of them all. She, along with each of her co-hosts, inform and educate without the negative mental byproduct. Co-hosts Dana, Andy, Pete and Harry are just wonderful. Thank for my favorite podcasts.
  • Oldhellokittyfan

    Get away from msm, listen to a couple of comedians dishing some heavy stuff with a light touch. Creating a great community too!
  • ACHiker2000
    Morning go to!
    I can’t remember how or when I discovered the daily beans, but I’m glad I did!

    Pardon
    Generally enjoy this podcast. But, but but. . . You’re so wrong on Hunter pardon.

    The News You Need and Nothing Else
    I am so glad I found this show and the other shows that Allison Gill is presenting: Jack and Clean Up on Isle 45. I love she and her co-hosts summarize the daily news, usually political but not always, and gives the context that the MSM doesn’t present. I feel much better informed and most of the time reassured about the state of our Union. Now more than I ever I appreciate honest reporting, with critical context, a fair measure of swearing(Yes!) and the good news from other listeners. I highly recommend this podcast and all of her other ones as well. I am now apart of the Illuminati and proud! Check it out
  • All taken😊
    Thank you, you two absolutely wonderful women
    This is how I’m seeing and feeling about the U.E. upping their commitment to Ukraine: I’m so tired of the U.S. acting like they’re the world’s savior. This will not only help Ukraine. It will help build morality and responsibility for all the countries of the EU. Who wouldn’t let the U.S. pay the lion’s share of defending other countries if they keep doing it? I see a possibility of a more equal playing field in world affairs. I would like to see the U.S. as a good and equal democracy in the world, replacing the stance of being the greatest and all powerful. That’s so passé and wrong ☀️☮️☀️ Thank you, E.U. It’s real time to be a democracy, that has become a mockracy. Getting rid of Trump and his ilk is a whole other topic (don’t get me started)❤️ I am a 70 year old mom and grandma. Been a Democrat since my first vote in ‘72 for George McGovern. The year the voting age was changed to include 18 year olds and up. You go girls! ❤️❤️❤️

    Free listening no longer an option
    The time has come for me to pay for honest media. I was at the minimum patron support level but you are necessary. I have increased my level of support and happy to do so. Thank you kindly. You are a difference maker and we will remember that. You and Dana are my heroes today and forever. I’m an old lady hippie, atheist, happily married for 47 years, childless and have 3 cats. I fly the American flag every day because they don’t own the freaking flag.
