    Only news I can handle
    Since the horrible election of Trumpeta, I just couldn’t handle the news. Only Bob Cesca and guests make me have a little hope and bare to listen to what’s happening. Guests are great and Im soooo happy to have jodi and David on Tuesday tooo. The three of you make me laugh.

    You and Cliff A+
    Love the podcast. Great chemistry with you and cliff and of course Jody.
  • raymo braniac
    Good show but…
    I enjoy Bob’s show a lot as it’s very humorous most nights. Cliff can be very entertaining also with provocative, funny and fearless commentary! The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is the repetitive use of the filler word “again”. On December 17 show it must have been used 100 times. This is way too much for professionals as any toastmasters class would cure you of this habit in 2 months!

    Love the new energy!
  • Space_mission
    New cohost
    Cliff won’t let Bob get a word in edgewise 😠. Just listened to the latest podcast with Cliff and the back and forth was perfect really enjoyed it!
  • Maiajopup
    Cliff
    Cliff needs to let Cesca talk. Had to stop mid episode. Irritating
  • Toa Afakasi
    Miss Buzz!!!! From Don & Mike days
    It’s The Bob Cesca Show. Will the new guy, Cliff, let Bob get a word in edgewise please? About to bounce.

    One not to miss!
    I have been a listener for years. Bob and his cohosts know their stuff. While I will miss the contributions of Buzz Burbank, he deserves a happy retirement. I’m already enjoying the new energy of the debut of Cliff Schecter.

    2 Hard to Handle
    Losing 2 of the best players -Buzz Burbank and David (T Rex) Ferguson is just too hard to handle! Thank you Buzz for your valuable input over the years. I look forward to your visits. And Please David don’t go! You do make a difference. Thursdays just won’t be the same without you! Bob Cesca, you and your team have gotten me through the toughest of times. Unfortunately here we go again and you are all needed more than ever! Grateful listener.

    Bob and the crew have helped keep me sane in these crazy times.
    Love the show, would subscribe on Patreon if I could but times are dark and the future is uncertain. I’ll miss Buzz.

    My Heart Is Broken
    David, you HAVE made a difference for so many of us. Do what you need to do to stay sane, but please know that you are loved and appreciated.

    Pronunciation
    Majority of the show these days is spent banging on about the donvict. Quit giving him and his followers the satisfaction of owning your airtime. Please.
  • Urwhtusk
    Love that Bob!
    Always good, interesting, informative discussions. I’m a Boomer Trekkie and love those shows with great guests!
  • MsDesKat
    Buzz?
    When did Buzz turn into a mean girl? Seems like his comments are turning into complaints instead of being happy that Democrats are finally feeling optimistic. Oh by the way - it’s PRESIDENT Biden until Inauguration Day, can we remember that?
  • Dirty Bird 66
    Funny and Topical
    Bob and friends always provide an interesting take on current politics.
  • @JTiB
    Read the room guys
    I’ve been enjoyed the show for many years now. Put upon listening to the latest episode speaking about Donald Trump‘s attempted assassination. It really left the bad taste in my mouth. Sometimes you gotta show little sympathy, I get it. Trump isAn A-hole. But some decorum would’ve been nice. With all the rhetoric Trump spews out I understand it must be hard to show sympathy for someone who is a lightning rod for bad behavior. I know doesn’t matter what I say. I’ll keep listening and if something doesn’t sit right with me, I’ll just skip to the next episode, cheers

    Need better warning about Trump audio
    I skipped all the way through mush for brains, like you, for health reasons. Can you tell us how long the clips are so we know how far ahead to skip? I recently lost a longstanding friendship with a now-diehard MAGA. She finally asked why I wasn’t buying what she was saying and I said I don’t waste time on bulls….. I try to listen every day and I do suppose you on Patreon, so thanks to you and Buzz and folks behind the scenes that make rhis fun and informative. Cheers!

    Bob Cesca episode he was nothing January 30, 2024
    Great show today Bob and Buzz enjoy listening to it. Well pirates of again at night. I agree with buzz about Florida politics I think Democrats Mike got elected down here again in Jacksonville Florida. We are like a democratic mayor in May of 2023 she took off of July 1, 2023. I am going to go out on a limb here and say as a Democrats put up a great candidate. Rick Scott might lose the Senate race in 2024. Hopefully that guy is horrible. I would love to see Rick Scott lose this year. Thanks.

    Best progressive podcast in the USA!
    I started listening about a year ago and I never miss a show (or a program, as Bob calls them 😂), including the shadow docket (ha HA!) and the Wednesday interviews. Bob’s spot-on intelligent analysis is educational and delivered with a sense of humor that makes the show loads of fun. Buzz on Tuesdays is the perfect comedy partner with a golden voice. T.Rex on Thursdays has interesting opinions about everything under the sun and Jody occasionally chimes in with a witty remark. I love this podcast!!
  • Carl Sagan is god
    Well-Produced and Hard Hitting
    I love Bob and Chez. Just discovered this show and contribute to their Patreon page. The audio is top notch, and the production value is better than 99% of podcasts. Their political commentary is funny, insightful, and leaves you wanting more show. The show drops twice a week, but soon enough it will be a daily show...cannot wait for that!
  • GHOSTLEE82
    Amazing
    Makes me laugh every time!
  • Spottedleaf22
    Hilarious and astute!
    I’ve been a listener for eight years now!

    Indictment 🇺🇸🙏🏻
    Tuesday “I won the straw poll, better than 85% and then I got this letter from my attorney”. on Sunday. We can’t make it up! 🤣😂
  • $Kevin H$
    Fresh and entertaining!
    Love all of the shows, but I buckle up on Thursday to hear the latest takes from the Goth Ninjas, aka “Spicy” Jody Hamilton and David “T-Rex” Ferguson. You guys are my dream team!

    Bob Cesca Show
    Bob Cesca show is consistently great and entertaining but also informative - especially love the recent episode with Donna Halper.

    Thank you for this interview. I never heard of him and now I will follow him.

    Laughing Until I Cry
    ‘Bob Cesca Show’ Thursday show delivers the latest political news with just enough irreverence to keep me from being overwhelmed by the fragile state of our democracy. Spicy Jody & T-Rex round out the show nicely. Tuesdays with Buzz is always a great discussion often with different perspectives Wednesdays afeature in-depth interviews with a wide variety of guests. Not as many fart jokes as ‘The Stephanie Miller Show’, but nobody’s perfect.
  • cjolly1964
    Awesome show
    Love the show. Can we call MTG Empty G?
  • Cosi-Candel
    Why?
    Democrats, Democrats, Democrats. Why do you always believe and play along? Why are you spreading the lies for them? There is no possibility Biden had documents for six years. They were planted.
  • Opalsglow
    Wonderful show
    I could listen to Bob Cesca for hours, his wit, humor, great radio voice…I do like his co hosts, Buzz is on once a week, and is classy, funny, and another fabulous radio voice, he and Bob work well together. Jody Hamilton is delightful! but she does not get enough chance to speak. David Ferguson, who seems like a nice guy is on with Jody and he takes over the commenting, his filled with the ubiquitous “ like” filler word. Overall its one of my favorite podcasts so I give it a 5 star. I appreciate how Bob gives air time to not yet famous musicians.

    Hey Bob,Take off your animator glasses and watch Star Trek lower decks as the Star Trek fan you are.It’s a hoot and a half,and after strange new worlds it will become your new go to trek series.

    Great job! Keep it up BUT PLEASE work on the historical accuracy!!!! Tell Carlos that, in spite of third parties, Minnesota DID vote for Al Gore in 2000. Besides the District of Columbia(should be a state), Minnesota is the ONLY State that has provided the Democratic Nominee its Electoral Votes in EVERY election since 1972!!!! ONLY and EVERY being the operative words!!!
  • Atizzo
    Thoughtful commentary
    The discussions are always thoughtful and I’ve heard some unique and provocative perspectives on relevant topics that make this podcast well worth a listen.
  • Bill maling
    Bob Cesca show
    I’m a big fan of this podcast. It has humor music and a lot of useful information. I’m a big fan of current events and this show has it all covered. Three times a week is time well spent. Thanks for this great show.
  • K in DMV
    Tune in often
    Bob , Buzz, Jody, and guest give an humorous, candid and entertaining assessment of political news which is otherwise usually mostly very grime
  • WordLord424242
    A must listen
    The best podcast to help keep rational progressives from losing their 'schpedoinkal' during this crazy time. Bob, Jody Hamilton, David Ferguson and Buzz Burbank bring humor, intellect, sanity, great music and fart jokes to counteract the lying red hat world. My week is much more meaningful with them a part of it!
  • etacar11
    Highlight of my week
    Bob’s show has gotten my husband and me through the pandemic. So much great info, news, and commentary. All the love to Bob, Buzz, Jody, and David.
  • AversaS
    Love it
    Just wanted to update my review a few years later that this is still one of the best political podcasts out there - hands down.
  • bigzsh
    Best Podcast Ever
    I’ve been a fan of the show for about 7 years. When I first started listening I thought - I mostly agree with these guys but some of this stuff is a little too far out there for me. Then Trump won and it was remarkable how spot on Bob and Chez were about what Bob now refers to as the USA’s nervous breakdown. While Chez could never be replaced Buzz, Jodie, and TRex are great and help keep the show rolling. Another newer feature is the Wednesday interview show with guest like Malcolm Nance and Mary Trump to name a few. I highly recommend adding the show to your playlist!
  • Working Screenwriter
    I love this show
    This show is so much fun. It feels like sitting around and talking politics with good friends. It’s funny and genuine, and Bob also throws in bonus indie music which is always great.
  • Pinky Panettiera
    Bob is my “P1”
    Great shows, all of them. Fun and insightful. Love it. Love Bob.
  • madreymaestra
    Thanks Bob and team!
    I want to thank you Bob for consistently hosting and producing shows that make me feel so many emotions- sometimes all at once! The last few years have been a political and social nightmare, but you and the team make it not so horrible. Listening to you and Buzz on Tuesdays make me feel happy and assured. The warmth of your friendship and astute political takes are a true treasure. Your Thursday shows with the Goth Ninjas are ones I always so look forward to as well! Jodi is pure fun and I enjoy the woman perspective she brings. David “T-Rex” is just awesome! His soothing voice and contagious laugh obfuscate the sweet, caring and vulnerable heart to which he allows at times the listener to bare witness. I love his Southern phrasing and wicked smart digs. And of course, Bob keeps it all moving so smoothly with his up-to-date talking points and his great ability to add the perfect sound effect for any occasion. Doo-dah, doo-dah! 5 stars for the Bob Cesca Show! Thank you all for what you do- keep on keepin’ on!

    Entertaining and Informational!
    I have been listening to this podcast for several years now. Bob and Chez’s dry humor and spin on the daily news and politics was a refreshing look into the world that I later would later become addicted to. After Chez’s passing, Bob introduced us to a whole new cast of ‘characters’ and ‘sidekicks’ that would fill the airwaves of our commutes a few days a week. The show is funny, entertaining and informative. The thought leaders tied to the Stephanie Miller Show’s “cinematic universe,” give you exactly what you expect - fart jokes and politics…and this is a good thing for those of us who call themselves political junkies. The ‘Wednesday Interview Show’ is becoming a new favorite stop, and you will want to save these episodes, to come back to listen to again later. In time you’ll find yourself on Bob’s website subscribing to unlock the doors to the ‘Shadow Docket’ and ‘Friday’s After Party’ (featuring Kimberley Johnson from the Start Me Up podcast,) where the dive goes deeper into politics and pop culture. All in all, give it a listen…come for Buzz’s dad jokes and new independent music, but stay for the interesting/informative banter of politics and news. It’s certainly Gen-X and Elder Millennial approved!

    This show got me through lockdown during the Pandemic. The three hosts feel like they could be my friends. Great for pop culture, politics, and laughs. Check it out….
