  • 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.
  • SAB133
    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!
  • Shaolin D boy
    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.
  • Matt_Phx
    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.

    Thursdays are the best IMO!
  • 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.
  • Sooooooannoyedsms
    Always engaging and informative
    Really enjoyed your conversation regarding techno feudalism with Ricardo Montauban today!!! 🦨
  • 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.
  • mantis eats
    Good objective truth
    Good reporting
  • Eddie610267
    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.
  • livrstrat
    rhetorically incoherent
    Tucker Carlson for leftists.
  • Run on sentence king
    Depth and sense
    Absolutely wonderful to listen to history, politics, economics and up to date social commentary fit together at instant recall speeds while taking all comers Gish galloping into that knowledge minefield left limping back to the original and unsupported points they tried to run from. Bravo folks, King of run on sentences.
  • Zhongsense
    Koolaid for ideologues
    Look elsewhere
  • CS_33_88
    Zero stars
    Deeply, deeply (deeply) unimpressive thinkers.
  • Tedddyjtxs
    Dishonest Podcast
    Really dishonest segment with Jessie Single. The hosts seem so confident but on knowing so little about the topic.
  • Filthy Lucre fan
    Lack of rigor.
    Decent enough progressive group think sessions……until they cover a topic/event you are well versed in; revealing their sentiment over details approach to reporting.
  • q anot
    Uhh
    I uhh. I uhh wanted to uhh. I uhh wanted to listen but uhh. For umm some reason uhh. I found it uhh. Uhhnoying
  • Biggixyz
    Hilarious
    Listening to you guys roast Giuliani was the highlight of my week. And that laugh I’m the background! So genuine. Please don’t ever stop what you’re doing. I love this show. - Niles
  • lucywightman
    So much to love
    Wish Sam Seder formed clear statements and questions. So many important topics, guests and urgencies but the pressured, sharp rambles and stumbles cause me to click off.
  • Jerm'n
    Impressed
    Thanks for pushing back on Grin’s l highly questionable ab leak takes. It’s easy to take on crazies and political rivals but not so much with otherwise friendly voices. First time listening and it won’t be the last.
  • 000000Anthony000000
    Informative analysis
    my daily news and politics podcast excellent analysis of everything politics, history, etc
  • Winstonatlas
    Wow! Amazing program! So glad I found it!
    A daily deep dive into a topic that is in the news followed by a second half that is fun and more of a loose format with live call ins. An absolute must hear/watch for anyone who wants politics and news in a refreshing format!
  • Normal90’sAmerican
    Delusional leftist that gaslight everything
    I spent years listening to these Commies before realizing they lie about everything. Don’t fall for it. They are wrong about everything from economics, Marxism, elections, crime rates, etc
  • Beenlit
    Yikes
    Awful show

    Emma I Love You
    Emma Vigeland is absolutely wonderful as cohost, she is so funny and smart, I hope she starts getting more recognition from fans of MR!!
  • Wheres The Gabbagoo
