Common Sense with Dan Carlin is an independent look at politics and current events from popular New Media personality Dan Carlin.

Carlin's self-described "Martian" viewpoints infuse each episode with a political alien's take on the world around us and the problems it faces. It's a smart, unique (and admittedly U.S.-centric) program that doesn't dumb down the information or analysis for the slowest person in the room.

Carlin's rapid-fire staccato voice has been compared to William Shatner after too many espressos. That, plus his penchant for making everyone in the audience mad at him eventually, makes for a witch's brew of a podcast that is not for everyone. But for those craving a deeper intellectual analysis, a less partisan approach and unpredictable outside-the-box revelations, Common Sense with Dan Carlin is a feast for the mind.

A lifeline to sanity

In America as Dan, in Brazil as myself, or wherever else. Whether you agree with him or not, it is refreshing to see an articulated soul expressing the very anxieties that the world community have been feeling in these changing times. The Dan Carlin's version on Sanity is a good reason to believe that we can still rely on open discussion and logic. 6/5.

Leftwing Propaganda

This podcast was once good, now it has become Democratic party propaganda and Trump's hysteria.

Former fan of the podcast in Brazil.

Politics like you never heard before

And it's not only if you are an American. Dan's analysis fit perfectly anywhere there ate political parties, conflicting interests and any sort of corruption. Mandatory if you want another view of what goes on in the US and in the world.
