Common Sense with Dan Carlin

Dan Carlin gives a very straigh forward and logical understanding to today's world. He is a pleasure to listen to and entertains you while giving you ideas to ponder. If you don't listen to him, you are missing Common Sense! Updated 5/2024: I miss these shows as his approach and insight challenged my thought and kept me from getting sucked in to the mainstream media and social media hammering me with their nonsense most of the time.

Winston Churchill would delightedly slap you with his wet cigar. Remember... Dan typically brings us a unique and empathetic view of the poor damned souls caught up in the gears of war/history. Having listened to Dan before I know he could easily fill 6-10 hours of air time discussing chaotic perspectives to our war torn current events. Yet the podcast feed remains empty? What could be the cause of such a shirking of duty? This honestly puzzles me as he deliberately takes controversial positions to enlighten others and I personally believe, as a bonus fly through the opposing flak whilst quietly flipping a mental bird to his objectors. The stars have aligned and the current political narrative is a nice hanging curve ball asking to be, well you know Carlinized….

Having listened to CS going back to the early Obama period, I feel like my positions evolved in parallel with Dan’s for many years but now the current geopolitical landscape has caused me to seriously question my own previously held views. Regardless of what positions Dan would now hold, the fundamental decency of him is that he changes his mind when the facts change, and for that he has been a wonderful influence for me. I miss his commentary and I hope he returns to CS eventually.

The title Common Sense is funny because Dan Carlin literally has none. Despite his deep knowledge of history, his perspectives are just the run of the mill Leftist Dogma. It’s a reminder that he is first and foremost just another elitist journalist.
