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.

Dan Carlin does not miss
Dan has help set my political compass
I first started listening to Common Sense around episode 87. Or was it 78? That would’ve been sometime in the mid to late 2000s. I of course came across Dan like many other followers, through Hardcore History, then eventually found myself listening to Common Sense. Sometimes months or even years would go by before I would pick back up to listen to his latest show.
Now that Dan has been releasing CS shows less than 1x every 6 months, I found myself flipping back and listening to old shows. He often talks to listeners that might be listening to the recording in the current time when the show was released or further down the road into distant or not so distant the future….
Well here I am, in the future listening to some of these older shows for the first time or 2nd or 3rd time and I’m finding his words have deeper meaning now than they have had when the episode first aired.
we need dan back.
Times are crazy and its hard to find a trustworthy opinion on complicated events. Dan provides insightful viewpoints that can cut through the noise of media bias. Please come back. 🙏
