The Rubin Report

It's refreshing to witness long-form interviews in a congenial environment, where the goal seems to be mutual understanding and rather than destroying the other person's credibility. If one wants to understand the perspective of political opposites, or wants to make up their own minds about prominent cultural figures, this is a pretty good place to go. If one comes pre-loaded with belief that inquiry is approval, to criticize ideas is to weaken them, or that to allow others to express wrong ideas is itself wrong, this is not a good place to go. If you like hearing opinions you disagree with, culturally taboo perspectives, or feel stuck in an ideological echo chamber, you'll enjoy this. If not, you're gonna have a bad time.

TL;DR: it's good for armchair philosophers

Dave's got a great format going & has many interesting guests on. But, there's a lot of fluff (imho), guests who espouse the same opinions - he makes no secret of his preference for fellow atheists - and give me headaches from eye rolling.

I enjoy listening to calm open discourse, no matter the political affiliation, or opinions of the participants. I could care less about Dave Rubin's personal opinions due to the fact that he enables these discussions in a respectful and intelligent manner to the guests; this is a rare quality these days, and is all that matters in the end with an interview-based talkshow.

If you read through some of the other reviews, a lot of the negative ones focus in on how horrible it is that he would sit down and talk to people that they want to de-platform.

And that is kind of the reason I watch him. I'm sick and tired of being told who I can hear speak, what I can read, and I just long for someone that has no issue bringing people that he doesn't agree with onto the show...

... And, honestly, that is what the news SHOULD be doing.

Dave is one of the best interviewers around and it has been most interesting watching him evolve as he increasingly engaged with people on the right where he has found open arms and REASONED VIEWS.

So sad the leftist cancel creeps and trolls who inhabit these spaces. They contribute nothing to the discourse found in Dave Rubin's show. It is obvious that they have not actually watched the show and the the inability to do anything but spew.

So glad I live in my own home instead of my parents basement like most trolls found on this site. It would be nice if they actually had something to contribute.
