    My source of sanity!
    I subscribe to your YouTube channel and love that if I miss a show I can go back to it! I love you can be authentic and look more forward to his writings on Substack!
  • MyFeedback2U
    Now more than ever!
    We need Lemon-Aid to get thru these unique and indisputably repulsive times. Thanks for stepping up on behalf of our country.
  • MidwestShae
    Enough
    Encouraging a victim state of mind isn’t helping us POC at all.
  • Lunatunes4All
    So good!
    Don Lemon is so good at what he does. He makes sense, is not hyperbolic, brings a human element to the inhuman actions of the monsters occupying OUR White House. Thanks so much Don!
  • Fangirl from Indiana
    Sorely missed
    I have been lost since Don was taken off of CNN. He literally was the one person that got me through the pandemic in 2020 thru 2021. I miss that 10 PM slot for two hours and all the wonderful guest speakers he’d have on. It’s good to have you back Don!
  • No to slavery
    Don or a brick wall?
    It’s hard for me to say which provides better information, and which has the most knowledge, very close.
  • Super Earnin
    Don is amazing
    I am so glad that your podcast is doing so well. I love how you tell the news honestly and with no bias. Please continue to shine!!!!

    The Real Deal
    I love you Don Lemon. You are a truth teller. I miss you on CNN. I stopped looking at that news outlet. Everyone out there in the listening world. Stopped watching those news outlets that don’t tell the truth about the United States and the world.
  • CUSIN
    Great Podcast
    I love this post cast as it tells it like it is
  • Suzy_757
    Finally!
    I just found the show due to your appearance with Reid squared ( Joy and Jaque). I’ve always loved your shows. Im so happy that you can now give your editorials and news we need to know without the constraints of the big networks.
  • Tiaralala123

    You’re absolutely correct Don. Turn the tv off!

    BORING!!!!!
    Don has no real content then to try and phrase what everyone else says negatively…… just a difference of option Don… not an evil monster you are slaying
  • Ebony💙💙💙
    Thank You Don!!!
    The only place where I will get my news. Don tells it like it is. I’m working to take care of myself by not overdosing with the Trumps administrations blow by blow because let’s face it he keeps the crazy antics going. I turn to Don to get updated for the day and keep it moving. Thanks Don for all you do!!!

    Speaks The Facts
    I enjoyed watching Don Lemon on CNN and I was deeply saddened when he was no longer on CNN! Rarely do I watch CNN. I’ve come to this platform to stay informed. I like your style Don Lemon!
  • Nik21king
    I’ve been watching Don Lemon for years!!!
    I’m so glad you found your space in independent media. There are only a few trusted podcasts I will listen to, that delivers the news and truths to their audience. Outside of Joy Reid, i no longer watch traditional media. And I will be very intentional of what and how much news I consume with the 47th president in office. Glad you’re back!
  • Colonial88trojaN
    Too much audience engagement
    Half of every episode is Don talking to and reacting to comments on TikTok. I don’t subscribe to hear random internet comments. Please leave it to a dedicated section or the end of an episode.
  • Matt CKABC

    Hard to lesson to a desperate person.
  • Frank OPSG
    More lefty propaganda just super disingenuously done
    Don Lemon's podcast seems to be nothing more than a regurgitation of the left's propaganda echo chamber. Critics have pointed out that it's filled with content that aligns strictly with anti-Trump and anti-conservative sentiments, suggesting it serves more as a mouthpiece for the Democratic party rather than providing balanced journalism. The podcast has been accused of spreading narratives that are perceived as inauthentic and disingenuous, with some arguing that Lemon himself lacks authenticity and intellectual rigor in his approach to news and discussion. One caveat to consider is that if you're looking for a place to hear all the new narratives or "lies" as some might call them, that the left is currently propagating to the public, this podcast might be your go-to source. However, Don Lemon's influence would be considerably more dangerous if he didn't come across as so fake and disingenuous in his delivery.

    A Merry Merry Christmas to you and yours. I so liked hearing you and Chris when you were on CNN and now I listen to you on your own out here in podcast land. I’ll be honest, I’m not looking forward to the coming new year, but I guess we can go on idea that this too shall pass (hopefully). Please know, I continue to listen, because I think you keep it real and tell the truth whether we want to hear it or not. . . And that is exactly why I continue to listen. If the man who would be king, does something good, then I want to know that as well as all the other stuff we’ve come to expect from him. Just keep us in the know on everything that affects us. Thank you.

    The night of the election is a classic. They cannot believe that the rest of the country spoke and they cannot believe that they lost. The “garbage” spoke and won.

    Love you Don
    Please get someone to help you with your audio.

    He’s Back Better!
    I missed Don when he left CNN. This platform is even better to listen to him. So glad he’s back and doing a great job keeping us informed.
  • Mikeozzyyyyyyy
    Listen to an idiot who thinks he is smart
    You have to be pretty terrible to get fired by CNN. It’s amazing how smart and witty he thinks he is but all it proves is that he is a complete idiot.
  • ddoef
    Love you Don!
    Both my husband & I have read your new book, ‘I Once Was Lost’ Loved it! Since then we have been listening to your show via our podcast platform. Thank you so much for helping us from jumping off the ledge! We are ole folk ‘LEMONHEADS’! Denise & Ken Newport, Oregon
  • Katherine P Palmira
    I hope Don reads this
    Din, I listen to your shows every day they air, but I am unable to watch live because I am busy at those times, so please know that I am giving you thumbs up when I hear the podcast. I hope podcast listeners are included in you total viewers. I am so glad you are back, you are much more suited to this independent format. Keep up the great work Don!!! Katherine in Austin, TX
  • Danny00034
    Hard to listen to. Very pompous sounding.
    This is harder to listen to than when I would watch him on CNN before he was fired.
  • Moo movie
    Lemony good
    I enjoy this show so much! So informative and interesting guests. Always liked Don on CNN but this is even better by far cause he does whatever he wants. Keep up the good work.
  • NMiddle2
    Enjoyable and easy to listen to
    Easy to listen to and well produced. Like the guest interactions.
  • Team Cricket
    9/17 episode is FIRE
    You had this almost 50 hippie white woman rollin! And when I wasn’t laughing at your foolishness- I was getting some serious education on reparations, black history, black INVENTORS! (Eli & the Cotton Gin-lol) and essentially the most simplest answer to why racism exists — MIC DROP i am hard crushin on D Lemon! And I’m thankful for the knowledge and truth
  • Miszbeee
    Glad to have you back!!
    I really enjoy listening to Don with all the news and entertainment he brings as well as interviews. I think there is room for improvement with the volume of this podcast as there are times when volume is completed muted for several seconds or way too loud. Overall, I enjoy and look forward to each episode! Keep up the good work!
  • Nicknamename-nick
    Garbage show

  • i'm jusu saying....
    JD Vance drag dressing
    Has a so called “Boomer” I take great offense that your one guest generalize that all “Boomers think a certain way about drag! I am 65, I have never nor will I ever judge anyone on how they dress, who they love what pronoun they want to be called.

    He’s back!!
    Donnnnnnn!!! I’m so glad you’re back, i’m sorry i’m a bit late but I’m really enjoying your new show. I like the guests you have brought on, keep it coming. You were literally my favorite anchor on that network and completely stopped watching after you left. I just wanted to stop and give you some love on here. Wishing you all the best on this new journey.
  • Jas24h

    The most entertaining man. Miss seeing you on TV but boy do you keep me SEATED with this podcast. Keep up the great work.
  • sidhskabruxb
    Candace wrecked you
    She came with specifics and you replied with nothing every time. She wants to continue to learn while you stay in a blue bubble. Pathetic. I came to hear her and see if you had any retorts..nope! Disappointed.
  • smuck23
    Awful
    Time to start charging 1 billion dollars for podcasting equipment so frauds like don can’t have a platform. Also let’s bring back the f word 😭
  • aliannasans
    Such an arrogant man
    Candace is so intelligent and well spoken. She did such a good job debating this man. He was so condescending and rude towards her and she did not let him win.
