    Thank you! Great podcast!
    Enjoyed this podcast very much as well as Axios Today. Thanks very much for having it and look forward to more content.
  • LoriDiMaio
    Disappointed
    I love this podcast, but I’m disappointed at how you left out one key issue to the abysmal job report. People who make more money not working won’t want to work. I am well aware that there are people who have genuine reasons for not working. However, there are many not returning to work because they’re making more on unemployment.

    Punctual
    Axios recap delivers insightful interviews on time, and in just the right amount of time. Dan delivers.
  • MylesShank
    Almost a great Podcast
    This is one of the best Podcasts for US current affairs but due to their left-lean, I have to give it two stars. The news should not have another addenda besides informing their listeners. These episodes are incredible 90% of the way until, like clockwork, they close each episode with a biased opinion instead of examining other points of view.

    Dan Primack’s Axios Re:Cap
    Dan’s presentations & choices of topics are spot-on ... I do my colleagues a big favor when I recommend Axios’s content, and Dan’s audio programs in particular !!
  • Q_billy
    Music
    The backround music running over voices is distracting and gives off overproduced
  • Goodhomer1
    Great, informative, and pithy
    By far one of my favorite daily news podcasts. Pithy, succinct, and alway on the edge.
  • ChipParks
    Dan re-cap
    Big Dan fan, love the tone, very straightforward and value extracting questions. Good that Dan brings ppl from both sides of aisle. Keep up the mostly unbiased work.
  • RedheadGal327
    Thanks Dan!
    I love getting my daily “Dan” fix while I walk the dog! The interviews are wonderful and so interesting!
  • tonez hall
    Smart, fast, diverse, accurate
    I don’t miss an episode of this show. It’s quickly risen to my regular afternoon news cast. The host is able to ask great questions, there’s always a moment that makes me smile, and I get informed on things I didn’t hear from anywhere else!!!
  • anonymous0303
    Host’s voice fit for print
    I still don’t know the host’s name. Everything he says sounds like it’s gone through a sock then a tunnel. Every time he announces his name at the beginning of the show, it’s unintelligible. Debra Mack? Dan Berman? Dab Reman? The topics could be interesting. The guests could be interesting? I like hearing what the guests have to say, and I keep hoping they’ll give the host voice coaching or a better mic. Good luck, dude.

    Love the Podcast, Hate the Rewind
    No sense in these rewind episodes. If I want to re-listen to an episode I will simply do that myself. With so much happening right now, new episodes would be great. If you can’t produce new episodes, then just don’t.
  • Troythulu
    By far, my favorite afternoon/evening news show!
    The show’s format is compact, non-sensationalist, and relates the most important story or stories of the day in a way that generally makes for a listening experience that informs without pandering to the audience’s fear or other negative emotions; news that’s only bad when it needs to be, not gratuitously.
  • samaol
    Can we mix up the content?
    Prior to this Tik Tok ban the show did a good job of mixing up the content, now it feels like that’s all that’s talked about. I’m sure there’s more going on in the world than the back and forth of this tech deal. Can we mix up the content?
  • jro1234_
    Long-time listener!
    Long-time listener, but wish you had those Deep Dive links, like how your Axios morning podcast counterpart includes in its show notes for each episode, to read more about the stories.
  • pauly d s
    Prefer the original format
    I’ve stuck with it but pro rata was better. Stop trying to slow dan down. Losing interest...
  • Cliff882
    Strong political leaning and excessive ads
    See title
  • Pickahcu
    Predators from Silicon Valley
    Used to be great until Dan had Jason Calcanis on who participated in a targeted harassment campaign against Taylor Lorenz. Balaji Srinivasan, Paul Graham and Ben Horowitz were all complicit.
  • Jwiebers
    Left behind
    I’ve been looking for an in-depth, unbiased, news source without an agenda. I thought I may have found it but with your newest Axios Recap format came new levels of prophylactic liberal indoctrination. Your recent episodes have become increasingly left leaning leaving me skeptical about your journalistic integrity. For example, the episode on universal basic income never challenged where the money would come from, or how that system would affect personal self-worth, or economic impacts of removing incentive to work. Please have the courage to present all sides. Report the story. Don’t shape the stories to your narrative. I’ll give you a couple more weeks to determine if you’re about news or an agenda.
  • stilenandkin
    Great, but...
    Love the content and listen daily but SO MANY COMMERCIALS for a show under 15 minutes. Not sure how that appeals to the advertiser but it’s annoying as a listener.

    I’ll subscribe when it is not sponsored by Facebook.
  • orsngemike
    Love it!
    A substantive, interesting podcast that runs 10-12 minutes? Sign me up! Wait, I am signed up. Now you sign up!
  • AlexHAce
    Can’t wait!
    Can’t wait for the new show, such an essential part of my day listening to Dan!
  • Casual Lissener
    Hate to see this go
    I loved this podcast. The next one better b better and just as short.
  • JolieCaroline
    Slow down
    Please could you speak more slowly and in a calmer voice? I would enjoy this short, informative podcast if you just spoke a little more slowly.
  • MainJeffers
    For a bite sized take on things
    I dislike this podcast for the same reason I dislike Axios generally. It’s simplistic, bite-sized, bullet-point treatment of news topics is like the TEDtalks version of things (which I equally despise). I prefer long form journalism, and deeper dives into complex new stories, like you get from the Guardian’s, the BBC’s, and the New York Times’ podcasts. Save your bullet points for a presentation in a college seminar classroom. Otherwise, the production qualities and technical elements of the audio are superb.
  • CSEvents
    Great way to start your day
    This is a quick and simple one or two topics a day to educate yourself on current topics. I highly suggest adding this podcast to your daily routine
  • JayDelg
    Good, but could be great..
    If the host slowed down a bit. Pump the breaks, fella!
  • Slow Down Primack
    Slow down the intro...
    It’s giving me a piercing headache
  • Star City Grit Cowboy
    Love the Idea, Drop the Bias.
    The topics, length of the podcast and host’s delivery are perfect. The problem is the lack of neutrality; the host allows his personal political beliefs to slant the content. This is too bad- by eliminating the slant and becoming truly neutral, I would give it 5 stars without question.
  • Getyourbizsavvy
    Extreme left bias and more politics than business
    I subscribe to the daily pro rata podcast, which provides me with a brilliant daily business roundup without political commentary. Was hoping for the same with the pro rata podcast, but that’s not the case. It’s mostly political news and is joined with an extreme left bias. Which to me goes against what axios says it’s about on the about about page.
  • Jon LA Westwood
    NAAP
    NAAP means Not Another Angry Podcast. The Axios site and emails provide useful news and headlines, so I signed up for this podcast. Instead of useful or insightful, got super angry, opinionated crap. Unsubscribed to the podcast and considering dropping the daily emails. Why is this so hard?
  • BenAnderson218
    Partisan
    Left-leaning reporting.
  • BUEconMajor
    Informative and Quick
    Really enjoy this podcast - the topics covered are broad and don’t always relate directly to tech and the market, but Dan is smart and provides good analysis of the issues and news he presents. The interviews are usually of other Axios persons, which is understandable. It would be good to hear more from other third parties though.
  • mhamaps
    If you only have 10 minutes to get smarter, this is a must listen podcast
    Dan's podcast reinforces the overall Axios value proposition to provide timely information to make us more informed. It is very well produced and stays on message by providing input and insights on business and politics. Dan is an excellent moderator that knows how to curate content and deliver it with energy and passion. I look forward to my daily dose of Pro Rata, and highly recommend this podcast to anyone who wants to keep up with today's trends, etc.
  • AT543
    Solid
    Love dan’s podcast, but wish he would talk more about business news the way he does in the written pro rata and cover less about politics. There are other places within Axios to keep up with politics.
  • Avid car podcast listener
    Additional Podcast
    Hey Dan, Love your Pro Rata newsletter and podcast. It’s a great dive into burgeoning business trends, and a good starting point to go down rabbit holes. If possible, I’d really enjoy a podcast of yours that was strictly just a word for word spoken out version of your daily Pro Rata newsletter. Seeking alpha Wall Street breakfast has a similar version of this. Keep up he good reporting!
  • MegSwat
    A Must-Listen
    Dan Primack is a colleague, but this podcast is my daily, midday must-listen to keep up with everything that is happening in the collision of tech, business and politics. Given the speed at which news cycles churn, Pro Rata is always up-to-date and efficiently informative. Keep it up!
  • MolinaRJ
    Concise, Important, Mostly Neutral News
    Well worth it compared to the onslaught of news from other sources. Axios gives you enough information to research further. Great podcast!
  • Ree-Cup
    Timely and informative
    Impressive how much valuable and well thought out information can be crammed into 10 minutes. Just the right amount of time. Keep up the great work!
  • NastyLauder
    News for the village idiot
    Jim Vandehei and Mike Allen have seized on the dumbing down of America trend with a podcast, and the now-institution that stands behind it, that offers bite-size, commitment-free news for the profoundly attention-challenged person. If you can’t read an op-Ed in its entirety, or any news article, in full, then I don’t know what to tell you. Go watch Sesame Street
  • avlavi8tor
    Moderate and Balanced.
    In my humble opinion, Dan Primack and Axios have delivered one of the only balanced podcasts out there today. Outstanding!
  • FC Zasalini
    Mid day highlight
    Fun, informative, short and packed with information and great interviews. Highly recommend for those interested in the intersection of media, policy, tech and finance !
  • pm125
    Smart brevity works
    The antidote to entropy. Very high information density.
  • MTB716
    Informative and engaging
    Being familiar with Dan Primack through PE Hub to Term Sheet to Pro Rata, I was excited for the launch of the Pro Rata podcast. The podcast has not disappointed. The pace is quick but concise and clear. The host challenges guests with insightful feedback and critical questions. Mr. Primack podcasts as well as he writes - each medium is informative and engaging. Well worth 10 minutes of your day.
  • GoAxios
    Love getting smarter faster
    Thank you Axios and Dan!
  • Bertfly
    Dan Primack is a boss
    This is straight to the point, and Dan knows his stuff with no B.S. If you want to know what's actually going on with how the investment world is thinking about the tech, this is the podcast.
  • Jonathan Swan
    Jonathan Swan
    I’m biased - Primack is a colleague - but even if I weren’t I’d tell you this is worthy of your time. 10 minutes will make you smarter about deals and tech. Primack is brilliant.
  • CEO.Groupie
    Genius Pod
    Dan is one of the smartest reporters in America and lives up to the Axios promise of being worthy of your trust and time.
  • Gulliver123456
    Fast, Furious and Fascinating!
    I’ve been reading @Danprimack’s emails for years. They’re great. But now this is great as I can multitask, drink my morning coffee whilst listening! And it helps me from getting distracted by clicking on links on mobile or online which I’m a divil for! Well done Dan! And Sara Fisher!
