Very Entertaining

The Mark Thompson show is very entertaining, and it informs while making the scary part of the news less of a pain.
Wallabywonder

Great show

Great job of covering the Delay Defund Deny of the Trump Admin.
Bruks

low information, high noise waste of time

This guy is a clown constantly honking a horn like Harpo Marx without hair or humor. Show has some good guests like John Rothman & David Cay Johnston but he is not smart enough ro do anything but blather & move on to stupid podcast tricks . if you like wasting time tMTS is your kind of show where you end up dumber for having watched it.

Ciao from Italy

Love your examination of politics and your witty banter. KGO used to be such a great station, and you folks have matched, or maybe even surpassed the quality. Listening to your podcast where I now live in Italy is an energizing way to start my day.
astrozack

Love the show

Ding Dong with Mark Thompson!!!!
Cupcake sean

I tried

I heard of the podcast from the conway show. Gave it a shot but after a few episodes i cant listen anymore. He comes off as pompous and arrogant. His style is always taking down at the listener. The laugh he often follows his diatribes with feels disingenuous and only there as an attempt to make the listener feel as if he is joking. Maybe you will enjoy it. He does seem well informed and he will be happy to make sure you know it.

Try not to miss an episode

This is a fun way to get the news and politics of the day.

WSJ POLL

This poll was run by a Trump friendly pollster and paid for by the Trump campaign. Please research the origin of these polls before you give them credibility on your show.

Thumbs up

Like the show but Kim’s whistle talking makes me have to turn it off sometimes. Maybe a microphone setting?

Story on Temecula School Board

The social studies book did not include Harvey Melk. It was in the teachers guide not the text book. This decision was the height of ignorance and stupidity.

Where my weed smoker at.

I’m so glad you guys are back!!!! I’ll definitely be sending a donation keep up the great work.
Rich Loammiser

Entertaining and informative

You gotta love how he has brought his radio show to the world of podcasts and YouTube. Great stuff!!!
Traveler in Pa

The Mark Thompson Show

I am from PA and enjoy listening to Mark, the crew, and the guests. In particular, I appreciate Mark and Kim’s moderation with guests dialog. The questions are directive but not with a host pre-determined “correct “ answer.

Cut it down!

I like the show but wish they could trim the fat a little. The news doesn't really need to be in more than once unless something significant changes. I just enjoyed how I could listen to the entire show on KGO in an hour versus two now. Just drags on more than it should. Thanks
CabbyBD

Mark Thompson is alive and well

So glad that you are moving on and reconstructing the show. Thankful a platform like You Tube is there to be able to continue the show. Fun, fun, fun. We exercise daily and download the shows as a podcast. “Do you know who I am?”

You are back

Wow! Awesome! KGO Talk Show Hosts are back. Best show ever. We can’t live without you!
Max Erosion

Prayers Answered

I was devastated when KGO went off the air and I was without my “fix” of the Mark Thompson Show. It literally is just about the only thing I listen to on road trips, and is always entertaining. Just as I was resigning myself to listening to NPR I found out about your shows resurrection. I can now move away from the edge of the cliff. Thanks!
Nnemom

Thank Goodness

I had faith we would find you again. Was so bereft w/o you
Smooter19

Yay!

I’m so so happy they are doing this! The whole KGO team is amazing!
She11/11

Thank God they are back

I was so happy to find The Mark Thompson show after KGO disappeared . It’s very entertaining and informative, I highly recommend it,
