Dream fans....WE ARE BACK!

We're reimagining The Dream as a weekly interview podcast with guests and segments about, I don't know.... whatever we want? Don't worry! We'll still be focused on the "American Dream" and all the assholes that make it infinitely harder to achieve. We'll just have a bit more freedom in how we present it.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  • Not political?

    Then proceeds to compare Donald Trump to an MLM while billions upon billions of fraud being exposed in every Democrat city nationwide. Your podcast is a joke and so are you, you’ve lost a listener.

  • Who cares what you think about Trump?

    What a disappointment! This podcast has so much potential to be fun and interesting, but you always have to talk about Trump and complain about him when you really don’t know very about the fact that these same enforcements were happening under Obama and Clinton. I hope that you will be complaining about them too because they deserve equal time! I wish you would just keep your personal beliefs to yourself and focus on the very interesting aspect of MLMs!

  • “#freeluigi?? GROSS

    This podcast is one of those that’s most definitely not good enough to pay for ad-free, but decent enough with the ads - except the ads go on FORever. Some balance needs to be struck or you’re just going to lose people who don’t want to pay and who also can’t hit the fast-forward button fast enough to get through the ads.
