It’s not going to be easy to cover everything but Dori, you are and will be greatly missed. Your style and sense of humor were both unique and great. You were smart and empathetic, a loving father and husband. You cared about your listeners more than anyone I’ve ever heard. Your ability to tell stories but also be serious and hold people accountable was amazing. I’ve listened to your show for years and will always love talk radio a huge part because of you.
It’s hard to find a media talent these days that is guided by his own compass. Dori is fearless and always has the facts to back up his arguments. Amazing show with a brilliant host.
Even though I live in Oregon, our states are both a hot mess.
I love listening to your podcast…. Let’s me know there are other sane people in the world!
I just wanted to say THANK YOU! In Sept/Oct you covered the horrible and tragic death of my best friend of 20+ years, Jessica Wilson, who involuntary received the vaccine to be a class mom helper in her daughters classroom. I have never forgot how you stuck up for her and her family. Thank you! I will be a forever long time listener!
Inslee and Ferguson drove me out of WA 4 years ago. I’m now in the beautiful and free state of Idaho, and loving it. Thanks to podcasts, I can still get my fix of the best talk on the planet. Keep up the pressure! Get that governor out of there and bring the old Seattle back!
Been listening for many many years. While I don’t agree with absolutely everything (obviously impossible for anyone) he brings a large bullhorn to an otherwise shutout population of Independents, libertarians, and conservatives. None of these groups have a large platform or one even close to Dori’s in the PNW.
Dori brings us local stories that would otherwise be swept under the rug by local media. Important legislation and honest looks at the growing number of radical decisions by the Seattle city counsel and state representatives make this a truly one of a kind breathe of fresh air for all listeners across the state and in the Sound area.
I felt like such a colossal jerk for not including the $5.00 park fee with my license tabs this year.
Just as I am not enabling “woke” Nextdoor Neighbor app with my participation & I won’t contribute to the state parks that are being trashed. And I feel a teeny bit better for not being a 100% chump.
Common sense narratives, thought, and opinion. Unapologetic for voicing support for the basic and sound values that made America great! Not too far right- “just right”.
The whole judicial system is backwards. Right is wrong and wrong is right. We must rise up as one voice and take back our land, freedom and push for purity in our justice system!
Dori time to leave corporate radio. You are eventually going to get thrown off. Your company is no different then the rest. Take your show off the air and then the sponsors will get the message. Let the area and the station eat their own.
So tired of the sensitivity levels dialed up to 11. I support Dori and hope to hear the honest thoughts of a good man working in a world that has decided to pave the mental pathways with eggshells that are supposed to be untouchable.
I am sad and frightened to hear that Dori has been gagged. I may not agree with all he has to say but I was happy to think we still had a honest and free voice in the media. Who will they take down next? Freedom of speech?
As a young adult and college student in Seattle, it’s almost too easy to be brainwashed by extreme leftist leaders and education in the region. My mom listens faithfully to this show and it’s rubbed off on me. Dori Monson is a voice or reason amidst all the chaos of navigating life, ethics, politics, and college. I want more of my friends to listen to this show!
Now he just blindly rides the trump train, excuses all his misogyny and hatefulness. Can’t stand listening when I used to enjoy his perspective. Hard for me to understand those who can continually defend the despicable acts of our current president. Yuck.
I live in Los Angeles, and many of us fear turning into Seattle. I listen to this show to scare myself, though my own city isn’t too far off from this weirdness. I first heard this guy as a guest on John and Ken show, and liked his gruff speaking style
Seattle is a leftist echo chamber that generally has little tolerance for views that stray from the party line. I’m so grateful Dori has a platform to speak for the silent majority who fear the pitchforked mob.
The host’s voice is gruff yet velvety. Occasionally, when the man questions his mic in sweet low tones- just before returning to rapid fire commentary- I sense a brief lack of confidence that has turned me off from continuing to listen many times before. It’s this sort of delicateness, the slightly clumsy verbal ticks, ummms, ughggh, that seem uncomfortable even to inattentive listeners.
Takes the word of an ignorant father instead of the people who are actually in the situation. Expects homeless people to be model citizens and ignores their poverty. Wants to kick the homeless out of their shelter. Overall, doesn’t care about the facts and only about getting a story to induce drama and fear.
Sometimes it’s rough being born and raised in a State that has such strong political views and opinions (more often than not) that are so very different from your own. You feel alone.
Mainstream media is so confusing and one sided..... it’s frightening and causes trust issues.
I have a large amount of respect for folks who speak out when they believe and feel differently than majority. Thank you for not being a follower. We need leaders and truth tellers!
He’s become a talking head for the far right. I used to enjoy a balanced show before Trump, but Dori has sold his soul and knowingly misrepresents facts to stir the pot. He’s part of the problem and has no journalistic integrity. It’s Fox News radio.
Everything this man says is accurate everything you told us in the late 90s is happening now I think more Washingtonians and listen to this man He lets us all know about the corruption in Washington’s government and 90% of the time he’s the only one letting us know
As a listener who lives across the vast pond in the Philippines, it is great to be able to keep up with the local happenings in Seattle…I enjoy Dori’s political views and his penchant for calling a spade, a spade when it comes to local government…Quite refreshing….
I've listened to Dori for years...I disagree with him fairly often but I still like listening to him most of the time. He and producer Jake make a good pair, and can be quite funny together, especially when discussing lighter topics.
…if the show wasn't so Seattle-centric, but that's the sponsors' demographic. My point is that the quality of production, as well as Dori's own scintillating presentation, is easily as good as any of the national shows and more entertaining than most of them. Even if you're not a Seattlite, give this show a try if you're fond of irreverent, satirical harpooning of big government and other flavors of small minds.
P.S. to the reviewer who couldn't deal with Dori's yelling about big gov't: you totally missed the point of the show, and for that matter Dori himself. You might be more comfortable with NPR.
Dori Monson is well rounded and he understands cmon sense and he seems to be legit. I understand that people in his position don't really care about the little people, but he seems to care. I will be a life long listener.
Dori's show is enticing and edgy. Dori has a creative way of conveying the truth while being sometimes judgmental, yet unbiased. The show is constantly entertaining. Dori is a true watchdog of Seattle as well as Washington politics.
Been listening since day one. Find the show to be entertaining, educational and inciteful. Common theme is, smaller government, less taxes, personal responsibility and common sense. Go get em Dori!
Just recently started listening to Dori on the radio. Very happy there are podcasts! I can catch up if I ever miss a show.
Love listening to him. Hasn't taken me long to become a fan!
Dori does a good job with pop culture topics but unfortunately he spends too much time yelling about the government. He also ridicules people when they get off the phone which is plain childish. I listen to podcasts to cheer me up and perhaps learn something. Dori rarely fits the bill.
