Just like a lot of podcaster/ radio personalities; he goes wherever the money tells him to go. His political knowledge is limited but he’s very confident in his opinions. I assume he could learn? He’s smart…. But does he listen? Not sure.

We as a nation really need your perspective being a center left person… to help guide the Democratic Party back to the working class of America… everything you been saying though out election process has come to light… I always smile about the prospect of you being a political figure… but now I really wish you were more influential in the direction of our country.. I mean this wholeheartedly thank you for what you do with your platform and I do believe in you in that respect… GOD BLESS…..

Hi Stephen A, this is Gavin. If Jones is not the QB who will it be? Do you think Daboll and Schoen will be back as the HC and the GM next year? If not who will it be then?

SA claims to be mid grounded but he is a leftist. This is evident by the people he brings on, they are all leftest. Leave politics and stick to sports, politics are not your thing.

To many ads and to racially biased. Stephen A has changed a lot.

No one is as overrated as you Stephen A . Just always naming the players is pathetic and proves you really just don’t anything. Hey were you trying to get a raise I haven’t heard anything from you about that !! LOL

So many ads. And micro-episodes that are just individual segments from the full episode just junk up my feed. Pretty close to unsubscribing but will give it a little time to improve before doing so.

Too many ads, content is decent.

Why do they still call this The Steven A. Smith Show when most of it is just commercials?

Stephen A. Smith is a truth teller. Over the years of watching him on First Take and now listening on podcasts he’s always attacked the uncomfortable topics with a fearlessness and tenacity that sometimes leaves me in awe. Race and bias, though uncomfortable to talk about; especially when your own tribe might be on the wrong side of what is fair, is never an easy topic of discussion and takes an exceptional journalistic gladiator to attack…. Stephen A. Smith is one of far too few. By the way: I’m a black man that lives a very common black existence.

Attacking Sherryl swoopes with his cape on. People have told me for years about Stephen A but I give everyone a chance. This is the last straw. Unsubscribed. SAS show is pathetic.

I listened to you for years across several different platforms. I didn’t always agree with you, rarely actually but I respected your opinion. It seems like you’ve just turned into a race baiter and it gets worse with every show. I can’t listen to you anymore. Get out of politics and go back to talking about sports. Have a nice day

I used to love the Stephen A. Smith podcast. It was one of my go-to listens for insightful commentary and engaging discussions. The episodes were full of energy and offered a deep dive into sports and culture that kept me coming back for more. Unfortunately, the podcast has taken a disappointing turn recently. The content has shifted to short clips that are often loaded with ads, making it difficult to enjoy the show as I once did. It’s sad to say, but I’ve since unsubscribed. It’s disheartening to see such a great podcast lose its appeal.

Overall, I really enjoy the show. My primary issue with the show is the way the podcast feed is handled. I don’t like that the smaller snippets/segments of the show are being mixed in with the main show. If I listened to the main show I don’t want to hear the same content again just because it was loaded into the main podcast feed.

Only took a few months for this to be a “meet the contract” podcast. Went from 3 great episodes. Week to 1 a week and a ton clips called “Stephen A’s take, which is just a small clip from an episode, Isn’t even anything new… very disappointed.

I’m a 73yr woman living in the Bay Area, Ca. Discovered your pod a few yrs ago and look forward to hearing them for the latest update on everything . Your take on politics, sports, pop culture and most everything else is spot on. Love the variety of interviews you have, cornel west etc. No one on radio can match your unique talent . Mostly listen for the politics tho. Refreshing to here a voice that’s not afraid of speaking truth. Barbara R.

Let it go please he’s running and that’s who we need to vote for… next election before it’s down to the last two people you voice your dislikes Once we agree on a democratic person to run for our party, we all bands together for that one person. All the other stuff is out the door.

Mad respect for Stephen a but he hasn’t evolved with the new media’s voice. He is still seeking attention by outlandish takes mixed in with some very good ones. He’s consistently handing out inauthentic apologies after being called out. His narrative manipulating style of commentary isn’t covert enough to make it worth playing along anymore.

Kamala Harris is a great candidate? Trash person/trash politician (more than even most) all the way around. How about that laugh. That authentic laugh. I want to bury my fist into the bottom of a bonfire than hear her talk about anything don’t want to get into politics love your show. Had to bring you down to 3 stars from 5.

You cause division amongst people and should focus on bringing all people together! Stop w the white vs black!

Wish I could give this racist -5 stars

…..but can we please get someone to level out the audio? Lol

SAS is one of the best to ever do it! I love the show!

I normally agree with a lot of what SA says, but the Scheffler take that the cops should have known who he was is absurd to me. Perhaps I misunderstood your take, but whether it was a cop who confronted him or hired help assisting with ingress/egress, he should have waited until he confirmed what he was able to actually be permitted to do.

Podcasters talking dead quiet to the point where you can’t hear them is a huge letdown especially if you wanna hear what they have to say. It makes it worse if they suddenly yell and blow out your ears. No matter how good the podcast is, if it’s frustratingly quiet, it’s a 1 star. If this gets fixed, this show is EASILY 5 stars

Huge fan of SAS. But my guy, it’s like you’re stuck in debate mode. This is pertaining to the Matt Barnes convo. Ima keep it short. But listen to understand sometimes, you don’t always have to be right or have some thorough explanation. Again, huge fan. Respect.

Twitter??? Pop culture???🤪😂👍🏻🤷🏻‍♂️❌

Blowhardedness has increased 3,457% in the past few years.

Ima big SAS guy. Just like me, he is a west indian man from the east coast and he's quite relatable if you ask me. When he finally got into the podcast realm (outside of repackaged first take episodes) I was ecstatic. I've been listening since before he rebranded. It's been a bit over two years and... lets just say Stephen a has mote potential. Here's my suggestions: - Keep the cold opens cold.. and get straight into the teased topics after the intro. - quit gloating about your subscribers at the beginning of every show.. if anything do that corny ish at the end. - Make more separate episodes for the full-length interviews unrelated to the realm of sports. Broadcast them in full in the live youtube broadcast/taping but keep them out the main podcast episodes because they mess up the flow. I mean you can keep 4-5 mins of them to at least introduce whatever's being discussed to the listener for them to indulge in at their own discretion. - Quit being in a rush to "get up on outa here". Just host your podcast and let it end when it ends. Good stuff, but it could be a whole lot better.

At times makes great points BUT at times panders to a certain demographic. Sells out only to buy back in, at the end of the day it’s expected by Stephen A.

No matter who the guest is he refuses to listen. His pre baked talking point is more important.

This man’s entire life has been proven to be a fraud. He was installed in this job. He’s no more of a sports expert than the drunk on the barstool next to you.

I would like to see you interview these two individuals. It would be great to see a healthy debate.

Stephen A. Are you man enough to have on Mehdi Hassan? He’s the best in the business at political debate on the Left. Just don’t try any of that centrist bull you placated the right wing dolt PBD with. You got to bring your A Game or Mehdi will mop the floor!

But you lost me. I really don’t care about your constant fake feuds with other sports media personalities. I feel like I’m listening to a bunch of idiot frat boys having a pissing contest. Grow up.

Stephen A Smith is constantly flipping on every right/wrong about other people's perspective.

You can never go wrong with Mr.Smith

Took awhile but glad to see episodes coming back to Apple Podcast! Thank you!! 🙏🙏🙏

Why haven’t I been getting updated / new shows for Stephen A. They just stopped . I’ve been going on YouTube.

The shows were going strong on apple what happened?? They just stopped updating.

What has happened? There haven’t been any new episodes in 2024!!!

Awesome Podcast With The Boy SAS Great Show Amazing Episode by The Great Sports Illustrated Show and Where Is The 2024 SAS?

I agree!!! Where are the new episodes for 2024??

Pure fraud. Raising your voice and yelling over people doesn’t make you intelligent. Just a small minded man. Bully. You’re a joke.

Thought he was on a long vacation but they’re just not uploading the episodes. Very odd.

Why are the latest episodes not yet available to download?

Where are the new episodes for 2024?

Great Podcast Love Your Work Stephen A 🔥🔥👍👍💯
