The David Pakman Show (TDPS), originally Midweek Politics with David Pakman, is a progressive[1][2] news talk show currently airing on television, radio, and the Internet, hosted by David Pakman.
The program first aired in August 2005 on WXOJ-LP, a radio station located in Northampton, Massachusetts, later being nationally syndicated, and eventually achieving broader international distribution in a number of countries, as well as online.[3]
The show is made up of both live and pre-recorded interviews, clips from television and radio programs related to politics and current events, segments with correspondents on the street and in public, and other specially produced segments. It focuses on modern North American politics and society, with frequent discussion of economics, science, religion in public life, culture,
History
As Midweek Politics with David Pakman
Pakman started the radio version of the program at age 21 on Pacifica radio affiliate WXOJ while an undergraduate student at the
The show expanded in 2007 to more public radio stations. Pakman was for a time the youngest syndicated radio host in the United States.[9] The same year, Louis Motamedi, a childhood friend of Pakman's, was added as radio producer.[10]
In 2009, The David Pakman Show added its first commercial radio affiliates, starting with Green 1640 in
As The David Pakman Show
In 2010, the show launched a paid membership program maintaining the podcast at no charge, but offering subscribers extra show segments, behind-the-scenes interviews, and access to show archives. In July of that year, the show obtained national television distribution through Free Speech TV.[11] The show's first international affiliate, Öppna Kanalen Skövde in Skövde, Sweden, announced in September 2010 that it would be airing the program.[3] At the same time, the show was moved from WXOJ to its own studio in Northampton, Massachusetts, for both the radio and television versions. The name was then changed to The David Pakman Show, expanding from a weekly program to two episodes per week, broadcast live on Mondays and Thursdays at 3pm Eastern Standard Time.
Shortly after a broadcast on April 28, 2010, visitors to the show's website began to observe that the site was not functioning properly, and sometimes was inaccessible altogether.
In March 2012, the show announced an expansion to four episodes per week, Monday-Thursday, and a move to an earlier live broadcast time, 2pm EST. The same year, the show joined The Young Turks network,[13] although it has since left the network.[14]
Content
The David Pakman Show is a progressive talk radio program.[10]
Pakman is a strong supporter of same-sex marriage, a topic which has often provoked conflict with guests on the program.[15][non-primary source needed] Pakman has regularly indicated that the more outrageous, extreme guests are not only interesting to interview, but create the most interest and engagement on behalf of the audience,[9] and that he often interviews people who "would be classified as 'extremists.'"[5]

On April 13, 2014, Miller was arrested as the prime suspect in the Overland Park Jewish Community Center shooting. This arrest led to a frenzy of media interest, with Pakman and the original interview featured on CNN,[16][17] The Huffington Post,[18][19] The Boston Herald,[20] Mother Jones,[21] Raw Story,[22] Democracy Now,[7] WGGB-TV,[5] and Minneapolis radio station AM950. Miller was later found guilty of capital murder, and was sentenced to death by lethal injection.[23]
