Carol Nashe, Founder and Editor of TalkShowHosts.com said, “David is an extremely dynamic talk show host who for nine years kept the phone lines jammed on his nationally syndicated radio show through Westwood One. With his engaging personality and wit, he can have a huge impact on any show he would host. A skilled interviewer as well, David's topics are broad and his talent draws the 25-55 age market that everyone is trying to reach. David not only reaches this audience...but he keeps them coming back daily. A true and experienced talk show star who I highly endorse.”

A radio show listener, Bill from Texas wrote, “I wanted to tell you about a time back when my life just feel apart. A 10 year marriage to a wonderful woman crumbled, right after that my mom passed away...the company I worked for went Chapter 11, AND, I got in a pretty bad car wreck...all within a span of 4-6 months. I just sat in my house for weeks, knowing my life sucked and it wasn't going to get any better. Then I flip on the radio one Saturday night and hear your show. Though I wasn't Mr. Perky Sunshine immediately, after listening to your connections between life, love, health, nutrition, and spirituality...well, I knew things might get better. It was a very slow climb, but your three hours on Saturday and Sunday night really did help ease a lot of the pain...pain that I thought would never go away. I really just wanted to say a belated thanks for being a friend over the airwaves. Even if you didn't know I was there, I was...and was very glad you were.”
