Gavin Newsom has officially bombed at the digital box office. Despite massive earned media promoting it, Newsom’s podcast has been resoundingly rejected by Californians – with his episodes averaging just 13,638 views.
“This is Gavin Newsom” is even getting crushed “Reform California with Carl DeMaio” – hosted by the first-term state representative.
“Californians aren’t buying the crap that Gavin Newsom is shoveling – and the humiliating failure of his much-hyped podcast is the latest evidence of that,” declared DeMaio.

“Gavin Newsom has proven he's neither good at governing nor podcasting, so it’s time he try picking just one. Californians are suffering under the highest cost of living in the nation and an ongoing crime and homelessness crisis — it’s time for failed podcast personality Gavin Newsom to hang up the microphone and just try doing his job as Governor,” Asm. Carl DeMaio added.
