The WTF Reports with Dave vonKleist

The WTF Reports is a provocative and conversational talk show that airs live Monday through Friday at 2:00 PM Eastern. It blends news commentary, political and cultural analysis, and music in a format that challenges mainstream narratives and encourages critical thinking.

Host & Background

The show is hosted by Dave vonKleist, a veteran broadcaster with roughly 30 years of radio experience. In addition to his radio career, vonKleist is a musician and documentarian with three albums and four documentaries to his credit. His background spans teaching, radio announcing, and ongoing engagement with political, historical, and psychological themes. Before launching The WTF Reports, he was known for “The Power Hour,” a morning drive program that mixed topical issues, politics, comedy, and music.

Format & Tone

The WTF Reports positions itself as “News and Information with a Musical Twist.” Each broadcast typically includes deep dives into current events, investigative angles on complex stories, historical context, and critical media analysis. The show often adopts an oppositional posture toward establishment narratives, and recent episode themes have referenced psy-ops, threats from foreign actors, and media silence.

Music is woven into the program’s identity: vonKleist’s own musical work and audio clips appear alongside commentary, and the show’s archives include tracks and audio clips. As a result, the listening experience is more than talk radio; it combines analysis and creative expression in an audio-forward format.

Content & Themes

The WTF Reports frequently addresses topics that sit outside mainstream coverage or challenge conventional wisdom. Episodes delve into psychological operations, geopolitical tensions, media complicity, and “awakening” narratives. Other recurring subjects include 9/11, deep politics, election controversies, and critiques of governance. Guest appearances and recorded dialogues add outside perspectives, giving the show a hybrid feel—part talk show, part investigative commentary, part musical broadcast.

Audience & Positioning

The program identifies with the independent and alternative media ecosystem and is hosted on platforms that amplify contrarian and investigative voices. It invites listeners who are skeptical of dominant media institutions, curious about deeper political undercurrents, or drawn to programming that interweaves music, culture, and commentary.

Because it is live and frequent—airing five days a week—the show responds quickly to breaking news and evolving storylines while also building continuity through recurring themes. Its archives and show links allow new or returning listeners to explore past episodes in depth, making it easy to get up to speed on long-running investigations and ongoing discussions.
