  • Excellent Interview

    Juana Summers is a treasure of journalism.

    This is what interviews of difficult subjects ought to be like.

    Integrity and dedication mark her work and we are better for the learning.

  • Completely lost

    When this first launched a few years ago, it was an interesting look at the topic of the day. No more. It’s approach of titling episodes as questions on issues which have clear cut right and wrong is just ridiculous. It’s now a waste of time and reflects the problem with journalism or lack thereof today. Just skip this pointless waste of time.

  • don’t let “experts” spew lies

    i love consider this but the interview with chuck wexler on 1/25/26 is incredibly disappointing. the interviewer should have pushed back on his assertions that both sides need to deescalate. one side is executing americans in the streets, and one side is helping their neighbors. use common sense.

  • What's Really Happening in MN?

    I'm sorry, but if Jasmine and Kat didn't see any pro ice Minnesotans, then they're simply not doing their jobs... You can't just interview a handful of activists and msnbc moms and pretend you understand a place. The protests are massive and impressive (and I strongly support them). But I also know plenty of Minnesotans who are anti immigrant and buy the rhetoric about crime. There are others who see this as connected to state corruption and the Feeding Our Future scandal. And the parts of Minne... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Trump administration wants to increase apprenticeships
Q: So why apprenticeships, and how does this model actually work?
The host describes apprenticeships as a system where you earn while you learn, reducing the barrier of expensive college degrees, and allowing workers to gain specialized on‑the‑job skills while being paid, with companies shaping the workforce to meet their needs.
Is the war with Iran making the homefront less safe?
Q: How are law enforcement and security agencies responding to the evolving threat landscape?
Authorities describe enhanced readiness, ongoing investigations, and adaptive counterterrorism measures, including monitoring online propaganda and maintaining heightened security in major cities, while acknowledging the difficulty of preventing lone-actor attacks.
Is the war with Iran making the homefront less safe?
Q: What should we understand about the recent attacks and their connection to the Iran conflict?
Experts explain that the current conflict has intensified calls for violence from ISIS and other militant groups, and while some attacks lack a clear motive, others show a pattern of radicalization amplified by online platforms and social media, complicating prevention efforts.
New front in Lebanon as Iran war reshapes Middle East
Q: What is driving this renewed intensity in the conflict around Lebanon?
The escalation is linked to Hezbollah's solidarity with Iran and its rocket launches, which has drawn Lebanon deeper into the regional confrontation and complicated the government's ability to maintain control.
Epstein used an art camp to prey on girls. An NPR team learned how it worked.
Q: Can you say more about verification because with countless pages to sift through and all kinds of conversations and records, how do you verify what you're looking at and know that you're getting the accurate story?
The team used cross-document verification, corroborated details with administrators and a camper, and prioritized conversations with people who were there to confirm what the documents suggested, ensuring the story was anchored in both records and lived experiences.
