Reviews

4.3 out of 5 stars from 9.1k ratings
  • Trashy story about Hollywood

    I don’t think the details associated with “intimacy coaches” and their methods for Hollywood actors making R rated movie scenes qualifies as beneficial reporting.

    There are better elements of culture to highlight.

    This is the same NPR that begged for donations after federal funding was pulled.

    It helps me stay primed and informed on topics I might have missed. I wish I could stay listening to all things considered but I just don’t have the time.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Has the U.S. lost the war in Iran?
Q: Why is that clear to you?
Because Iran has offered nothing in return for a ceasefire and has not made concessions on the final status of its nuclear program, while the US appears to be stepping back, suggesting the deal may be less favorable or unchanged compared to prior expectations.
How a health clinic in South Africa is navigating Trump's cuts to HIV funding
Q: And it sounds incredibly personally stressful having to adjust to all of this. How are you all coping with that?
The staff describe coping through resilience and continued commitment, but acknowledge the emotional and logistical strain, with overburdened workloads and shifting relationships with beneficiaries.
Warning flags about the Trump administration and alleged corruption
Q: What reforms does the Brennan Center advocate for to curb corruption and big money in politics?
He points to reform measures such as strengthening ethics rules for the president and Supreme Court justices, passing legislation to curb dark money, and even pursuing a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.
Warning flags about the Trump administration and alleged corruption
Q: First of all, why is this epic corruption in plain sight as you see it?
Waldman explains that the fund represents a deliberate manipulation of the system to benefit Trump and his allies, bypassing Congress and creating a backdoor payment mechanism that could influence political and legal outcomes.
Amid fresh strikes, what does diplomacy between the U.S. and Iran entail?
Q: And Franco, Israel is opposed to Trump's efforts to try to make a deal with Iran. How would that complicate things and what about broader regional responses?
Israel's opposition and broader regional cautions complicate the equation by adding security and political costs to any deal, while Gulf and regional players show cautious engagement; domestic political considerations in key countries further muddy the path forward.
