  • Inappropriate Background Music

    Love the content and reporting, but was very disturbed when the cheery background jazz intro continued to play, loudly, over a disabled victim’s account of their harrowing experience with ICE on episode 02/10/26. Maybe consider the tone of the show when editing before you publish. I felt this was insensitive and inappropriate.

  • Simply the best

    You won’t get this level of depth and journalistic integrity from mainstream media outlets in the states. Amy, Nermeen, Juan and all of their amazing, dedicated colleagues bring real, objective news that speaks truth to power in a media environment that feels increasingly dangerous to those dedicated to truth and justice. Keep up the good work, friends. You are my North Star.

  • War and Peace?

    Can’t ever remember hearing an episode talking about peace. Solely based on war, death, and corruption politics. In depth but also overwhelming. What we need here is a truly action focused news. Not news that leaves me feeling hopeless and angry but news that also directs people in ways to take peaceful action against those who are polluting our world with destruction.
