I don’t get why I can’t find the I story I heard yesterday about the FIFA team chants. What’s the deal?
So I’ve heard interviews from 3 Palestinian hostages but not from a released Jewish hostage. Why? Your program can’t provide exploration by looking only in one direction. Do better, right now you are far from helpful discussion, your just one side, there’s no learning from just one side.
Hope that the fascist boot licking would be fruitful for it.
I had liked it due to recent reporting on various political issues; but cannot support it anymore. Personally would much prefer if my local public radio station would drop this show.
Seriously stop “both-siding”.
I just heard an interview dated July 2, with a Yale woman saying Medicaid cuts wouldn't kick in until four years from now! Other sources say 2026. Either this episode was mistakenly released as if it's 2025, or she's actually wrong.
Here = the USA. The only news stories from outside the USA that I see deal with either Israel (an extension of US foreign policy) or the new pope (an American).
Now = what can be expressed in a very short news bite. I have even heard a reporter whispering “briefly” to someone whom he had asked a rather involved question.

The show tends to pair in-depth reporting on politics, policy, and global affairs with science, health, and culture, often weaving expert interviews into broader narratives about current events and historical context. Episodes frequently feature geopolitical analysis, public health briefings, and technology or climate storytelling, interspersed with human-scale perspectives from researchers, journalists, and practitioners. Noteworthy is the program's willingness to blend field reporting from international and domestic settings with thoughtful policy analysis, and to sponsor or promote cross-platform storytelling that expands the conversation beyond traditional news segments.
