  • Why

    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.

  • fascist boot licking

    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”.

  • Yale woman got it wrong?!

    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.

  • Very here and very now

    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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ICE pauses most traffic stops amid uproar over 2 killings
Q: What is the immediate policy change ICE announced?
ICE paused non-urgent vehicle stops after the shooting in Biddeford, Maine, signaling a temporary halt to routine enforcement while the incident is reviewed.
The plan to bring more electricity to the West
Q: What is Objection, and why does it matter for journalism and the media landscape?
Objection is an AI-driven platform offering a tribunal-like process to evaluate journalists' work and potentially penalize or reward reporting, highlighting tensions between free press, accountability, and new tech-mediated mechanisms for adjudicating journalistic credibility.
The plan to bring more electricity to the West
Q: Why is merit pay for teachers so controversial, and what did the studies find?
The program creates winners and losers in pay, which can affect morale and perceptions of fairness; the studies found modest to notable gains in test scores and retention in specific programs, but overall effects remain uncertain and context-dependent.
What do Democratic Socialists want?
Q: What does the DSA stand for and what do they aim to achieve in the current political climate?
The DSA is a left-wing movement aiming to push workers and communities to have more control over economic and political decisions, with a platform that emphasizes collective ownership of labor-generated wealth and broad social policies.
Trump family is making billions on crypto. Their investors are losing money
Q: Who are the investors in Trump crypto and what did they think they were buying?
Investors included buyers of World Liberty Financial and the Trump meme coin; many were retail investors who believed the projects would rise due to Trump's name and image, but the ventures carried high risk and fine print warning signs.
