  • 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.
