  • Inept interviewer

    The CEO of California’s high-speed rail project makes the claim that the cost per mile of that project is equivalent to the cost of similar projects in other countries (the per mile cost is actually more than 10x greater). Nina Kim just moves onto the next question instead of questioning the CEO’s assertion. How can Nina Kim, who is so inept as an interviewer, be the replacement for Michael Krasny???

  • No relevant topics or hard questions

    There are so many issues and topics to discuss in the Bay area and California, but it seems that this show only wants to discuss safe topics and book releases. Also the hosts avoid asking hard questions and having opposing views present. I guess that's not to offend anyone and attract more people. The result is very bland and run of the mill.

  • Topics are mundane

    I used to listen to this every day but now it’s getting less each month. Neither of the current hosts ask challenging questions nor do they discuss topics of interest. Michael Krasney had authors of new books on the show and various people on with differing views debate on his show. It was enjoyable to listen to, now it’s very sing songy and false cadence. The show has lost its rhythm. And for the love of everything could you stop talking about kid topics.

  • Used to be must listen

    Since Michael Krasny retired this show has been a shell of itself. It’s unfair to expect the hosts to be as good as MK. Minas ok, Madrigal awful. Topics are too often some social justice issue. Guests reflect same priorities as topics, rooted in identity politics. Often feels like the shows put together with a formula that requires inclusion of every historically marginalized group & at least 1 “frontline community” activist.
