  • The leading CA news report and source — vital!

    I start every day with this podcast which gives me the brief on what’s happening in my state. I think it’s a vital and unique source, and does a great job of which I will never take for granted.

KQED’s shows like the California Report, The Bay, and Forum are the closest thing to that, and they are most reliable, produced with quality content, and de... more

  • 10 minutes of ads

    I used to listen to this on my local PBS station and I would hear a helpful story about what is going on in Sacramento enough to make it worth while. But this podcast has 8 ads in ten minutes with few if any interesting topics.
