1A used to be much better and quite good. Then...
On the Friday week in review show, they replaced the male host, and made the panel predominantly female.

I’ve been listening to NPR distributions well over a decade thanks to my parents playing it when I was a child. I almost broke with NPR as a whole when they consistently failed to accurately report the genocide occurring in Palestine, but it was this specific pod which kept me in the NPR ecosystem. Jenn White and her cohosts like Todd Zwillich never miss the mark and are so genuine and earnest in their reporting that I end each episode desperate for more- even after the news roundups! They’ve go... more
The content and people interviewed were so vague about what the dept of education does its no wonder that the Trump Admin has discontinued it.

Enforce racial justice. , yes, but we already know that Trump doesn’t want to spend money on that. If I were a Trump or a supporter, I’d brush the entire interview off as tri... more
Thank you for putting out the stuff that is crucial to report, though it increasingly puts your jobs at risk. Thank you for not going soft, or relying on AI, or reporting on the gen z stare, which is not a story. Now more than ever I know you need financial support. Now more than ever I want to contribute, yet now more than ever I face economic and social instability. Keep it up
Great collection of guests who seem to be truly “informed sources”. I could not get over the Trump supporting staffer Brian, who repeated talked in terms of “Welfare fraudsters”, just like Reagan in 1980. As Scrooge replied to not supporting those in need … “are there no workhouses, are there no prisons”. Brian would let people just wallow. Sad.
