  • Awesome

    I have listened to this broadcast for many years from Canada. Sad the funds are an issue for the current administration but he will not be there forever.

  • Israeli Propaganda

    I can’t believe the propaganda coming from PBS. PBS is supporting a genocide. This must be the new Trump version of PBS. I can’t subscribe anymore

  • Great content, but why so many ads suddenly?

    Re-upping my semi-annual complaint. This podcast has been my go to source for news for years - great content - but the drastic uptick in ads over the last few weeks is making me question my listenership. I wouldn’t mind an ad or two per day, but they seem to be on every story now, even the 2-minute ones!

  • The ads again? Really?

    Seemingly once a year I have to come in here and edit my review and rating to get y’all to stop putting ads into every single segment… do you realize how inappropriate it is to have ads before AND after incredibly sensitive stories? This is just ridiculous. Before. And after. Every. Single. Segment. Come on…

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Artemis II astronauts embark on voyage around the moon
Q: Miles, what have the astronauts been up to in the first 24 hours after liftoff?
Miles explains that the mission is progressing smoothly as a test flight, with emphasis on maneuvering the Orion capsule manually and rehearsing docking-like proximity operations to validate handling in space.
How Gulf nations and European allies are responding to Trump's Iran address
Q: How are Gulf nations viewing the U.S. and Israeli approach to the Iran conflict?
They were not a uniform bloc; while many preferred diplomacy initially, they increasingly urged action as Iran continued attacks and warned of vulnerabilities to critical infrastructure, prompting a push to 'finish the job' to prevent Iran from leveraging a weakened regional posture.
How U.S. forces conduct search and rescue for a downed combat crew
Q: Let me ask you if I may about the specifics in this case with this war in Iran, what are the challenges here that are different from those previous episodes?
The lack of ground partners to push in and secure an area, combined with reduced air superiority and increased risk to forces, makes these rescues far more hazardous and complex than in past conflicts.
Supreme Court hears mail-in ballot case that could impact the midterms
Q: What is the core argument here? Why are Republicans fighting against this law?
The core argument is that a federal law sets the election date, so ballots received after that date should not be counted; Republicans claim federal law trumps state law, seeking to restrict late-counted ballots.
Geoff Bennett on his new book and the 'golden age' of Black sitcoms
Q: What was the process of writing this book like for you?
It involved four years of interviews, extensive research, and coordinating with many people, all while continuing his role at the NewsHour; the oral-history approach aimed to capture firsthand memories and voices from the era.
