- Too many ads
I love listening to Phil Matier and his incisive analysis of San Francisco politics. Miss him in SF Chronicle. This program is great and an adequate substitution for what’s missing in the print media.

United States4 years ago - Content good - too many commercials
Content is good but the commercials before and after are longer than actual content and it repeats same ads. Probably would listen if on ad but not 4 to 6- 30 second ads for 3 minutes of content. Fast forward

I’ve always enjoyed hearing Phil’s reporting and since I miss hearing Stan B, Steve B, I make sure to catch Phil (live or here).
Wish he had a longer segment, and thank you!
Apple Podcasts4scmistUnited States5 years ago - Too many ads
I love listening to Phil Matier and his incisive analysis of San Francisco politics. Miss him in SF Chronicle. This program is great and an adequate substitution for what’s missing in the print media. I think the pod cast right now is just trying to cram too many ads into it, knowing this is a popular program. But too many ads is a turn-off.
Apple Podcasts3PretendingxpepperUnited States5 years ago - Phil is good
I enjoy hearing Phil, and if I don't catch him on KCBS then here is a back up.
I agree with "Chron Subscriber" - no need to cut it off prematurely! I think Phil needs a longer segment as the hosts usually chime in on the topics cuz they can get riled up too!
