  • Sad farewell to Post Reports

    I’m sorry to see Post Reports go. It’s disappointing to see brilliant aspects of the Post shut down, but very much expected to see Jeff Bezos’ unrelenting ignorance and opportunism take center stage in this climate. Maybe now he can allocate his meager funds toward sprucing up his poor public image.

  • Say it ain’t so

    I’ve been listening since day 1 and simply can’t wrap my head around the decision to discontinue this podcast. The reporting has been incredibly important and invaluable to the fabric of our society. A truly sad end to an excellent source of news. Martine, Colby, Elahe, EVERYONE involved with this pod will be sorely missed. You should all be proud of what you created and gave to the American public. Until we meet again….

  • Tell me it isn’t true!!

    I am horrified that the post is eliminating this wonderful podcast. You guys have been by my side for over 5 years and I will dearly miss your engaging, insightful reporting. You should consider leaving Jeff Bezos in the rear view mirror and continuing the podcast on your own.

    Dear Martini P. Thank you for your report! It is interesting and brings sadness to Lear more about the subject. For your information at that time the US participation on repression of central and South American was very extensive , you probably can get more information about it from reliable source ; my point to comment about your report is to confirm that making people “ despair “ was a distinct characteristic of the participation of the US interfering on the political and economic affairs of t... more
