  • Meh…

    The Post used to my go-to for good in-depth journalism. But since Jeff Bezos has been playing political games with the Post, it has become a watered down version of itself. Often reporter don’t ask serious questions or-worse-present only the “approved” Bezos side of an event. Ideological opinions are either not contrasted or quoted as fact. This is what happens when the press sells out to corporate overlords. Very very sad.

  • I like it, but lose the music

    I really like many of the reports, but I find the background music distracting and find myself listening to it rather than the speaker. It’s a definite negative to the show.

  • What?

    The reporter didn’t know that sugar is bad for you? No matter the type of sugar? That it’s the amount of sugar? I had to stop listening - how could someone be that ignorant !

    This is nutrition 101.

    Didn t anyone teach her? Hasn’t she ever read anything about sugar. I m shocked at her lack of basic knowledge.

    I hope the information helps her.

  • I appreciate it being not just politics

    I appreciate that it's more than just doom and gloom. They do the hard hitting stuff, but they also intermingle things that are a little lighter and useful like the Ratings episode.
