  • Time for a spinoff

    Overall a fan of the show (3.5/5), but was very impressed by No Easy Fix (5/5). What an enjoyable listen. A deep and compassionate dive into a complex problem. Cinematic audio that rises above all the chatty newscasts out there. Would love to hear much more from The Atlantic like this.
