  • Palestine

    I’ve admired Brian Lehrer’s reporting for a long time but tremendously disappointed in his conversation with guests discussing Palestine. Depriving women, children, elderly, and the sick of food, water, energy, medical supplies, and forcing people to evacuate their home, then bombing the homes and bombing them when they go to “safe” sites- using 2,000 pound bombs to find a Hamas fighter no matter the cost. Also this is not a “war” because the other side does not have bombs, tanks and all the equ... more

  • Great Show but Unreliable

    Great show. Brian Lehrer is a top talent. He does a compelling, insightful, and informative show. But the podcast’s release schedule is extremely unreliable. You never know when or if the segments will be available, and they never come out in the order they were aired. Doesn’t the podcast audience deserve the same respect as the on-air and streaming audience?

  • Absolute horrendous reporting on the genocide

    Disgusted with the lack of transparency and real reporting/discussion on Gaza and the genocide occurring. As a news source and supposedly journalistic endeavor, they are aiding the genocide. Shame on you Brian. I have stopped listening to npr and any public radio, I am only listening to democracy now, they still have integrity. I would give you zero stars if I was able to.

  • Israel v. "Hamas" is a false narration

    I've listened to this show for twenty years but lately I cannot stomach the awful framing of this genocide. I had given WNYC a pass for blaming inflation on workers, but this is too far. I have doubled my giving to Democracy Now! instead.

  • Disappointed

    I remember listening to The Brian Lehrer show during the march for Black Lives in 2020 and being impressed at what seemed to be fairly even-handed discussions. I tuned in today (2023-10-26) to listen to a segment with Robin Wright on Israel’s war against the Palestinians and was appalled. At a time when the UN and many international organizations are describing what’s occurring in Gaza as war crimes and likely genocide, Brian and Robin blithely repeated Israel’s proven false talking points, whic... more
