My absolute second favorite NPR program
Where is Marco?
The writing out/removal of all the male broadcasters is toxic and very offensive.
Women may be just as good, but they have different points of view and emphasis.
If you don't have any male radio news presenters, you lose that valuable point of view.
It is toxic, and offensive, biased and wrong if it is only females or teams presenting the news.
Without a doubt one of the best sources of global news. Always great reporting on a wide variety of topics, including all the most pressing world events. I listen to a lot of news and foreign affairs podcasts, but this is my favorite and the most straightforwardly useful for keeping up-to-date with what’s going on beyond our borders.
