- Getting More & More Political
This is a great show, with the exception of a few recent episodes where it is clear your political opinions are taking over the story telling. Quit, please.

United States17 days ago - Thanks for the tip, Radiiolab
On Radiolab’s suggestion I went to check out this podcast and instantly fell in love with it. Narrative journalism takes a tremendous amount of resources to produce and I wish there were more of it—especially of this caliber. I’m also having fun reading the critical reviews by thick-browed, television addicts who are triggered by public radio. You’re obviously doing something right, Throughline! ❤️
Apple Podcasts5lion rock heartUnited States23 days ago - Super biased against Israel
I used to love this show because I thought it was so well researched, but then they started making episodes about a conflict that I know pretty well and realized that it’s very one-sided. I’m really sad to unsubscribe from Throughline because it used to be one of my very favorite podcasts.
Apple Podcasts1RWB.RWBUnited States24 days ago - Biased, skewed and misleading
The hosts - Arablouie and Abdelfatah - and their producers are obviously so steeped in critical theory that they are blinded to and unaware of what their version of history sounds like to the average ear. Supposedly, this show examines the past to understand the present. But what it really does is empower historically fringe and marginalized views to rewrite Western perspective. If you want indoctrination in postmodern theory and deconstruction of world views, this is your show. I personally can... more

This history show brings forward perspectives I’ve been unaware of when the topics are ones I’ve read a lot about, which means I am more interested to hear the various perspectives documented in episodes dealing with topics with which I have less familiarity.
