New Zealanda year ago - Great insight
I wasn’t a Tova fan during Covid, but from listening to this poddy I have changed my mind. Very direct, informative, thorough and great at perusing with getting the answer when given the normal redirection reply from politicians. Well done Tova and crew keep it up 👏🏼

I haven’t missed a single episode since this podcast came out.
Top notch production quality, systematically segmented and great music (with a mean bass line) that goes with the quick wit and crisp voice of the host.
What’s refreshing about this podcast is that Tova seems to be friends with whoever she brings on, regardless of which side of the political spectrum they’re on. She is clearly passionate, yet easy going and brings the best out of her guests. It’s not the glitzy, glamorous overprodu... more

Apple Podcasts5Brent StewartNew Zealand2 years ago - Good but let’s make it better
I love this podcast, especially the election discussions, but I’m disappointed the Israel Palestine coverage has been weak and only invited an Israeli voice so far. One sided coverage can do more harm than good because it makes people feel informed. Something I would expect from US media but not Tova. Let’s strengthen the investigative coverage of international issues here please.
