On the Media - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I’m an avid OTM listener because they offer the kind of inside out critiques that help us understand nuances and narrative that shape our world and thinking. In a world losing out on journalism in every corner, this kind of analysis is precious and rare. I am a better critical thinker because of OTM. Thank you and please share this with others and donate to keep this kind of show going long into the future.

This show is very badly-needed analysis of how current events are reported and by whom and why and to what ends and how it calcifies into the Dominant Narrative over time. This show is basically an anti-calcification agent against propaganda. For those who don’t just consume the information as it’s fed to us, but consider the framing and the competing agendas, OTM is one of the few sources of support for doing so. I love this show so much and particularly Brook Gladstone. I listen to every single episode and could listen to BG’s voice all day.

Hi, long time listener, first time reviewer. This show keeps me grounded and sane even when it helps me realize how insane the world around us is sometimes. Brooke and Micah (and team) do a wonderful job putting all the pieces into place.

On the Media does absolutely excellent reporting and fact checking and sharing. This is one of my favorite podcasts.

On the Media poses excellent questions, and talks with a variety of people.

In addition, it’s fantastic that they are evaluating how the media landscape is changing and how traditional media can adapt.

Now, Imagine if people were so sick of social media we just shut it all off. Would that not be marvelous? To Not be constantly manipulated by a series of algorithms? That is the future of media I want.

I used to love this show! Key words there “used to”. Sadly the show lacks the effort it used to have. There seems to be very little new content. Every “new” show is just replays of old segments with very little actual new content. Since they kicked Bob off the show, it’s like they’re just phoning it in. I’m sure he was a pain in the back side to work with but without him the show appears to have completely lost its way. The replay segments they do play are not any of the segments with Bob. It’s almost like they need someone with a lot of fiery passion to make the show work. Very disappointing
