The news hour is great but I do love these closer podcast-style interviews with guests like Andrew Ross Sorkin. Amna Nawaz is also a gem and a great interviewer. She’s always so prepared.

I listen to this everyday. Amna, Geoff, Lisa, Nick, and William are intelligent and thoughtful journalists. Politics Monday and Brooks & Capehart are not to miss.
motifdesign · Sep 2025
Thank you for shining a light on all the lies and propaganda that is pushed out by this regime and amplified by legacy media.
I love the clear explanations of what is happening and the real world ramifications.
I feeling better after listening - it’s validating and reassuring that I’m not going crazy. Opposite of doom scrolling. Thank you!

The actual relevant journalism offered by the PBS News Hour stands out among the opinion soup that is offered by other outlets.

Downhill since Judy Woodruff left. Used to be an excellent source of TV news to get facts and gain understanding an issue — and now I find it to be a waste of time. You used to hear both sides of an issue, and they had excellent guest experts provide commentary to deepen your understanding — in addition to Lisa DesJardins and Politics Monday with Amy & Tamara. Judy asked tough questions of guests on both sides (for example, how she pushed Janet Yellen on the child tax credit and inflation when she needed to). Biggest mistake to cancel Politics Monday. Also, they now omit key information when reporting on an issue — which I saw when I watched both CBS Norah O’Donnell and this show the same night (eg. CBS talked about how the regime in Syria is blocking access to much-needed aid after the earthquake - whereas PBS NewsHour just said that there’s not enough aid without any mention of the regime). Their segments have become fluffy and superfluous rather than focusing on substance. I don’t watch the news to hear a deep discussion with child psychologists when it comes to a topic like gun violence. It’s sad to lose what was a great source of news.
