A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I don’t give out 5 stars unless you earn it, and this pod does! I especially appreciate that you don’t have pundits and campaigns on the show. Jeff is an excellent host with just the right amount of levity and sarcasm mixed into the solid reporting. This is not only the best pod today, but maybe the best all time. Thanks!

Looking for an Honest Man · Aug 2024

I am now re-addicted to Washington Week. The light, informed and collegial tone set by Mr Goldberg makes this national governmental nightmare less of a trauma and more about facts. Plus he has constructed his entire set at home in the garage. Can’t beat that! Thank you Atlantic, for keeping this gem on the air for sane people who want to remain so.

I miss Robert Costa. But the new evolution of the WW show led by The Atlantic is great. Informative, and the host has perfect timing for a tongue in cheek comment.

I miss Gwen Ifill desperately, but I also like Jeffrey Goldberg just fine, and in truth I’ve been watching since Paul Duke hosted — when I was a young adolescent, avidly following politics while dabbling in homework assignments — so I’ve seen a lot of change. But your journalism has consistently been top-tier, and I’ve probably not missed an episode since the mid-2000s … what a lot of change. But you remain consistent. I appreciate a discussion show between informed journalists which is nonpartisan, and in which — increasingly a rarity today — there is no yelling! Journalism for thinking people indeed. Thank you!

Based on the search results, it's more accurate to say that PBS and NPR have covered discussions of "constitutional crisis" in relation to presidential actions, and that those discussions have been very heavily focused on the actions of the prior presidential administration. Specifically the presidency of Donald Trump. Here is a summary of what the Search results indicated. * Focus on the Trump Administration: * Much of the reporting and discussions on PBS and NPR concerning "constitutional crisis" centered on actions taken during the Trump administration. This included reporting on clashes with the judiciary, executive actions, and disputes over congressional powers. * The search results brought to light situations where legal scholars and experts have been quoted within those news agencies, saying those actions undertaken during the Trump presidency did constitute a constitutional crisis. * Contextual Reporting: * PBS and NPR have provided context by exploring the meaning of "constitutional crisis" and interviewing legal experts to analyze presidential powers. * These organizations have also reported on the debates surrounding the boundaries of presidential authority and the checks and balances within the U.S. government. * Biden and Obama Reporting: * While the phrase is used very heavily when describing the actions of the Trump presidency, the phrase is used sparingly if at all concerning Obama or Biden. When these presidents actions are reviewed, they are normally discussed within the context of legal debates, instead of using the heavy terminology of "constitutional crisis". * One of the search results mentioned Biden, specifically in relation to the 14th amendment, and dealing with the debt ceiling, this article was more about the analysis of that legal possibility, then directly stating that there was a constitutional crisis. In conclusion, PBS and NPR have reported on the concept of "constitutional crisis," particularly in the context of analyzing the actions and legal disputes of the Trump presidential administration.

I’ve always enjoyed watching Washington Week and listened to the podcast if I missed it Friday night. Suddenly, I couldn’t understand the podcast anymore unless I turned my 126 watt car stereo up to 90%. It’s like the host and the guest are all talking under water with socks in their mouths. The tv broadcast is ok and the podcast used to be listenable, I just don’t understand how this stellar program could be produced so poorly. I’ve deleted from my downloads.
