The Briefing with Jen Psaki - Podcast Rankings and reviews

An interesting podcast with a lively host, but the editing is terrible. How can a national broadcaster treat its podcast audience with such contempt? Adverts frequently cut off the host mid sentence or even mid-word, long silences are included that make a listener stop and check the podcast is still working, and rough edits sometimes even include behind the scenes communications with producers. Very sloppy. Amateur podcasters can do better than this. Embarrassing for a corporation like MSNBC.

Jen is a great presenter for this subject matter. The range of commentators and guests from various parts of the political spectrum help at depth to what can easily be one sided stories. All in all a great show that I always look forward to hearing. It obvious that everyone involved works hard at making the best show possible.

Except for whoever controls posting the podcast.

The show being cut off due to weird ad break alignment is forgivable. Sometimes, that’s out of the show’s hands for technical reasons. What is fully in their control though is posting the correct show in the first place! Often, the Monday posting is a repeat of Sunday’s show, even though the title and description have changed. An occasional slip is almost inevitable, but lately it’s upwards of 50% of the time. Worse yet, the blunder isn’t corrected until around Thursday (if at all). I’m not sure if the person in charge is too busy or just doesn’t care. Whatever the reason, please fix it. The fans and everyone involved in production deserve better.

Please & thank you.

My one problem is that the earlier episodes are no longer on the podcast. I missed a few that I wish I could go back and see. Also, the episode for October 15 hasn't posted after 2 days. I am a Trump supporting Republican but also like to hear from the other side so that I can be an informed voter. I value this show because you truly seem to believe in what you say.

I have been hoping Inside with Jen Psaki would become a podcast and here she is! I think she is a valuable journalist during these troubled days.
