What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Eugene Daniels is black gold, and Jonathan Capehart is my Santa, okay! The group provides intelligent commentary, knowledgeable guests, they’re not afraid to get rid of the sugar-coating, and they bring historical context to our current affairs. Their laughter makes the disheartening state of the country easier to digest.

RyderCA · Jan 2026

This crew makes my weekend, and the news, so much easier to digest. I see some folks get irritated at the sirens, or the giggling, and I can understand that. Personally, I love the outtakes, the giggles, etc. I think it does its version of breaking down the fourth wall in a pleasant way. Ty!

IgroWEED · Jan 2026

What is up with the sirens constantly in the background audio during 8/31 episode? Are you adding scary noises to the track to keep listeners on edge (like true crime shows)? Or are you recording in a studio with windows open to a street full of EMS vehicles? Or is there a full-blown riot outside the studio? You’re filming in DC - is the Nat’l Guard about to breach your set? None of the hosts seem to notice or explain the bizarre phenomenon to the audience - are they all deaf or just pretending not to notice? MSNBC seems to think we can’t hear the background noises of their shows — the clanking jewelry, the constant Sharpie scribbling of hosts while guests are talking, dogs barking, phones & computers beeping. Most of your listeners & watchers own high-end electronics that enable us to hear every noise in crispness, including sirens. Do your producers & directors care at all about their craft? Or is no one paying attention? It’s a long-term, systemic issue on many MSNBC shows. We notice & are annoyed daily. Fix your audio.

I gave this show a chance and haven’t turned back. I love Symone, Alicia and Michael. This has replaced all political/news shows for me including morning Joe which used to be my favorite. Glad that they are moving from the weekend to the weeknights so I can get more of them. The new set of 3 have big shoes to fill and only time will tell if I continue to tune in.
