This Week with George Stephanopoulos - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Please do not stop producing an audio This Week podcast. Many have very busy lives and need to feed their knowledge while flying, driving, exercising, preparing meals, etc. Audio podcasts can be heard in the increments schedules permit.

This show is a fantastic treat to wake up to every Sunday morning. George and his panel are insightful and informative. My one complaint is with the podcast not being uploaded in a timely manner.

As a loyal listener of This Week, I’ve grown to expect respectful, enlightening discourse on the expert panel. That was not the case this weekend.

In particular, Roland Martin brought a mix of vitriol, sexism, and party hackery, that drove me to turn off the podcast. In all my years, I’ve never seen a panelist attack two other panelists personally. It was rude and uncalled for.

Making matters worse he repeatedly talked over and interrupted one of the female panelists. Won’t ever watch another episode he is involved in.

My Sunday ritual consists of morning coffee, breakfast, and this week with George and the crew. I love how this show takes everything that was news worthy throughout the week and puts it into a 1 hr show/podcast. I also appreciate the Democratic and Republican responses and George’s ability to challenge both sides. Love Martha and George! Get rid of Chris Christie. Worst commentator and nothing he says is thoughtful or correct.

Every other news podcast updates on a timely basis. This one almost never does. The word “news” states it all — any show about current events is relevant only while it’s timely and current. While still new. The failure to post this podcast within hours (and sometimes days) of its broadcast makes it irrelevant.

I subscribed because I saw a graphic on MarketWatch that identified ABC news as one of the most reliable and least biased news sources. I have been listening to the ABC news podcast “Start Here” for about a year and have found it incredible neutral/non-biased and super informational and trustworthy. I was hoping this podcast would be the same but it is not. There is a clear left wing bias in much (not all) of the reporting done. I will likely continue listening but it has lost some credibility to me.
