What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’m come to rely on this quick podcast to dive deeper into recent acts by the president and give a fuller picture in a short amount of time.

Twynmom · Aug 2026

This is a great short piece focused on one topic. Helpful to stay informed without feeling overwhelmed!

PeaceChick1 · Jul 2026

This podcast does an excellent job of delivering concise, informative episodes that stay focused on the topic at hand. I especially appreciate how it highlights the ways this administration differs from previous ones without getting sidetracked. The hosts consistently bring on knowledgeable, well-qualified guests whose expertise adds valuable context and depth to each discussion. It’s an insightful listen that makes complex topics easy to understand in a short amount of time.

H. See · Jul 2026

These clip like broadcasts are fantastic! They are Laser focused on one issue and have just enough of everything to get the gist. Keep them coming.

Generic Reader · Jul 2026

The most recent episode discussing the death of Kirk and the reaction from the administration was shockingly one-sided. No pushback was given by Steve when the guest spoke about how poorly treated the right has been and how that justifies their treatment of all groups that do not hold their beliefs. No corrections were made by Steve when the guest decried the horrors of hate speech, from the left, about the hate speech endorsed by Kirk and his organization. If you’re too fearful to report accurately, then please don’t report on anything. I don’t think this type of journalism will bring back the federal funding that was stripped away by this administration. I don’t think this type of journalism will get any supporters of the current administration to sign up for the premium subscription to NPR. For those of us that are members of marginalized communities, and live at the tip of this spear, your silence could be our death. A death that was celebrated by Kirk, and still celebrated by so many of his followers. Thank you for assisting them in covering up their true mission.

Soggy OR Fan · Sep 2025

While I like that NPR is doing a show dedicated to these trials, please make more of an effort to be nonpartisan. Having a guest comment that she’s “rethinking her life choices” because Ron DeSantis agrees with her on a legal point is not a good look, nor what drew me to this podcast. I think the public want more of the legal explanations and nuances behind these trials rather than hearing one side’s repeatedly characterized as “dumb.” Make that one improvement, and this is a slam dunk.
