“I am very disappointed that the show is not more about equality, inclusion and balance.
You really need to have an equal number of men and women on this wonderful show.
This is not the fairness, balance and inclusion we fought for.”

“What’s wrong with NPR that it takes literally days to provide the latest episodes? Friday News Roundup becomes useless by the time it’s made available here.”

“Y'all, I used to be able to rely on this being quality, and this is absolutely no shade to the hosts. Multiple times now I've encountered basic errors in finished episodes(fri 4/12/24 weekly round up), either ending literally mid sentence or mis-posting an entire episode as an episode...”Read full review »

“This show needs a new host. Jen White was great the first couple of years now she just mails it in, any time she hosts now its just “let’s revisit a conversation I had few months ago” also she hasn’t done the Friday news roundup in a year it’s always fill in hosts. It’s time to get a host that...”Read full review »

“Interesting topics, well presented. It is US-based, so most of the topics deal with issues of interest to Americans, but the presentation is thoughtful enough that even the very US-oriented segments, like around elections, are worth listening to.
Thoroughly enjoyable”

“NPR has pretty much gone the way of corporate radio media. All they do is advertise for Trump and leave out anything that actually is news.
I won’t be listening to NPR anymore as they are starting to sound too similar to FOX, MSNBC, CNN and others. If you look at numbers and statistics the...”Read full review »

“The 8 year old boy was named Adam Samer Al-Ghoul and Israeli troops shot him. He was not killed some random way during an Israeli raid. The victims have names, hopes, dreams, and mothers who love and mourn them. And they are killed by Israel. Shame on you for not naming this victim and for using...”Read full review »

“The biggest failure of the hip-hop 50\1a record club episode was that people continuously talked about hip-hop has only a musical form. Hip hop is culture. It is not youth culture, but Black and Latin folk culture that got globalized. To reduce hip-hop to only its musical output, is to defend its...”Read full review »

I love the ‘personal’ aspects that Jenn brings to a conversation- she reacts in her own personal way. I’m glad...”Read full review »

Preclampsia. Really? If the topic is going to be brought up during the time you host, at least familiarize yourself with the words you’ll be using surrounding the issue.
