Best political commentator of the current era
I discovered this show on kpfk a couple years ago and pretty much have been listening everyday since. This is the only show that I listen to as consistently as I do. Ian Masters is always clear and concise. He gets to the bottom of the issues and isn’t afraid to ask the questions other journalists won’t ask. Either they’re afraid to or told not do. Ian is truly independent, the key to why he’s been so effective in his work up until now, especially relating to the Trump-Russia connection. He’s not tied to any one party, ideology, or mode of thinking. Finally, Ian is not a comedian, I know he’s not usually trying to be funny, but sometimes he says things or just says them in ways that make me burst out laughing. He’s hilarious without trying to be, probably why I like him so much.

Love, love, love this podcast, and the musical breaks rock... just wish some of them were longer. Brilliant analysis and excellent guests... I never miss an episode.

Loved the Labor Day coverage! This podcast covers the most important topics of the day. Ian is a great interviewer and has important guests. Also the short musical breaks are chosen to match the topic of the interview! Highly recommend this podcast!
