Absolutely essential. I can’t recommend highly enough
This podcast is one of the few sources of news I can trust. Despite the fact that I consider myself a very political person, I always felt that the news was either a dispassionate rattling off of “facts” or triggered despair and unresolved trauma. Having taken courses on political theory and history of social movements, I didn’t feel the news reflected my understanding of the world and politics at all. Citations Needed showed me how much more critical I needed to be of my news sources and showed me why I couldn’t connect to news stories that were so sanitized and filtered or that were invalidating. It’s hard to read a story from the NYT about police brutality when the solutions offered are breadcrumbs. After listening to Citations Needed, Democracy Now, and reading the Intercept it’s really hard to look at NYT, NPR, CNN, and other liberal corporate media the same way. Having the ability to opt out and have a source that shows me information I would not otherwise easily have access to, and that questions media narratives has been absolutely essential for me.

I can confidently say that listening to their show has made...Read full review »
