“It’s hard to go through a single minute of any episode without hitting on glaring distortions and outright fabrication of facts. It is a disgrace that NPR hosts what passes as erudition to their uncritical unsuspecting even naive audience.”

“This show is sometimes worth a listen, and oftentimes not. I’ve listened to it on and off for some time. That said, the fact that they would title an episode about spitting on someone’s grave is honestly a disgrace. I’m aware of Andrew Jackson’s history and his reprehensible treatment of Native...”Read full review »

“Listening to this episode was definitely informative. I had to pause and think of those who are needlessly dying in Gaza. Having visited Israel several decades ago I have an understanding of their position and that of those living in Gaza. But I would be remiss if I didn’t say that the Arab...”Read full review »

“Code switch had a good episode on how our taste evolves. Neutral and informative. The code switch under fake neutrality used some wisher that Latinos stay repressed label succeeding Latinos who search for their own opinions and identity instead of following the herd are “Defectors”. That’s hate...”Read full review »

“Wow, a bunch of hog wash. As a Cuban immigrant, listening to folks that are actively promoting illegal immigration makes me want to support Trump even more! Your entire cast and guest, especially the 9/25/2024 crew, have a strong case of TDS due to the woke mind virus and the marxist media...”Read full review »

Somewhere along the line the narrative changed to one of activism. I’m not sure the hosts and...”Read full review »

The quality of the content isn’t the same, and the newer hosts don’t bring it quite the same as Gene and Shereen.

“Entitled, insensitive, arrogant hosts apply woke values to real life situations and tell stories in a manner that is appallingly cruel - truly confoundingly awful stuff. Listen to episode 70 of Blocked and Reported for an example which says it better than I can. Zero stars if I could.”
