Stop making everything about race when it’s clearly not. You are the problem

I am constantly learning new things from this podcast! I think Gene has always been great and I’m very happy with BA’s arrival to the team. My world has expanded and I look forward to continuing to learn!

Shame on you! No coverage at all of Gaza. Enjoy being propped up by being middle class liberals. Shame on you!

I love this podcast. I just listened to the public housing episode. Fanta Kaba was so good!!! It really got me thinking about the question of who gets to live where. I am always learning when I listen. Thank you so much for all of your work!

Absolutely amazing. Football is my thing! Has been all my life. As a player, coach, student and historian of the game, this is a story I never knew. Thank you BA Parker and the whole team for bringing this piece of history to the world. Moreover, thank you to all the hosts and team for the...Read full review »

I’m here for all B.A. Parker journalism. She’s so authentic and unique. Her storytelling leaves you wanting more.

I have enjoyed the show and topics of this show. I love the variety of the topics and subject matter and how informative it is.

why does EVERYTHING have be about RACE now???? America is a melting pot- literally everyone is a from a mixed culture- get over yourselves. It’s HYSTERICAL to me that anyone today in these modern times in America can talk about discrimination. Women, gay, blacks, jews, old, young, rich, poor -...Read full review »

WOW! I’m no Swiftie, but I know a mean girl take down when I hear one! It’s disturbing to hear women diminish or ignore the good that she’s done…while pontificating about what YOU think she SHOULD be & do. When you talked about the good… I could hear your eyes roll in that “what-evah“ way....Read full review »

Highly subjective, not any sort of reportage. The bias against “whiteness” is very obvious. NPR should be ashamed.

Listened to one one taylor swift. I’m not a fan of hers, but I became concerned as it became increasingly critical if her not because of anything she said or did but rather that shes white, has too many fans and won too many awards. So the host has to take her down a peg. Such a cynical and...Read full review »

“White people bad.” That’s the message of this podcast.

I look forward to each episode. So glad to have found this show earlier in 2023. Thank you for all your hard work!!!

Thank you for bringing to light the complex issues of public housing in New York. The young journalist did a beautiful job of bringing forward the facts and the human issues that intertwine in the complex issue of housing. Thank you for lifting her up and giving her a chance to show her talent. I...Read full review »

Excruciating, simply excruciating. It’s never too late to do something meaningful with your life.

I’ve been a “Code Switch” fan for years, and the programming is always top notch and highly relevant. This particular episode is a great example of programming that goes to new heights. Thank you!

Thank you for the wonderful episode on the Montgomery Bus Boycott Women leaders and participants! Very beautiful and inspiring!

Thank you to the team for making such a quality podcast.

If you listened to the the Arkansas episode, and you care even a little about schooling, please read Dr. Bettina Love’s latest book, “Punished for Dreaming.” School reform, such as what is happening in this latest episode, is a part of a calculated attack on public education. Thank you for...Read full review »
Dr. Teacher Lish via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/04/24
I’ve been enjoying this podcast off and on for some time now and I always appreciate it. But I came back to say I found the most recent episode, on Arkansas public schools, in front of a live audience and with such excellent guest speakers, very moving. So thank you!
Lachmot via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 01/03/24
Offering great perspective's on culture without centering whiteness! That’s what makes Code Switch an authentic listen. BIPOC thoughts, ideas, and cultures are highlighted and brought to the forefront of each narrative. We love to see it!Read full review »
Phenom-a-mom via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/03/24
I used to enjoy this podcast, but the tone has changed. I just listened to part of a recent episode about cooking, and the author of the cookbook seemed overly entitled, blaming her struggles with the publishing industry on white people; publishing a book is competitive for everyone, and there is...Read full review »

The opinions shared on Code Switch are almost always in line with current left-wing orthodoxy. I wish there were more viewpoint diversity. I want my views on race challenged, not just reinforced. I definitely wouldn’t say their conversations are “fearless.” The show is, however, well produced and...Read full review »
I don't have a "nickname." via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/27/23
B.A. Parker is a fantastic host, and I’m so glad she joined the Code Switch team! I’m currently traveling and listening to her conversation about ‘ethical travel’ with Shahnaz Habib - a must-listen that’s helped illuminate why I feel so confused and awkward as a ‘tourist’ pretending to be a...Read full review »

I absolutely love this show. I learn something new every time I listen to an episode. The episode about Bad Bunny is particularly good. I lived on la isla for a few years. Did my best to integrate into the community and not live like a long term tourist. So many of the things he said I felt...Read full review »

The November 2023 podcast episode featuring the two Palestinian poets was so incredibly moving and poignant, in large part because Palestinian humanity and voices have been erased in western media. Thank you for giving these two poets the opportunity to share their lived experience, their...Read full review »

Thank you for interviewing Ada Limón. I’ve loved your podcast for years, but this one is so amazing. Thank you for sharing her beautiful poetry.
KM044 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/29/23
I have many podcasts that I follow and loved many of them, but this is the first time I feel the need to rate a podcast because of how much it fills a void. Also I love the chemistry flow between the 2 hosts, their preparation, and the different perspectives they bring. I don’t always agree with...Read full review »

And probably from folks who know nothing about true race relations in the US. I'm sure they know very little about culture to boot. The vernacular is sometimes street level, but make no mistake, your hosts are not uneducated "kids" (as one reviewer stated). Sometimes truth to power...Read full review »

This one hit me hard. Being a Black Hispanic American who retired as a US Army Infantry Officer, your guess was absolutely on point about the environment, access to the education, perception, and still small demographics for Black Combat Arms Officers. I was fortunate to have gone the internal...Read full review »
Jun-one! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/27/23
This is pretty easy and has nothing to do with the conspiracy theories favored by the hosts. For starters the Biden administration argued for a special exception to be made. And Roberts in his opinion said that it’s as reasonable to exclude the military academies as they were not a party to the...Read full review »

One of the best podcasts available today, informative, entertaining, and definitionally enlightening. Thank you all for your work
Def a banana via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/12/23
This used to be one of my favorite podcasts. It had a really wide range of topics and there was a clear effort to include much more representation. Since Shereen left, it quickly devolved into a series of vapid stories that are poorly written, and the representation that was so refreshing has...Read full review »

Two morons reading propaganda scripts.
MikeEye21 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/27/23
Clearly a comedy. Poorly written, and just down right ridiculous. If you have the time to waste give it your 💯 attention!!!! If you actually have a life, don’t bother with this podcast
wow_disappointing via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/24/23
Two less educated people I have not heard. Their take on world politics, and current events is tantamount to that of a fifth grader writing a report for his elementary school teacher..
djmason9 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/24/23
There’s a reason people flee Africa to come to this country in record numbers. They seem to be unaware of how racist it is here given how well they do in their new home. However, for White progressives that listen to this nonsense my advice is to keep listening! There is always more work that...Read full review »

This may be the dumbest podcast I almost got through. At least get someone on this that you can understand. 🤪
noarminian via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/24/23
NPR puts out this junk now? With these kids on mic who don’t even know how to talk or if they do they uptalk and vocal fry? Really? And the grammar - seriously? It’s not worth 2 mins more of my life. These kids need to find another profession flipping burgers and probably will be forced to.
Dogluvr72 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/24/23
Love this show and have been listening for years, but the new co host Lori Lizarraga's vocal fry makes some episodes impossible to listen to! Worse than a Kardashian.Read full review »

The “Honoring our Ancestors” episodes are so conversational, honest, and graceful. I felt that while learning from your story, I was also being formed by how you told it. Thank you. May you feel the embrace of the Ancestors…Well done.
Frizzle Momma via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/11/23
The day I stopped listening was during an episode on Black representation in film. They were discussing horror and how we always die first (so they were saying). Someone brings up Alien and says the “Black guy dies first in Alien.” Or something to that extent. The Black guy’s name by the way is...Read full review »

Great podcast. I learn a lot and feel a lot listening to this podcast. I feel seen and see others. The latest episodes on honoring your ancestors are amazing.

This podcast is wonderful and deserves the highest recognition! This podcast was incredibly emotional!
prof hhb via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/29/23
Listened to one ep which was enough. The hosts were discussing an issue and positively tried seeing it from a LatinX, Black, and Indigenous people perspective. But as soon as they said “well what about Asians?” they immediately said no and implied that now essentially ‘it’s going too far and...Read full review »

Have listened from the beginning…what made the show so great was Gene and Shireen’s camaraderie, openness, and their ability to play off of each other’s strengths in knowledge, experience, and journalism. This remained true with other members of the Code Switch massive—Karen, Kumari, et al, but...Read full review »

Great episode but in Florida they (Hispanics) are still sleep. Hispanics ain’t woke as it pertains to the realities of how they are perceived by Republicans, and as it pertains to the positive impact they can have if they just WAKE UP and get involved. Wow!
