From multifaceted reporting on the biggest stories of the day to the nuanced detail of interesting and slightly obscure stories you won’t find anywhere else, Here & Now has it.

“How could you possibly not ask Hatem Abudayyeh if Hamas bares responsibility for the destruction and deaths in Gaza after he accused Israel of genocide? Also how about a more critical analysis of the Hamas generated death toll that you take as gospel. This was an extremely poor and one sided...”Read full review »

“20+ years of listening to this show, it’s always good. I notice all the negative reviews in here are from either gun owners who can’t handle facts and/or racists. So, clearly they’re doing something right if they’re pissing off those groups.”

“This podcast performs mental gymnastics to claim America’s gun industry was built on racism and to help slave owners. Sadly NPR doesn’t just tell history stories anymore, instead everything must fit through their narrow lense focused on race.”

“Your new program “the gun machine “ is so biased and factually incorrect it is not even funny. Why don’t you just name it we hate guns? You should be ashamed of yourselves. I guess it is true, journalism is truly dead !!!”

“Its gone from a daily must-listen to absolutely unlistenable in a matter of months.
Devastating.
But also kind of impressive how quickly they destroyed it. I wouldn’t have even thought it was possible to make a long-standing success such an astonishing failure so quickly.”

Each time a segment finishes, I need to put in my phone’s password and then open the app, close that segment and open...”Read full review »

“... NPR has changed, and signed up to a highly partisan one-dimensional spreading of the woke gospel, with little to no alternate perspectives on offer. The programming, on a daily basis, has almost become predictable in all the virtue-signaling issues it’s going to hit upon. You can tune into...”Read full review »

“Well I tried. Gave this new format as much as my time as I could. Mark me as “unfollowing “.
Let me know when you are back to the former 2 hour podcast format.
Like others, I’m not able to listen live when this broadcasts in MA nor when it is broadcast in my current state.”

“What happened to my two full daily episodes of H&N? This curated “best of” may be liked by some but It’s not easy to listen to the full 2 hours on demand from WBUR website. No ability to play at 1.5x or 2x speeds. Please bring back 2 full episodes as option on apple podcasts. I’m in withdrawal.”

“I understgand the motivation for a shorter podcast.

It’s honestly not worth your time there’s too many other wonderful programs and podcasts. If they would return to the original...”Read full review »
