“It is the fault of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that people still refer to the church as “Mormon” or “LDS” as these names, at one time, were used by the church itself. However, the church has never been referred to as “The Church of Latter-day Saints” by any one but the most...”Read full review »

“I have always just found this show uninteresting divisive and annoying. It’s even worse now after the host change…..it’s just a jumbled mess…I think this is part of Nprs problem. They just don’t get how out of touch they are…the assumed moral and cultural authority is gross”

“The tone of the recent post-election episode was astounding to me. NPR has failed entirely to report effectively on trump, the risk his politics pose, and the seriousness of the moment.
Giggling and taking a holier than though attitude about not being surprised. Really? Nit picking specific ads...”Read full review »

“Unprofessional, journalistically dubious - a pretty dreadful show. This is why I don’t listen to NPR shows anymore. It’s a shame to see such a storied organization self destruct by creating this kind of dogmatic nonsense.”

“About time to reclaim the corporate co-opted definition of “culture” and “celebrity”, and shed the superficial glitz! This new segment is both entertaining and educating. Looking forward for more.”

“I’m disgusted that the anti-Israel bias is across all programs of NPR, including cultural programs that I want to avoid speaking about non-cultural topics. Why is it that they never host Israeli lecturers or political analysts? As a patron and fan of NPR, I’m disgusted to see this naive one sided...”Read full review »

“I get the sense that NPR is pushing all of its affiliates to keep emphasizing Hamas instead of accurately calling it was it is. It’s not a war, not a conflict. It’s genocide, being committed against Palestinians by Israel and the US. I continue to be so disappointed with NPR content that I used...”Read full review »

“Used to love this show. However in past few months they have discussed only how Israel
has attacked Gaza, and barely mention the crimes Hamas has done. They bring up that Israel was tried in international court but don’t question why Hamas wasn’t there. Where is the standard for being anti terorrist”

And she keeps things moving at a nice pace: not too slow, but gives topics time to breathe. Give this a...”Read full review »

“The show’s host, producers, and guest (former npr host noel king) took a 8/23 Vivek Ramaswamy debate soundbite out of context to imply that the Republican candidate is somehow in favor of Marxism. They played a heavily edited clip where Vivek tells Pence that “I have a news flash: the USSR...”Read full review »
