Molly on show 1000 reminded me just how much I miss her.

“I’ve given the new cohost arrangement a solid couple of years and the more I listen the more annoyed I get. Kimberly Adams, while an excellent journalist on the regular Marketplace shows, is basically unlistenable on MSM. The chemistry with Kai feels strained and the general approach to this show is supposed to be much more wide ranging in its topics than it has been since Kimberly became the permanent cohost. Honestly I knew that she would be given the nod as soon as Molly announced her departure because Kimberly hits all the demographic sweet spots. But when Sabri Ben-Achour guested I found the show much more enjoyable and he should have been given serious consideration as Molly’s replacement. Update: I just listened to #1000 and was instantly reminded just how much I miss Molly. Her interactions with Kai are much more relaxed and it really contrasted with how stilted the interactions are between Kai and Kimberly. Plus, Molly is very real on the show and always had been. Kimberly on the other hand has never been that real on the show. We all know when someone isn’t being genuine and with Kimberly it’s quite obvious but I’ve never really been able to put my finger on it until now. Kai can’t carry the show for me anymore. But there’s good news in that Molly has a new podcast called Everybody in the pool. So I am unsubscribing from MMS and getting my Molly Wood fix again. Oh and not for nothing but all of the reviews that complain about how “liberal” the show has gotten clearly have been listening to too much right wing propaganda. Content wise the show is still very informative and provides good information especially when they do their weekly interviews with experts. They’ve also done a better job since my original review of getting back to a more expanded set of topics and issues which I do appreciate. It’s Kimberly’s fake demeanor and unprofessional digs at Kai which have made the show unlistenable for me. So I changed my rating from 3 stars to 1.”

“This is the kind of biased media spin that puts people into ignorant liberal bubbles and led to the democratic losing hundreds of elections since 2009. Intellectual Diversity and unbiased factual info > close minded bias like this podcast”
