“The information given on the podcast is about mediocre, I suppose. However, it is is deeply marred by poor presentation and interviewing skills. The host meanders, doesn’t seem to command a direction for the topics discussed, and only the most anodyne, and uncontroversial subjects ever seem to be...”Read full review »

“Not every episode is perfect, but these generally go into far more depth than the oregonlive articles, and provide valuable insight into complex issues. They have a slightly amateurish feel, but that lends a feeling of authenticity - local Oregonians who know the background, politicians, issues,...”Read full review »

“Hit or miss pod for sure. Recent Lloyd Center piece was terrible, like pulling teeth trying to get the reporter to even say anything about what I think is a really interesting project.”

“Most episodes okay, but the recent one on Portland’s charter reform highlighted a lot of frustrations I’ve had with getting news from the Oregonian lately. The story spent more time in real minutes describing the reform measures as hard to understand, than they did explaining the reform measures...”Read full review »

“Andrew Theen is a rock solid host and I enjoy hearing the reporters give a different perspective on a story than you get from simply reading it in the paper (yes, a few of us still subscribe to have an actual paper delivered).”

“Every story is disproportionately biased to the point where the reports border on absolute fiction. Unvetted amateur journalists routinely give idealistic perspectives on topics that need more professional attention.”

“This is not a summary of the day's news stories, for that approach check out the sibling podcast "News Updates from The Oregonian."
"Beat Check" is a discussion with reporters about their stories and what when in the making of the stories. Provides valuable context and...”Read full review »

“Recently listened to the episode diving into Oregon’s unemployment insurance crisis. Hearing the reporters talk about the background of the story was great, but their interviews with two people who are stuck in red tape quicksand were terrific. Really drove the story home. Will be listening...”Read full review »
