Stilted, awkward, and halting Podcast
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 broached. The also seem overly forgiving and conciliatory towards government officials and policies as to seem little more than press releases for what comes out of Salem and Portland City Hall. The field reporters also tend to give an impression of not being particularly prepared for the episodes and usually only share the most obvious points of a story with little insight or even very organized thoughts. Very much a mixed bag, and quite low quality from what I would expect from a semi major news organization.

Great podcast for insight into Portland, Oregon, and the broader PNW.

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).
