Usually great, but Mara Liasson makes it worse
I adore this podcast, but find myself having a hard time when Mara Liasson is on. This last episode on 7/16 out the nail in the coffin for me. She talks over everyone, speaks with such patronizing tones to her colleagues, and overall makes it an uncomfortable experience. I appreciate good dialogue and back and forth, but there’s no conversation when she’s on. The political state is laden with enough anger and vitriol, I’d rather have an actual conversation where I can get the facts and hear EVERYONE’s point of view, instead of Liasson just bulldozing every point with her opinion. Keep up the great work to everyone else!

But not for relatively unknown journalists. I need some buy in first. Why should I care about their perspective? Working for npr is not...Read full review »
