Always assumes the left view is the only and right view.

Important, informed reporting. Your conversations will improve when everyone dumps the lazy lingo: “Pretty much,” “you know,” “right?” Be clear, crisp, concise.

Great podcast on Oregon news and politics.

OPB Politics Now reports on the major, historic changes to Oregon Urban Growth Boundary laws, which give the governor the sole power to approve expansion of growth boundaries throughout the state to bring semiconductor manufacture business. I fault OPB for completely failing to represent the...Read full review »

I found out today Gov. Kate Brown was sued if clemency efforts? I found out from a family member who heard it from Fox? I look it up and this story is two weeks old? Why isn’t OPB doing more regular, relevant podcasts?

Superb reporting. Great source for local news. Thanks

Always assuming the leftist view is correct without any real debate.

As a local, listening to the show’s coverage of current protests has been a disappointment. One reporter in particular injects his personal point of view and is openly dismissive and mocking of those who disagree with him.

Great podcast, I always appreciate the experience and perspective of all the reporters. My favorite source for local politics. As a newer Oregonian, I love hearing the historical perspective on the various races and positions. Helps me understand Oregon better.

Good local coverage.

Thanks for the “nerdy” coverage. We definitely need to keep our promises to those already retired or near retirement. It would be helpful if you would dig into the perspective of Oregonians who do not have pensions, yet need to see services diminish or pay higher taxes to support current and...Read full review »

Great podcast on OR unions. I’m new to the state and the reality of so many unions for many public employees.

In the last episode of Politics Now, the guests implied that a transportation bond measure is on the ballot in November, which is not the case. Metro Council has referred a parks and nature bond measure to the November ballot, not a transportation bond. It is regrettable that the parks bond was...Read full review »

This podcast is a current favorite. It’s interesting enough to hold my attention while being factual and balanced enough to not be part of the exhausting politics atmosphere that made me think I didn’t like political commentary. Thank you so much. You are my constant relaxing companion. Next up,...Read full review »

Listening to you guys talk baseball on your 3 works Pod, pleased me to no end. OPB should do a sports Pod! Hooked

I always learn something new, interesting, and pertinent to my life here in Oregon. It’s entertaining and just the right length so it doesn’t seem like an intimidating chore to get through. Keep up the great work!

This has been one of my very favorite podcasts ever since it came out. Contributors are knowledgeable and Julie Sabatier is a pro host/moderator. Could not more highly recommend.

Mapes and Lunch are like peanut butter and jelly or perhaps more like stolen bikes and used needles. Best Analysis of what's happening in the state and down in Salem.Read full review »

A fantastic way to stay informed about Oregon politics!

If you are looking for a nice overview and discussion of the week's top issues in state and local politics, look no further. Great addition to OPB's offerings.Read full review »

Pluses: Good to have an Oregon-centric news/politcs podcast, several of the hosts do seem to try to present things in a non-biased way. Cons: One host in particular, the news director, is so blatently, off-puttingly partisan that it makes me doubt the fairness of the whole production.

With the disappearance of state and local newspapers, it's particularly difficult to find good local reporting these days. This podcast is top-notch, relevant, and refreshingly spectacle-free.Read full review »

I just listened to a few episodes of OPB Politics Now and I think it is a good overview of local issues and how we relate to national topics. Realistic.

So glad opb does this - really important info & presented in an engaging way.
Rigga via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/25/16
I like this show - it's smart and authentic. It drives me CRAZY that Geoff Norcross repeatedly refers to Anna Griffin as "guy". Maybe I'm mistaken and she does really identify as a guy. If not, Geoff - try calling your co-hosts "folks" or "colleagues" - something...Read full review »

Love this weekly window into Oregon politics. Geoff Norcross and his panel cover a great variety of stories. I always enjoy "That's So Oregon," and at just under a half-hour the podcast is just the right length.Read full review »

I enjoy this podcast but have a few criticisms. I am interested in Oregonian politics and wish you guys would cover our representives in more detail. I thought the coverage of the DNC convention was abismal. The DNC email scandal is a very significant politically, and has implication that...Read full review »

Yes, finally a well produced, frequently updated Oregon politics podcast! Added to my daily playlist!
kandi2755 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/15/16
As a lover of Oregon and a native to the state, I greatly appreciate this podcast. Local politics matter, but these commentators take ordinarily dry subjects and make them interesting, personal, and compelling. The "That's So Oregon" segments are funny and true, highlighting the ways...Read full review »
