“Sure, I love this show, even in bits and pieces, as that is the only way it is presented now. But why not the option to just download entire shows, because these shows are fabulous, what with the music, and the politics, and the smartipantsiness and the this and the that. Come on PRI - we want...”Read full review »

“PRI and NPR need to think that if they only cater to boomers and don't offer anything that is culturally simpatico to people under 40 that they will slip into irrelevance just like major network news has done. There are rumors that there might be some way to resuscitate this program, I am...”Read full review »

“This podcast is one of my favourites. Faith and her correspondents are always funny and engaging with a good mix of hard and light news stories. The musical guests are usually pretty good, and I will often find one of my favourite bands appearing on the show. Unlike the late night TV talk...”Read full review »

“I am crushed! Faith and the Fair Game team have been a daily dose of news and entertainment for the last several months, and I just learned today that the show has ended! It was too short-lived, and I really feel like it had recently reached a groove - segments that had worked became regular...”Read full review »

“1. The host uses "ya'll"--the desperately needed second-person plural. 2. While satirizing the notion of a liberal-biased media they manage to substantiate that claim within its very dismissal. Very meta comedy chops. 3. The host's warm, honeyed voice. 4. The Onion and The...”Read full review »

But the presenter, Faith Salie, is bubbly and yet intelligent enough to ask interesting questions. Always interesting to hear the musical guests. I listen every day.

“. . . is Faith Sailie. She's very funny and very smart (I say that based on her interviews; watch out Terry Gross!) This is a terrific show! The comedy is usually gold, and at it's worst, HUGELY amusing. My only real complaint is that there's not enough of it. I'm not a fan of...”Read full review »

“Clearly, it's not for everyone. It may be a generational thing. If you hate snarky thirty-somethings hipster humor and indie music, there is nothing for you here. I think they put on a great show and the music segments are always interesting. Sooooo....it's probably just you.”Read full review »

“A fairly tedious show that's a roller coaster ride between good and a lot of below average material. There are so many of great things out there and so many other fantastic shows we still can't get on podcast, it amazes something like this sneaks through. Nice try but it doesn't work.”Read full review »

“This show seems like it was written by a robot that has been fed loads of information about this alien genre of "humor." There's parody, snark, sarcasm, faux naivety, faux gravitas...but it fails to be anything more than grating and stilted. It's snark without wit, parody without...”Read full review »
