Balanced Journalism is Important
This summer, my husband introduced me to this podcast. At first I found the variety of topics interesting. Generally, there was reasonable depth to the subject matter discussed. The two hosts are clearly good friends, and they do joke a bit with each other. They also seem to follow a script, which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I generally liked the podcast until, in November, a particular topic about alternative medicine came up. The statement that doctors don't know anything about herbal remedies struck me as biased harmful journalism. Did they ask any doctors for peer-reviewed studies about herbal remedies? There are plenty of studies available, and doctors know that these are basically un-regulated drugs. Since then, the podcast has irritated me, so I've stopped listening. Balanced journalism that represents facts is important. I do not recommend this podcast.Read full review »

Seriously guys, I'm giving you...Read full review »

Litened to first two podcasts and they were both overpoliticised and not really useful. They are also targeted very much for the US market. No idea why it is one of the top podcasts, but avoid it if you can.
