“A truly engaging, well balanced and insightful Podcast on such a broad range of current issues that are generally not challenged with expert, in depth research but thankfully have been on this Podcast series.
A credit to all concerned and a ‘ must listen’ for ALL of us. 👏”

“I think Pareene is a great audio (and prose) presence. Glad he’s finally found a worthy show and co-host in Laura Marsh. Both provide smart journalistic inquiry into important and controversial issues in the news.”

“Don’t worry too much about going back to the 70s. It wasn’t all bad. College tuition was certainly less. Most people drove smaller cars that were a lot easier to park than today’s behemoths. The Castro District and the Mission District in San Francisco were kind of affordable. I wouldn’t want to...”Read full review »

“I have been going back through the past catalogue. There are just so many fascinating things which they have covered. I would love to hear a bit more about the New Right in the states, along with some of the other topics which they have covered.”

“No mention at all of the downside of debt cancellation. Why should I pay for another’s conscience, voluntary choices? Why should a responsible person who worked two jobs to pay his debt be played for a sucker by freeloaders? What lesson does this give to those who made a contract?”

“Super biased, and fairly idiotic. Good production though, must have wealthy backers!!”

“This is a podcast that, to date at least, has never failed to get my interest piqued, my attention fully engaged, and even, more often than not, my jaw dropping. The in-depth analysis is of rare distinction, the guests are usually fascinating, often incredibly astute and always well-informed....”Read full review »

“This is my first time writing a review but the what I just heard was so bad I thought I’d share.
I listened to the episode about Andrew Yang’s candidacy for mayor of NYC (where I and apparently the hosts live). It was a bizarre spree of superficial puffery about Yang’s social media- particularly...”Read full review »

“when I’m out of On The Media episodes, this podcast provides a lot of the same interesting analysis of media/politics, with some quirky stories and tangents thrown in. I love the hosts and hope that TNR continues to invest in podcasts like this.”

“A Stream of smug cliches and formulas, nothing resembling thinking much less debate or questioning, presided over by 3 hosts who seem able only to chirp other than talk, one of whom cannot put two phrases together without plopping a “like” between them. If you are looking for silliness, this is...”Read full review »

“The New Republic has become my first stop for all things on culture and politics and my hope this new podcast would be an extension of what I’ve been reading has been fulfilled.
Laura and Alex make a great team which can make heavy topics palatable. Looking forward to many more.”
