“Don’t know the backstory, but listening to your show nearly daily had become something I looked forward to. Our station has replaced your time slot with Freshair. It is lovely and inspiring, but airs 2x each day, so I would rather have the opportunity to listen to both. Hope you are all faring...”Read full review »

“I’m so sad it’s over, I recently started following this show on podcasts because I wanted to finish episodes I started hearing in the car. I really enjoyed that The Takeaway talked about interesting topics that were a little off the beaten path. They shared different perspectives and I really...”Read full review »

“I’m crushed to learn this podcast is ending … I feel like I only just found you!
These episodes encapsulate big ideas quickly, without much loss to either detail or nuance. Additionally, to a U.S. listener, each topic covered is one at the heart of our democracy. Although topical, each episode...”Read full review »

“Melissa Harris-Perry’s The Takeaway is inspiring and grounded at the same time. My local station, KQED, dropped it from the line-up and put a big hole, not just into the day, but into my daily reminders of how we are really faring. No other show covers how women, particularly women of color, in...”Read full review »

“I have long been a fan of public intellectual Melissa Harris-Perry. I watched her MSNBC show weekly when it ran in the early to mid 2010s and was thrilled when she was named host of The Takeaway. She doesn’t disappoint. Her interviews are warm, thoughtful, bold, and unapologetic in naming racial...”Read full review »

“Utilizes too much “newspeak” and doesn’t give enough time to the important stories it gives an entire 8 minutes to, after intro and ads.
When the topic is of personal interest to the host, much more passion and enthusiasm is given to those stories. This is, of course, at the expense of equally...”Read full review »

“I first saw Ms. Perry at The New School in New York where she was a member of a panel with Chris Hayes, Eric Foner, and Katrina Vanden Heuvel. She keeps issues of dire importance to the vast underclass front and center, but she does it with panache, intelligence, and a great reserve of patience...”Read full review »

BUT, Melissa’s voice turns my stomach! She has such a phony tone of voice ! Pathetic and conveys a superficial perspective!
One star for topics; one for the presenter.

“Podcast Listeners come to the podcast space longing for two things:

The Takeaway accomplishes #1 but fails at #2. In...”Read full review »

“It’s okay. There’s some moderately deep dives on extremely specific topics, but in doing that, I think the pod falls short of the full picture. Loses context in dealing with the details.
Also, like most NPR casts, leans center-left and is careful not to endorse dem-socialist views.”
