Best news variety hour on radio
This is the best, most wide-ranging news variety show on the radio, hands down. I heard it once while on a roadtrip, and I wish my local NPR station would air it! The focus on issues faced by people of color is much better than other NPR programs and I really appreciate that aspect of it. So many topics are covered. Interesting stories you don't hear other places as well as better examinations of top news than most other news shows. Every once in a while they miss the mark, usually by having on a guest who is somehow a slimy person, but I will go to their website if what I am hearing sounds wrong and research the guest and usually find that they are disreputable. But when you do a show with 5-12 topics a day, sometimes those bad guests slip through. But even they at least provide a different perspective to keep your critical thinking skills sharp. Excellent, excellent show.Read full review »

More reviews of The Takeaway
Prefer in-depth analysis with guests. This one follows the usual trend, keeping it mostly superficial, entertaining, and with music and sound bites for variety. Love Amy Walters' commentary, and she is among the very best, but on the podcast she is yielding to entertainment realities.Read full review »

This episode is an inspiring tribute to the life, work and legacy of bell hooks. The segment with the founding members of the Crunk Feminist Collective explores important themes of what it means to meet young people where they are. Melissa Harris-Perry is doing great work with the Takeaway.
