Please be Serious, Again

“I’ve been listening for years, and have alway considered “The World Next Week” an all-time favorite along with its sister podcast, “The President’s Inbox”. It pains me to give it anything less than 5 stars, which is where it used to be, but I unfortunately need to beg for improvement. I can understand if Dr. Lindsay had to pass the torch, but I struggle with the direction that’s Ms. Robbins is taking the podcast. Dr. Lindsay and Mr. McMahon always kept it profession and matter-of-fact; Ms. Robbins is overly fond of sighing and wondering aloud why we don’t get any good news. The podcast is literally about news relating to geopolitical challenges. At first, she tried constantly to inject humor and laughs into several episodes, which were particularly disruptive moments. I also must add that her editorializing, even if I tend to agree with her, strikes me as being unhelpful to the podcast. Perhaps most surprising, her influence seems to be negatively affecting Mr. McMahon and diminishing his usual rigor. I’ll stay tuned and hope that Ms. Robbins finds her footing in this new role, but I must beg that we get serious again. This podcast always felt serious and polished, now it’s veering away from that into something else. Since Ms. Robbins seems to be very fond of taking indulgences, I’ll not resist and take one of my own: I really wish that we could have gotten Shannon K. O’Neil.”

“The balance has been fixed with the voices coming out of both channels. However, I'm hearing a high-pitched whine when one of the presenters speaks.

“The show is great if you want to hear about stuff the news doesn’t normally cover, but the left leaning slant that comes out is annoying given the fact CFR claims it is a non-partisan organization. I have listened for a long time and it has gotten worse over time. At the beginning, the hosts at...”Read full review »

“This has become one of my favorite podcasts. In about half an hour a week, the hosts draw our attention to major events on the horizon and then quickly and concisely discuss and contextualize. Also, since the events they cover often fall geographically outside the scope of what the major...”Read full review »
