The Best News Podcast Available
This is simply my favorite podcast. Chuck is the best interviewer. He never gets in the way of an interview and he never makes it about him. He has a wide variety of guests and he allows them to present their views. He is always prepared for his interviews with intelligent questions that demonstrate he is familiar with the author's work. You simply won't find this type of content anywhere. He also draws on a variety of irregular correspondents who reside throughout the world to get perspectives from outside the US that are rarely if ever presented to an American audience. Other irregular correspondents present thoughtful commentaries on current events such as Jeff Dorchen's The Moment of Truth. I even like the local Chicago based aspects such as his conversations with Michael Roeper about beer. This is truly independent news. Four hours a week is not enough.Read full review »

Chuck discusses current news and political issues with knowledgeable and insightful guests while avoiding the pitfalls you hear from other political/ news sources. A must listen.

Chuck Mertz does an excellent job of questioning a wide array of guests -keeping away from the adoption of sacred cows with an offbeat sense of humor.

In depth conversations with knowledgeable guests and correspondents. A great source for both national and international news. Essential for anyone interested in politics and current affairs.
