On Point | Podcast

Discovered this show, on NPR, late last year, can’t get enough of it! I really like that it tackles things we all may be thinking about, but feeling it’s just us, and no one else, thinking about it. Great Journalism, with believable, high level national and international guests, and—though it does bring a sense of urgency to certain subjects—overall, it is non-sensationalistic. It does tell it like it is, with care and objectivity. I’d say this show covers more issues, more intelligently, and better, than my former daily (national) 130-some years-old newspaper did, which I just unsubscribed from. For a long time I’d lost respect to Journalism (and I’m a non-practicing one, myself), but thanks to hosts such as this one, I’m regaining my trust in (at least) some of them. This show is definitely worth listening to. I do wish it was longer, as 48 minutes just isn’t enough to tackle some of the issues discussed, in greater depth.

The “bro” podcast as you call it, assuming youre talking about joe rogan. Joe Rogan was a democrat. Democrats went crazy and more so far to the left that it left the reasonable people on the sidelines, thats the problem Jack. You have a very shallow view of some things. You need to open your ears and listen.

I love the Jackpod but haven’t seen an episode of it lately.

Story about car headlights? Why don’t you have a show about doorknobs and the relative pros and cons? JM and Joseph /BEAUTIFUL, MEGHNA 11/8****Love the Jackpod — both the venerable Jack and the brilliant (and my fellow gen Xer) Meghna. The combination of history, literary allusions, social critique is perfect. A new breath of life for Boston NPR. But I’d still like less of the lockstep woke ideology more broadly speaking at the organization — or for it to be balanced with more moderate povs.
