Both the host, Ian Masters, and his guests generally offer insight into the day’s breaking stories. While Ian can a be long winded, at times, with his questions/commentaries, he’s bright, honest, and humorous - I love some of the expressions he uses to describe Trump and his cronies. And, somebody at Background Briefing, whether it is Ian or his assistants or producer, has a wonderful knack for coming up with guests who you normally do not see/hear in the mainstream media.
