Customer Reviews
This is a fantastic Political Podcast
Gwen Ifill and the Washington Week Podcast are so refreshing in the face of how partisan the mainstream journalists and pundits have become. This is exactly what we need in such a dynamic election year! Please keep up the excellent work.
Shameless
I cannot believe how biased WWR has become. I used to listen as far back as the classic liberal, Paul Duke, but at least Mr Duke tried to be objective. Mr Costas makes no effort to hide his leanings, and his guests take his cue.
Superb insight
It's wonderful to have access to this show on such a timely basis each week. The insight offered by the guests and the exchanges between these very knowledgeable specialists is unequalled anywhere else. It's a highlight of my week. Just when you think it's all over for another week, the podcast extra offers an especially enjoyable additional nugget. Washington Week is a dignified and tremendously enjoyable look at the week's events. Thanks to Ms Ifill and PBS for making such top-quality programming available to our IPods.
