Current, informative & educational

Hey guys, Thanks for all that you do! You guys have been one of my fav. Companion this year, learnt a lot. I’m not American, you see! I know a lot more now than I used to about American politics, current affairs & the issues that matter a lot, to me.

Happy New Year to you all! Look forward to being your company in the upcoming year, when, we hope, the news about the President, is boring ;) Three cheers, to the entire team

Bernie Geiser ,

very informative, entertaining

This podcast is made by very intelligent and thoughtful people and they always find the right balance of a neutral discussion and saying the things that need to be said. If you are interested in the politics of the US, this podcast is a must!
As a Swiss citizen interested in politics, I listen to each and every episode - I can’t let it go!

Keeping me sane

Nothing like context and humor along with the news these days. NPR Politics is just amazing.
