I like it

A quick witted podcast that will give you some insights into the hell-hole that seems to be todays journalism landscape.

bortolono ,

Funny and sane

A funny and smart podcast, pointing out the insanities of the current media world without the usual apocalyptic overtones

Hostime ,

Prostasia episode poorly researched

I used to be a fan of this show, but the episode about the Prostasia Foundation was inadequately researched and ignored the many red flags associated with this organization. Very disappointing.
