Great journalism
I love it and listening to every podcast. Great show!
great voice, great show
Tom Ashbrook is one of my favorites on NPR. Im always amazed how much he knows about everything. Great interviews and his shows are always super interesting. All topics allowed! I don't miss a show!

Great show! It catches very well the zeitgeist of our time. Tom is certainly one of the best interviewers in today's broadcasting business!
I miss the "old" streaming player of the podcast though... I could better control the way I was listening to the show... Now if you happen to have a stream interruption for some reason for instance bad reception you have no choice but restarting all over again. That is very unpleasant!
