Customer Reviews
Progressive newbie
Great for getting "between the lines" of social policy debates from a progressive/"people" point of view. Especially the website - transcripts AND related links from all sorts of alternative, reliable, first-class journalists, academics and activists
Longer
This show needs to be longer. The scant interviews are heavily edited and deserve longer run times. Also, the sad lady voice that does the news is ridiculously low energy. She dead or something? Why doesn’t the host read the news?
