Customer Reviews
Truly one of the best podcasts out there
After 2016 a lot of media outlets struggled with how to report the news after the rise of Trump and fake news etc. On The Media has the perfect solution: solid, informative and in-depth reporting on issues that are in the mainstream, but looking at them from a different point of view. I always feel like I’ve uncovered some sort of big secret that nobody else knows after listening to this podcast. And if that wasn’t enough, Brook’s voice is just so lovely and warm <3
Medienörderi - för alla
Vad är media? Ganska mycket när du lyssnar på den här podden - de uppmärksammar allt från gränskontroller till datavirus och - mer självklart - ordval i tv-nyheter och nyhetssajters ägarförhållanden. Riktigt lyssningsvärt! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
A critical view on what's said in media
It is what it sounds like: A show about what's on the news. On The Media still believes in real journalism, and we're thankful for it.
