Customer Reviews
The Scales Will Fall from Your Eyes
I first began listening to CounterSpin decades ago on my local community radio station, and soon made the commitment to follow it faithfully. This evolved to donating to FAIR and subscribing to the show on cassette and then CD. It's great to now be able to get it so simply by subscribing to the podcast. All those years have provided me a rich education concerning the shortcomings of the mainstream media and the many essential stories that they miss or distort. The last few years, CounterSpin has gone from a co-host format to just Janine Jackson at the helm, but with her consistently excellent work this is no detriment.
Good show
I like when I see a new episode pop up in my feed. Consistently good interviews.
Thank you
I listened to Counterspin in 2007-2012, my local radio station played it every week. I was happy to rediscover it a couple years ago in podcast form. Janine always does such good work, it’s something that I look forward to every week.
