Customer Reviews
It’s really good
It’s a great place to see all the news that you need to see around the world! Everyone should listen to this podcast it’s great and awesome to listen to. It’s definitely a podcast you have to listen to everyday!
A treasure
This show models the value of excellence and integrity in activist reporting. You will learn more here in one morning than you could learn in a month of gentle morning shows from The NY Times or NPR, which often resort to sanitized language in a futile attempt to appear unbiased, or take quotes from “both sides” without asking hard questions to anyone who actually wields power. I can’t listen every day because it can be too much truth to bear sometimes but there is Amy G, seemingly tireless, steady, present for a new generation— thank God for that— I just hope that she dances at the end of the day to her fabulous soundtracks!
The Best Of American Journalism
Amy Goodman is the best, hands down.
