The Journal.

I’m speaking of this program’s occasional deep dives on newsworthy topics over several episodes, like the one I just listened to: The Missing Minister.

This would be my favorite podcast but adding background music while listening to the report is very distracting. If the reporting is top notch, music should not be necessary. There is so much multitasking attempted these days contributing to short attention spans. If I want to listen to music, I will choose my genre and artists. If I want serious stories, I don’t want music disrupting listening to the orator. WSJ can and should do better.

title says it all — less polarizing nonsense, more journalistic integrity. I’ve learned a lot from this pod, kudos to those behind it.

Assumes that listeners are uninformed.
