The left is definitely covered. The center seems to lie heavily left. Trump is only in office for 5 weeks. The right sounds like, it is ok bashing Trump. I voted for Biden and after very little reporting on the Biden White House and weak leadership. I voted for Trump. This is a podcast I like listing to.

This should be called “Left, Further Left, and All The Way Left.” The token Republican voice gleefully admits she doesn’t even vote Republican. I had hopes of finding a politically balanced show, but this ain’t it.

Love listening to this show - hosts cut through sensational side of news and have heathy dialogue. I lean left and has been HUGE getting perspective of the right that is so well articulated. This has often caused me to think about things in different light!! If you are sick of news commentary that feels dogmatic this is your show!! Keep up what you are doing this is great content to put into the world!!

The Bulwark reported on this the part where the lawyers are being told they cannot represent certain people or they’re having their security clearance being removed

The center is no longer represented David is a host who does not express his own perspective often enough. The topics these days are very meta (discussion about discussions about topics). They need to return to more concrete policy discussions with some politics. Right now this feels like a much weaker show than it was

The female "right" host just said that women obviously can't show strength in the same way as men. She is in a party full of women like Greene, Boebert, and Ernst who are all doing the "tough guy" act better than any man in the DNC (except maybe Bernie). This is just one example of how this show is shallow and out of touch. They parrot platitudes and completely miss the reality happening all around them.

I find it very telling that there are very many five stars and comparatively to all other four scores there are many one stars. I think that is a clear symptom of ideological conflict and its attention warrants attention of its own.

I love this show, truly one of my top shows during this divided period in history. One point: Sarah’s interpretation of Trevor Noah’s podcast clip about school integration, is lacking a lot of context! I listened to that entire episode and do NOT think that Noah meant integration was a mistake by any means!! Listen to the entire episode of “What Now” before making conclusions, please!

I don’t feel like the right’s side is fully covered on this episode because she calls ‘book banning bad’ when really the right’s view on this is that books aren’t being ‘banned’ at schools. They’re being removed from age inappropriate placement. The huge majority of the books in question have explicit sexual content that would NOT be appropriate for school libraries even if all LGBTQ parts of it were removed from consideration (parent don’t want pornographic books in school, gay or straight!) they’re normally not being ‘banned’ from libraries either, parents just challenge their placement in categories for youth when they should be in the *adult section only* if they have adult content.

This show has gone downhill. The panelists have become repetitive, offering little fresh insight. While it’s understandable that both left- and right-leaning perspectives should be represented, KCRW seems fixated on bringing back the same Zionist voice repeatedly. Sarah is not a true conservative; rather, she serves as an apologist for Israel, consistently using the platform to push that agenda while vilifying Arabs and Muslims. The discussions have lost their balance and depth, making the show far less engaging. It was much better when Josh was the host.
