On the Media

To Brooke and Micah and the whole OTR team: I appreciate your excellence and integrity. Thank you (on this occasion) for your 9/4/24 episode about the change you’re making re ads. That you confronted the issue with listeners directly — and analyzed and commented on all the factors about adopting host-read ads — comes as no surprise because that’s who you are and that’s how you roll. Thank you. p.s. I’m heading to WNYC to make a donation now :)

Always engaging, critical takes on contemporary media.

Noticed a barrage of haters in the reviews, which surprised me given the centrist-left views that tend to be represented in this show. Generally, OTM is a solid source of media analysis. I once heard Brooke talk about the process of recording and editing episodes, which sounds like a lot of work. Much respect for this amazing show!!

Hi, long time listener, first time reviewer. This show keeps me grounded and sane even when it helps me realize how insane the world around us is sometimes. Brooke and Micah (and team) do a wonderful job putting all the pieces into place.
