On the Media
The Peabody Award-winning On the Media podcast is your guide to examining how the media sausage is made. Hosts Brooke Gladstone and Micah Loewinger examine threats to free speech and government transparency, cast a skeptical eye on media coverage of the week’s big stories and unravel hidden political narratives in everything we read, watch and hear.

Thank you for your integrity
Sep 4
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 :)
More focus on Gaza needed
4 days ago
For five years I never missed a show. However, it now seems like OTM goes out of its way to avoid covering media complicity in Apaetheid Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. Sometimes it’s easier to cover what is unimportant. I am pretty sure Bob Garfield would not be discussing fluff when the crime of crimes is being committed with the support of western media. No topic is more important for a program with OTM’s mission. OTM has become a textbook example of media complicity in genocide.
I miss Bob.

That is all.
Harris Has A Website: Trump Has 2025

Why doesn’t the media point to a candidate’s website and platform? It’s your duty to point out what is clearly there to read and understand, not just her lack of interviews. Why not give facts? And snippets of interviews that help listeners? Come on.
