Why are there nutrition labels required for the food we eat, but not the media we consume? How do you find out if the show you are sponsoring or listening to is saving lives or destroying the fabric of our democracy? The Media Roundtable is back in session for a new season this September but with a fun new twist. We are sharpening our focus to conversations with podcasters and creators about the shows they make and the reasons WHY they make them. The Media Roundtable season two will “unbox” other podcasts in each episode, providing a depth of analysis to help you decide what content is worth your time and dollars.
We live and work in a world that is deeply divided, while institutions and information are getting harder to trust. Our goal is to reward good actors with more attention and sponsor dollars so that we can feel good and do good through the shows we consume and support in the most entertaining way possible.

Customer Reviews
Great well rounded and though provoking podcast!
I really loved this last episode -Insider Edition.
I was just about to write a review of praise as well as request a deeper look into your views personally on any given reagent topic. You fully delivered! Big fan of Dan’s work and I also loved hearing from Jennifer. I know she is big part of production so to hear her voice and take on a subject matter only gives listeners like myself a more personal connection to what you are doing at Media Roundtable.
Great job all of you and I truly look forward to the next episode!
Top Three PAP
The new format might make this one the top three podcasts about podcasts. That said, the audio quality needs work. Particularly when balancing volume between all the round table discussion guests, and then the pre-recorded ads.
Really Meagan Kelly?
How can I take this show seriously if I’m the ad Meagan Kelly is features while speaking hypothetically. It is rich to hear a snippet of someone accusing others of injecting their personal feeling into the news considering that is what that very person practiced regularly. Sure noting wrong with going on a rant about the “fact” that Santa Claus is white. This is one of the people you choose to represent a show about balanced media?????
