Customer Reviews
Music super annoying and not appropriate to the serious content
The content is good but the music is loud and silly and literally sounds like it’s for a cartoon or Pink Panther or something. Very distracting.
Obvious second fiddle to The Daily
When the hosts get around to the meat of their story it’s good content, but wow do they take their time. An audience that goes out of their way to consume a news podcast probably doesn’t need the Basic Content of the story explained to them (it’s usually in the episode title), or questions with clear answers asked on their behalf.
The hosts of the Daily sound like they’ve read the article being discussed. The hosts of Post Reports seem to enjoy pretending they lived under a rock until the exact moment they went live. It’s dishonest. You’re journalists, you went to school for this. Please act like it, we need both diversity AND quality in our news rooms.
Also, feel free to go back and note how many times the female hosts/guests get talked over/down to by their male counterparts. Especially notable in Sidebar.
Long decline
Not all, but most of the coverage discussing the Israeli-Hamas war is missing a LOT. Tittles of stories can also be obnoxiouslywritten to slant the story. It’s not about feelings, it’s about facts. Tell the story of the facts. While Israel warrants criticism for large civilian casualties, please involve Hamas in the story. Very little discussion that Hamas is still firing rockets at Israel, Hamas still has hostage, Hamas is still embedding itself within civilians and political organizations . Hams is still saying, right now, they would commit another October 7 all over again . The destruction of Israel is still in their constitution.The rise of anti-Semitism is also rampant, with the word “Jewish” being hidden behind the word “Zionist“. Playing a soft, sad keyboard, when discussing the war, without mentioning Hamas, or their continued use of weaponry is poor journalism. This slants the narrative by failing to discuss what Hamas is, and how they view Israel… how about a story on Hamas constitution?
