Sextortion is a growing problem and more people need to be aware.

I listened to the podcast with great curiosity and increasing incredulousness. Is it possible for an alleged news source to provide spread more disinformation in 9 minutes? First note, they discuss Israel “dropping bombs” on the same day ceasefire was agreed to without any mention that it was in response to rockets being shot from Gaza. The discussion regarding the nonsense Hamas casualty number of 46K+ “mostly women and children” casualties which is not only statistically IMPOSSIBLE given the demographics of Gaza but Hamas itself admitted that it does not have information to support even HALF of its casualty tolls (especially considering they always have numbers within moments of a strike unlike any other nation in the history of war games) but the UN has also confirmed that Hamas has not appropriately accounted for it alleged dead (spoiler alert - it bc they are combatants and/or a lie). The MOST INSANE minute was the discussion of Palestinians detainees being exchanged for hostages. Detainees? These are convicted terrorists. 2 of which are serving life sentences for mutdering a sleeping family of 5 in bed. The oldest child was 4.5 years old. Another proudly admits that raping and stabbing a 19 year old girl was “the greatest gift he gave Allah”. Detainees?? You discuss the Israeli “squeeze” without any mention of the TONS (literally) of aid that Israel has gotten through the border which every single NGO and UN group has admitted is being stolen by Hamas for financial gain or to simply increase the demonization of Israel? Bc god forbid Hamas be held accountable for their well documented decades length of human rights abuses against their own people. Who is served b this tragic miscarriage of journalism? Do not even get me started on the FIVE 2 STATE SOLUTIONS that have been rejected by the Palestinians. It was never about the land…You know that right?!? The responsibility of how long and horrible this war falls squarely on the West and this irrational desire to make sure that Hamas doesn’t take responsibility for any of their atrocities. But why? Make it make sense ….if I could give this podcast a less than 1 star review I would. Shame on you.

The photos of the subjects are interesting, makes it more interesting to review that particular subject that you’re on. Keep up the good work keep focusing on the important subjects of this planet. Thank you.💪. Very good info, you guys are giving the facts and not too much opinion good. Your info is short and brief and to the point not too much garbage thank you. Vincenti.

I don't like the fluff episodes about horses loose in London, fax machines in Germany, etc. I prefer a more focused podcast feed. I have lots of podcast options. If I wanted a fluffy podcast, I'd go get a fluffy podcast. Please focus.

‘Nuff said.

State of Ukraine was an excellent podcast that kept listeners up to date on a variety of topics pertaining to life in Ukraine and Russia’s ongoing war on Ukraine. NPR rebranded the podcast as State of the World, which provides far less information about Ukraine. World events are important, of course, but NPR has many other ways to share that information with listeners. I only listen to episodes about Ukraine, and wish there was more coverage.

This is exemplary of literally the worst kind of reporting. The reporter not just paints an event in the color of her own views but also omits most important facts. Thus deliberately trying to incite animosity. Supreme Court of India is a fairly apolitical body and for this reason regarded highly by all communities. When this court decided on giving this land to Hindu’s for the construction of temple, it looked at the hard facts and not just what a group would claim as suggested in this report. Archeological survey of India had conducted extensive excavation of the site and found ancient Hindu relics pointed to this being the site of an ancient Hindu temple built on the site where Ram( a Hindu deity) was born. In 16th century that temple was destroy by Muslim invader and a mosque was constructed on top of the rubble. most remarkable in the construction of this temple is the continuous communication and support of Muslim religious leaders. They accepted that it is was one of the holiest site of Hinduism just like Mecca is for the Muslims. besides the mosque that stood on top of it was never used for prayers. That town has several other mosques that were used for worship by the Muslim population. (Reports suggestion that Muslims will have to go far away to pray is baseless). How the two communities came together for the construction of this temple is exemplary. It’s hard to understand the true motive behind reports characterization of this temple as controversial. Regardless, this report is in bad taste if not in bad intentions.

State of Ukraine is now State of the World: with much less coverage for Ukraine. Is the Russo-Ukrainian War no longer as important in the scope or world events? Why not offer both, State of the World as well as State of Ukraine? Or is this a decision to chase clicks and views?

This used to be focused on the war and invasion of Ukraine. I’m not sure what happened, I didn’t subscribe to a podcast about the state of the world. In fact I can’t see Ukraine mentioned at all in the last 5 or 10 episodes. What a shame, I’ll have to unsubscribe and find another podcast about Ukraine.

Like the Biden administration, you are abandoning Ukraine.
