A must-listen-to show. The theme song needs to go though. So smarmy! Otherwise the cast have a great rapport and talk about some big-picture journalism hot topics. Mostly national ones … but add more local examples, please. Also, consider having some working journalists as guests, to help us understand the changing journalism landscape better. Anyway, great job. Wish it were an hour!
I love the expert level snark!

This is the best. The expertise and insider snark from this group is entertaining and educational. I don’t miss this podcast and if you are a media or politics junkie you shouldn’t either. Shout out to Rosemary!
Good but not great

I’ve been listening for many years. I stick with it because of the spot-on analysis by the panelists. But the podcast has its flaws. Technically, the volume of this podcast is much lower than that of every other podcast I listen to. Despite having it all the way up on my iPhone, the audio can’t be heard over the din in the fitness center where I exercise. Regarding content, I find Alan Chartock to be condescending at times. Plus, he tells the same tired stories over and over. But again, I really enjoy the perspectives of Rex, Judy, Ira and Caitlin (and Alan’s, too).
