Customer Reviews
NPR's best programming!
Amazing show! Carl Kasell and Peter Sagal are a humorous team that take the week's news point out the irony, discontinuity, or radicalness. The panel adds comedy to the mix, and together, they are the best way to enjoy the week's events. In my opinion, the Paula Poundstone episodes are the best.
Great job guest hosting Karen Chee!!
I spent more than two minutes on this podcast app finding the review section to say what a wonderful job she did!! 🙌
Karen Chee Guest Host
She is witty. Her voice is WAY too high. She gets higher n pitch as she gets excited. Someone should moderate her. She is pleasant. Her pitch is too high
