I’m very impressed with the quality of the stories this show pulls together each day. I always look forward to hearing their new stories

I love outside in so it makes me happy when you guys have Nate or someone on. Even heard him on morning edition the other day! Love npr

I have enjoyed The Indicator for awhile now. I always thought the reporting was smart and interesting and that the team had their finger on the pulse of what is of interest to a wide variety of people. The February 4th show reporting on the Trump tariff “battles” was a disappointment. The discussion of the tariff negotiations was …incomplete (inaccurate?). While “concessions” were made by other countries, multiple other sources have clarified that overall concessions were minimal, if any, and the net “win” on tariff negotiations does not squarely sit with the U.S. (e.g. Reference “Letters from an American” Feb 3rd, Heather Cox Richardson). I think at such a time as this, when our country is at such a crossroads and there is likely an impending season of struggle and discontent for many, it is important that news be accurate, impartial and uninfluenced by outside sources. I can understand it is easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of reporting by various media outlets but what we need is real news. Not repetition of spin, or superficial reporting but REAL NEWS.

I usually love your program. But the January 29 episode on federal government hiring signaled to me that you’re drinking the kool- aid. To treat about trump‘s “plan” to reform federal workforce like it’s a legitimate plan is egregious. He has no interest in merit-based hiring. Have you seen his nominees?? A drunken Fox News weekend host with zero military experience for DoD and an anti-science, conspiracy theorist lunatic for HHS? Thats just to start! Where is the merit? I am disappointed that you so badly you missed the obvious. His mission is to destroy agencies from within, he abhors expertise and merit. His proposals do not deserve to be treated as legitimate plans to improve our country so don’t talk to us like we’re idiots. Please don’t fold for this guy.

Lots of good ads and even some bits about the economy snuck in Information usually pretty good, just hard to listen to with the quantity of ads

I just started listening to The Indicator from Planet Money, and I really enjoy it! The hosts are great at making economics engaging and easy to follow. It’s informative and always interesting. Highly recommend it!

I really enjoy the short snippets and various topics. Over the last few years it has been “leaning” more to the left/DNC/Democrat party. I would love it to be more neutral/informal, not political in either direction. Economics is a great way to look at the world, events, and situations - it doesn’t need to be political. I hope it moves more to the center and keeps on helping folks stay “in the know”.

Why must every NPR based show lean so heavily left? Never any criticism or strong looks at liberal policies and thought. It's so blatant. I say this as someone with a degree from the best Jschool in the country and 25 years in the field.

You need to have the one guy use a normal voice before I will ever listen to another episode - come on seriously.

Giving a straight faced non-refutation of trumps housing policy (deporting thousands probably won’t lower mortgage rates) should make you all ashamed
