Rate ShowAudio report (play by play) of Jan 6 was amazing
I’m a former radio recording engineer from CBC in Toronto. The episode fromJanuary 15/21 on the January 6th Capitol siege was some of the best radio reporting I’ve heard. I listen religiously up here in Canada and always count on the Post for the best reporting. This one was especially brilliant

Four hours of resurrection
This episode gave me chills. I felt like I was at the Capital. I wish this was mandatory listening to All Americans.

Great programme!
I have been a long time listener and always enjoy and appreciate your in-depth discussions about the current affairs. So I am a little surprised to find out that the programme is now sponsored by Huawei Technology. Will this impede on any of your stories that cast China in a poor light? Chinese sponsors are notorious in pulling the plugs on anything that deviate from their own scripts.

Excellent show
This a great summary download on the events of most days.
I have a quibble with a minor flaw in the January 8, 2021 episode that you should check perhaps. In this episode Martine stated that Trump will have been the second president not to have attended his successor’s inauguration, citing Andrew Johnson as the only other spoilsport. However I believe that John Adams also left Washington without attending his successor’s installation. The rage he experienced about Jefferson, his successor, exemplified the discordance between Virginia and Massachusetts and poisoned their relationship until they reconciled many years later.

Thorough and up to date
Recently discovered this podcast and like it. It's up to date and it offers good journalistic background details on the topics covered. For me a nice addition to the NYT "The Daily" and the NPR Politics podcasts. The episodes about the Congress siege and its consequences were very good. Thanks for the good work!

Consistently reliable and fair
The reporters who contribute, give the facts, share the details and explain the situation. Whether it is a phone call the President should not have made or the election that could decide the Senate, I know Martine will ask questions and get fair and reliable answers. Thank you.

Break for new year
How are we supposed to live without post reports for a few days?🙀 Happy new year Martine and colleagues at WP

I love this podcast
Great work!!! I listen to it in the background while I’m working. I’m glad there is trustworthy journalism out there still.

Love this podcast
I listen to this podcast everyday. Though I’m Canadian, living in Canada, a lot of the issues are relatable. I love the diversity of topics and the way they are presented in a brief, digestible format. I listen to post reports nearly every night when I’m making dinner, and I always look forward to it.

Great format, great production, great topics
Always enjoy your show. The format makes it easy to listen in segments throughout the day. Love the ‘and one more thing’ especially on days when the news is particularly stressful.

Hard left political spin. Mostly uncritical towards MSMs worst inclinations (censorship, intersectionality, authoritarianism)
But occasionally it's good

One of my all time faves
This has become a daily staple for me... to the point, in fact, that whenever I hear a dial tone, my brain loops the opening music. I love Martine’s voice and her line of questioning. The stories are well-researched and relevant. Thanks for the quality work.

Unbelievably good in general.
Please. Grammar and syntax matter. This is a podcast. If your reporters and interviewers do not have a clear handle on the English language (Nia Decaille) you can edit it out so that we don’t have to hear it. Amherst? What happened to English 101?

Insightful
Thank you for the diligent and thorough journalism. I really liked the series that was run before Thanksgiving! My reality was reflected in all three episodes! Keep up the great work!

Fab daily podcast
Discovered this podcast last year, and it’s a must-listen. I have it on my daily feed...if nothing else, I’ll listen to Post Reports. I like how it always has several stories everyday so you’re not exhausted from the deluge of news from al outlets, and Martine and her guests always have interesting takes or perspectives even on stories that literally everyone else is covering as well, so it never gets old. Martine also has a really calming voice even when the news cycle is so chaotic. Highly recommend!

Excellent reporting
Just found this, it popped up on a email. Listening to the latest episode I thought it was really well done and instead of listening to classic rock tunes in the morning with coffee I will now start with Post Report. Thank you

My Favorite Part of the Day!
This is my favorite podcast. It is curious, informative, and digs just a little deeper than standard news stories. Martine Powers is a great host, and oddly feels like a distant friend during this time of Covid and quarantine. I enjoy the usual format of one big story, one medium story, and one “one more thing” story. My only complaint is I wish they also did podcasts on Saturday and Sunday.

Winning GOP candidates who discredit election undermine their own legitimacy
I love your show. Just listed to the 11/10 episode about tweets undermining Biden’s win. But for those down ballot republicans who won in states that Biden carried should be careful. If those ballots are “illegal” won’t they also shuffle some of the down ballot results? In other words, if all the Biden votes are “fraudulent,” why did GOP do so well down ballot? Did dems submit fake ballots that were split? Doesn’t make sense. They should be careful what they wish for. Get Susan Collins, Tom Emmer, or Jim Hagedorn to explain that. Please report on this angle.

Brief, informative, interesting
My favorite way to get my daily news. And not just because of Martine Powers’ voice (but also yes). I like how many different voices I get to hear from and the reports are easy to follow.

Favorite podcast
Interesting topics throughly explored. Martine comes across as sincerely curious. Like the intro music too.

Great show!
I love this podcast, the reporting and perspectives are excellent! I just listened to “I hired you because you’re black” super episode and very relevant and important to be sharing these types of experiences! Thank you!
