Great reporting and love how detailed the investigations are. You guys are doing a great job!

I love the Post Reports podcast. Out of all the (many) news podcasts I listen to, this one is by far my favourite. Professional reporting on interesting topics, but is perfected so well, in my opinion, solely because of the amazing host Martine Powers.

I found this story about big Floyd so powerful, thought of Frederick Douglas,... “so much better to build strong children, then heal broken men” Thought of his aunts runaway slave comment and how the first police forces in the USA were to patrol for runaway slaves. How his struggle was such a human struggle for meaning, purpose and dignity. And how his life was broken, and his brokeness — has been such a powerful healing force for this country. So glad he’s with his mom, And hope his family can find peace. Grateful for the writers of conveyed his humanness and his greatness in his struggle,...

Great pod, but serously; this is a sound and speach medium. What is up with Americans’ speach these days? Almost all guests in this pod need a speach therapist! They are unable to modulate their voice, are so back down in their throat, it’s quite frankly like listening to a chain saw, and equally confortable. Get a grip! This is unprofessional.

Get rid of the Facebook ads!

I love to listen to Martine Powers. She has a great voice and seems like such a kind person. It’s always sad for me on the weekends when i don’t have a Post Reports to listen to.

As it turns out, Trump is the Willy Loman of big business.

Especially if you are living outside the US and you want real journalists to present analysis and news of what is going on in America these days. Klaus living in Copenhagen, Denmark

Post reports tend to be very thought-provoking, in-depth, and a joy to listen to. Lots of topics are covered and I find myself enriched by them every day. They dovetail into and supplement the paper wonderfully. How jarring is it to currently hear Facebook claim in advertisements on the lead-in to each WaPo show that they are committed fact-check, care about truth, etc when their CEO and founder is on the record that he couldn’t care less about those matters? By its very design, Facebooks algorithm hooks users with stories of outrage. That leads to self-radicalization among the susceptible and the formation of anti-social and dangerous affinity groups (anti-vaxxers, white nationalists, etc). So per the ad, a small band of Facebook fact checkers are supposed to keep tabs on the very algorithm that keeps the $$ rolling in? Come on. No amount of “truth” fig leafing / correction after-the-fact can hope to counter the disinformation machine at the top of the food chain at Facebook. Besides, no one reads the corrections, especially not the self-radicalized groups that facebook has nurtured all these years. Facebooks WaPo ads are gaslighting, pure and simple, and should not be allowed. WaPo, please report more on the hundreds of thousands of people killed around the world thanks to Facebook collaborating with local radicals to stir up racial, ethnic, or religious hatred.

This pod has become a part of my daily routine. It’s informative, entertaining, and often moving. Martine Powers’ voice is so soothing, too. I highly recommend you give it a listen. It’s my favorite weekday podcast.

Really easy to listen to, captivating, even for people who don‘t live in the US.

Isn’t it funny how we have to be worried that we are hired because we are black, women or disabled. White men never care that the reason they were hired, or paid more is because they are white men.

Martine’s voice is really helping me through these weird times. Of course, the content is always professional and sometimes out of this world!

The format of this podcast is great. Good mix of updates, coverage, guests, and side stories that sometimes get brushed aside on other outlets. Plus Martine is a great host.

Please keep up the excellent reporting. The world needs more stories like you produce.

I love Martine’s voice. Very calming

I listen to your podcast every night. I am a subscriber of Post. The podcast has reports from experts and gets into more details. Thanks Mkoontakeda

I enjoy the variety of news stories covered in depth.

Never a downer :)

Thank you for featuring Heather E Long’s expert reporting on the economy. Her report in the August 4 show provided a succinct picture of the challenges and potential solutions. Excellence from the Washington Post.

This is a great podcast that helps me keep up on current events. The best episodes are ones that aren’t hosted by Martine. I find her to be not the best interviewer as she interjects too many of her own thoughts like she expects the interviewee to pat her on the back for her knowledge on the topic. If she was a male I would call it ‘mansplaining’. Especially when compared to Michael Barbaro from The Daily, this podcast falls short for that reason.

My favorite podcast!!! Always outstanding.

I was pleasantly surprise when Martine interviewed her parents based in my home country of Grenada and the piece inclusion of an interview with our Prime Minister made the piece very relatable to me. Ever since I have continued to listen to this podcast on a daily basis as your range of topics have spanned the globe and not just the United States and I really cherish the journalistic integrity and research that gone into each topic. Kudos to all the staffers at the Washington Post.

I particularly appreciate the efforts reporters make to interview ordinary people outside the corridors of power. The reporting is thorough, thoughtful, and respectful.r
