Rate ShowIn depth reviews of usually 2-3 Reports
I love Post Reports because of the interesting subject matter, and usually has 2-3 in depth, but short, reporting of what’s going on around the world as well as in the US. Great way to start my day. Thank you, Lori Hartz

An Aussie review
As an Aussie I support good journalism. Therefore I choose to listen to this podcast every morning and subscribe to the Washington Post.

Surprisingly entertaining!
I decided to listen to the podcast because I used to read paper years ago. Every single episode has been refreshingly surprising to my ears!! Thanks!

My favorite time of the day
Listening Post Reports at the end of the day is one of my favorite pastimes. Thoughtful stories and to make you ponder and learn. As a fellow Trinidadian I am proud of the job host Martine Power's does in asking the questions that often produce insightful answers. It is a must listen and should be a part of anyone’s day.

Morning go-to
Ever since I found myself working from home in mid-March, this podcast has been my morning go-to. Post Reports is excellent, and its in-depth reporting in unbeatable. Thank you Martine and team! Love it!

One of the best new podcasts globally
It may be me, but too many of the news podcasts are either quite shouty, with guests talking over each other, or just an audio of a news programme. There are now three news casts that are my daily listening and this is among them. The production is clear, the WashPost cycles through 3-4 main stories each day and deep dives. A bit like the UK Today Programme used to (they don’t bother with a podcast anymore). The stories are balanced, nuanced and goes further than even the paper at times. The quality of the show has been getting better over the months too, with crisper focus, better writing and interesting choices of story. For a morning commute, this is the best for me (other two shows BBC World News and The Daily).

Great when it’s relevant!
Because the WP reporters are great, this podcast can be great when it takes on important topics and often, the ‘one more thing’ topics are surprisingly informative. However, in many cases, the episodes headline with fringe topics that, while they might be an interesting, aren’t very relevant to the day’s news.

Uptalk undermines authority of report
I was intrigued by the topic of how the pandemic is effecting Gen Z. The reporter’s use of uptalk was so distracting that I had a difficult time focusing on her findings. It sounds like she is questioning them. that infection seems to say “don’t hurt me”. Or this information is tentative. She needs to read Deborah Tannen’s analysis of factors that undercut the power of women’s statements in the professional environment. Please claim your power young sis!

Post Reports!!
Great journalism and is well presented. A short and clear podcast of important news that can be easily digested, especially for me as I do my exercise routine or menial tasks like folding laundry. If I miss some, it is still easy to catch up. I look forward to these everyday.

The Daily is Nothing
What is the NYT even?! I am a lifelong New Yorker and 7-year Washington- you can rely on my impartiality. Post reports is HIP

Mental health in these pandemic days
I’d love to hear more from Willian Wan about mental heath during these times. This subject needs much more attention

Indispensable
I began listening to podcasts while our shelter in place trials have made it a challenge to stay informed. I have my favorites which number 8 to date and have even begun a podcast of my own. The reporters, story lines and professionalism here is what keeps me coming back. Listening is now a highlight of my day and I have recommended this podcast to my family as well as work associates. Keep up the quality. Thank You for the ride

I love the format
The Post Report is a really good news podcast, mainly due to its host: Martine Powers does a tremendous job and I prefer her over Michael Barbaro of The Daily. The latter is a really good show as well, but its host has these very bothersome vocal tendencies. The format is really good: 2-3 stories that are discussed at depth, told by the Washington Post reporters, who are very good journalists that excel at their departmental specialities. In my opinion, the Post Report is as good as the Daily, which makes them two of the best news podcasts out there.

I look forward to Martine Powers and the teams take on daily events. Usually very insightful and in-depth despite its brevity.

Best American News Podcast
This is my favorite American news podcast (and I listen to tons of them). Martine is a great host, she’s got a soothing voice, she’s a great interviewer, and she’s not overly biased. I like that they will deep dive into a handful of topics per episode and explain in a way that a layman can understand and I love how they will remind viewers about sources of potential bias. Friendly, professional, and interesting. Love this podcast.

About the mask
I will wear a mask when I’m out. But it should be voluntary freedom of choice. And vaccine should be freedom of choice especially when you cannot sue the pharmaceutical companies that manufacture it if something goes wrong.
I do believe in some vaccines but it should still be freedom of choice
