Reviews
Rate ShowShort, deep dives
I rely on "Today Explained" and "The Daily" to get a very deep dive into one topic. But, Post Reports gives me a broad view of news in the world (here and abroad) and, usually the first of the three segments especially, I get more than the snippets of a topic that I'd here on a newscast. Love the variety of voices included in the reporting - to hear the voices of reporters I've read in WaPo always makes me smile!

Keep up
I’m a subscriber. Why is it that the NYT can reliably produce its podcast five days a week in the morning and you can’t? It’s Friday late morning West Coast time and you still haven’t posted Friday? After the debate?
Taking Friday off for some reason? Try harder.

One Interesting Story After Another
Each morning I listen to post reports while getting dressed. I hear one interesting story after another. I enjoy the variety of content and the upbeat way it is presented.

One of my favorite podcasts
When I listen to Post Reports, it’s almost as if Martine Powers and I are sitting in comfy chairs in a brightly lit sunroom, sharing a lovely pot of tea while we discuss the news of the day. It’s just wonderful.
Except for that blasted ringing triangle.
But hey, nothing’s perfect.

Awesome podcast with a great host
One of the best [American] daily podcasts! Great host, engaging guests, and important topics. I like that it covers 2-3 issues in-depth but doesn't go on too long. Highly recommended.

Like thoughtful!
I’m like really enjoying this podcast like so much. The (seemingly young) reporters offer like thoughtful and thorough pieces. But like, can young people like get over like inserting the word like in between like every other word? Like seriously!

Great podcast
This podcast is a great snippet of news. I love the main story and then the few side stories that I would have never heard about during the day.

Always interesting
There has yet to be an episode that did not teach me something new or introduce me to a new perspective. And I’m pretty news savvy! Martine is a great host with a perfect voice for the show. Even the music is on point. I appreciate you, Martine & company! ❤️

My favorite podcast
I listen to a lot of different podcasts and productions, but Post Reports is by far my favorite. I appreciate it so much for keeping me up to speed on current events, the state of our politics, and what’s happening around the world. I just wish it was longer! I could listen all day.

Brilliant reporting
I love this podcast. Martine is an excellent host, and this show does an amazing job of featuring a handful of important stories every day that is both informative and digestible. Great interviews and segments all around. + thank you for covering important national and international news that is not always covering Trump!!! Truly great journalism.

Stephen Miller
Excellent report. The just “following orders” Miller sounded as if he was giving the orders. Quite revealing

Extremely informative
I look forward to each new episode. I appreciate the wide ranging topics that are presented each day. I enjoy listening to Martine, I feel like I’ve learned something new at the end of each podcast

Best episode yet
Your podcast of Weds August 21st moved me to finally write a review. Weds was the perfect mix - trump’s flip flop position on gun control, voting, education and the Taliban (the 10 year old moved me when she defiantly said that the taliban was jealous of education) and the beautiful story of the same sex penguins desperately trying to hatch an egg. I am a huge fan of your podcast and look forward to listening each day during my evening commute. Thank you so much for a fantastic show.

And now one more thing....
I initially subscribed knowing I would get an excellent and thorough insight into a top news story of the day. You did not disappoint! The more I listen though I have really started to value the “and now one more thing” segment. After listening to the more heavy news part of the podcast I like the stories that are more light hearted, thought provoking or just introduce me to people or things that are little known. Keep up the hood work!

Purely Wonderful
Concise & informative, heart warming and heart breaking. A wonderful daily experience. Thank you for your thoughtful approach.
And tell Travis DeShong he definitely should go for narrating audiobooks.
p.s. Thanks, Martine, for the shout-out.

Words matter. Thanks for the work you do.
Really love this podcast and look forward to listening to it everyday. Can you please put music credits in your podcast notes? I frequently hear music I really like and have no way to track it down. Thanks.
Also, PLEASE, PLEASE stop using manifesto related to coverage of these ongoing horrors of mass killings in our society. During this last spate of shootings some wise person (can’t recall now who) in coverage immediately following pointed out that the word MANIFESTO elevates these shooters to undeserved status. I agree.
The word manifesto is more appropriately used with a person of note, status etc. particularly a political or other organization’s aims. Unfortunately, I keep hearing that word over and over during ongoing news coverage and it can only elevate them undeservedly. Along with eliminating the shooter(s)’ name(s), use of words like diatribe, message, note, or screed would lower the shooter’s words rather than elevate them. Anything large or small we can do to disincline use of their words going forward can only help. These are not people to elevate in any way. Words really do matter.
