As I consumer of mostly independent media, I was suspicious that the Post would report only US sanctioned news. I listened out of curiosity at some point and was impressed with the depth and completeness of their coverage. I don’t listen to all episodes, but often learn complexities from those I do listen to.

Just listened to the 8/6 report which, as always, was fantastic! Loved hearing the guest reporters weighing in on highlights and issues. Also enjoyed the part about the sounds of the Olympics. Thanks to you all!

This stories are always interesting and in the moment. So, there is much to be learned from the podcast. However, I think the podcast, like so much of the mainstream media, is attempting to equalize the Trump campaign with whatever is happening on the Democratic side of the equation. there is no comparison. One good one is evil. Just say it because you know it’s true.

It’s getting like, hard to like, listen to like, professional, like journalism, like…..I love the reporting but I can’t keep listening to like, you know, like, idk, like….

Despite the years long “investigations” the only thing proven by the GOP is that Joe Biden may well be one of the most honest Presidents in American history. Martine did a nice job of reminding us that Hunter Biden, who is not a political figure, is nonetheless paying the price for being the son of President Biden.

Rather than just sticking to the facts of the case, Martine and the reporter presented a very empathetic view of Hunter Biden. Ironically, we enable the addict if we show leeway for unacceptable even illegal behavior. In his case, adultery, wild spending, lack of child support, denying he fathered another child - the list goes on… Addiction deprives society of so many talented people. Jill and Joe Biden could have given so much to the county by being role models for loving but not coddling their son. There’s still time to do that.

I haven’t been able to locate $1 for four weeks for a year. Love the podcast and would subscribe at that rate.$40.00 per year is probably still a deal but not what I’m hearing offered.

Good content and great presentation. Listen-able voices are as important as the news itself.

Every weekday I listen to this show for accurate and topical information. Thanks, Post Reports’ team!

Love your show. Regarding Biden’s challenge with inflation, it comes down to household economics. Biden comes off as tone deaf to economic challenges facing middle income voters. Abstract ideas like unemployment rate and GDP mean nothing to most of us when faced with exorbitant housing costs and grocery expenses twice to what we knew pre-covid. I’m a physician making $260 a year, and even I feel it. While Trump doesn’t personally know what it’s like for the middle class, he has a lighter load as the guy they remember for better times. For some reason people now see everything that happened during the covid years as a mulligan. Trump faces little accountability for his blunders, and Biden receives none of the praise for turning things around. Likewise, Trump is a professional showman who will always win out against Biden when it comes to making people feel heard. Please discuss further on the show if any of this resonates with you. Also, if anyone in Biden camp is listening, encourage him to trade his suit for overalls and airforce for a cross country bus. He needs to rub more elbows at the grocery store and spend less time talking stats with Janet Yellen. Of course, maybe that’s too much to ask of an octogenarian with another full time job, but that’s what I think. Ted from San Antonio

Like this website, sometimes the conversations can be a little bit from one perspective, especially when they interview one expert. Specifically on the AI Google podcast, I thought Mr Bavinck presented a very AI-centric, very google–centric point of view. There are many options besides Google. I’ve been using DuckDuckGo as my search engine for about a decade, and about 98% of the time I can find what I need to find, and DDG does not keep all my information.

Ruby Kramer did a fantastic job of painting the picture and telling the story. Excellent journalism.

The content is good but the music is loud and silly and literally sounds like it’s for a cartoon or Pink Panther or something. Very distracting.

thank you for the great reporting on the crises in Haiti and Gaza/ the mideast. And a big (belated) welcome back to Martine!

especially with our too soon warm weather especially forg Cleveland, OH!

Interesting, relevant and balanced

The host and guests' conversation is engaging and helpful. It offers a healthy balance between realism, essential pragmatic advice interspersed with witty comments and personal reflections to keep the conversation grounded and not intimidating. I'm not yet in the category they speak of but it's definitely worth listening to this podcast.

I like the podcast, but I never know when I’m going to get the ad-free version. I’m a subscriber, so ad-free is a nice bonus. I wish it was consistent.

Post Reports is a fantastic podcast for news stories that helps you understand what is going on in the world. The episodes are never too long, yet edited with a lot of clarity and significant reporting to help you be informed. I’ve laugh, cried and pondered through the years of listening to this and it’s truly something I value. The hosts are fantastic and their personalities make me feel like I’m listening to a friend. Thank you for making this great podcast, Washington Post!

Well produced and succinct. Keep up the great work !

Such wide-ranging topics. Always worth a listen.

Martin - I’ve noted that you mentioned how they (Jews) be charged for genocide? - Martin hope you understand the history of occupation? Palestine has been occupied by Jews Zionist settlers how come you totally ignored the fact that Palestinians people are living under occupation? Please stop the bias against Palestinians. This conflict has exposed the truth of Apartheid Israel oppression and violence against Palestinians!

This really gave me an understanding of what processed vs ultra processed foods are and what to look for in easy to understand language. I am older and don’t feel like cooking but due to RA I need to find easy to make Whole Foods. Thanks a million! Carol from NH

Over the last few years I have intentionally avoided the news, plainly because of the amount of negative (fun fact there is an episode on this topic on the show, go listen!). Someone recently shared this podcast with me though, and I have found wanting to engage back into knowing more about the world—not just my immediate surroundings. I particularly like cohost Elahe Izadi’s questioning. Always seems to ask what I would want to know next if I was just learning this information.
