PLEASE stop reporting on sports
This podcast is aware and informative and timely on all issues... except sports. Know your limits. They’re just SO BAD. Even when you try to cite stats, you’ve misinterpreted them. I still remember the episode in 2019 where you said the Nationals, the team in your city, beat the Dodgers to go to the World Series. This is false. Was no one fact checking this? They played FOUR GAMES after beating the Dodgers. This is not your strength.

A review I felt compelled to write after the cicada episode…
The 5/28/21 episode on cicadas was so lovely, unexpected, and touching that it left me with a smile on my face and a warm feeling in my heart.
The team behind Post Reports consistently does such a great job examining the news through unique and interesting stories. I look forward to each one.

I love it!
This podcast is very dynamic, a different subject every day spanning news, first-hand experiences, testimonies, anecdotes, stories. There are so many different guests, so much variety, I highly recommend it: sometimes is funny, sometimes is sad, concerning, astonishing. It’s a whole experience. PD. I loved the cicadas episode.

Sunday binge listening
So it’s been busy and I need to catch up. Start listening after breakfast and it crosses my mind that I don’t know what mixing means - so you know where this is going. Thank you to the listener who asked the question but thank Martine and all the team for enlightening him and me.

Topical and Diverse
Post Reports is one of two podcasts that bookend my days. Drawing on the reporting of The Washington Post, the episodes thoughtfully cover the important issues of the day. Even more, I’ve come to appreciate the diversity of topics the episodes offer, voices and perspectives I wouldn’t normally hear. Kudos to Martine and the producers for their editorial judgment. During a time when Americans are finding it difficult to listen to unfamiliar views, Post Reports is opening us to new perspectives.

Martine Power’s voice is everything
She is perfect as the host! Look forward to it everyday. Love the theme music, it’s not depressing! I think their reporting is fair.

Enlightening report on producing
I really appreciate your explanation of what podcast producers do! I had no idea so much goes into putting together each episode. It was a real eye-opener! Kudos to all of you who produce this podcast! Well done!

Wow!
I discovered podcasts a few days ago and it is changing my life. I study history, mostly very ancient but occasionally recent and books are almost limitless on American affairs. Then came the digital version of the New York Times and I knew I had everything.
Not really. Not even close! Podcasts are amazing. A digital radio? XM radio cost money so I stopped it after months. Now this. I have respect for the Post and this episode is mind blowing. I have only heard half of this and I have to stop myself from rushing to the library. Okay this is becoming an essay so I will stop but I have subscribed so I am good.

Martine Powers is the perfect news host
I had started listening to the New York Times “The Daily” before I found “The Post Reports.” The Post Reports is the better version of the two - Martine is a really insightful, probing and very humane host. She’s smart and relatable and never too knowing. She’s the perfect stand-in for the audience, drawing the bigger context around the stories.

Great podcast! Highly recommend
Martine Powers is the BEST! ok with that out of the way now for my question. I want to know what if the Biden administration has done regarding Nuclear energy and infrastructure? Positive, negative or neutral?

Drops late
Your show is categorized by Apple as Semiweekly, vice Daily. As a result, the iOS 14.5 Podcasts app updates it hours after you publish it.

Slice of life
I love this podcast because it’s very helpful at giving me info on what’s going on out in the world when I very often feel like I’ve been under a rock. However... the voice of the guy that does the Facebook ads fills me with so much rage. It’s so out of place with the rest of the podcast and is also a really disappointing reminder of Facebook sticking its nose into everything. His voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me, except multiply that by 1,000 and you’ll be in the ballpark. There was a brief period where that ad was replaced and I cannot describe the feeling of immense relief that washed over me when I thought I’d never have to hear it again. It really makes me skip the podcast sometimes.

Excellent
Excellent balado! Pertinent, actuel, intéressant.
Et j'adore la musique d'ouverture ou l'on entend parler les différents correxpondants.
Merci et continuez le bon travail.

Marteen Powers!
Appreciate a well informed host who is always crisp and precise with her questions and analysis. It takes a lot of effort to absorb the information and translate the wonkier stuff for public consumption. Well done Marteen!... oh, and did I mention the voice? Her voice is lush, just deep enough and soothing in the tradition of all great reporters worth listening to and not just reading. Thanks! I see you working Post, I see you working!

Podcast Direction
I love the podcast. However, a recent change in sponsorship...of all things, has angered me. I understand you are a for-profit company but there’s a reason Huawei sales have been banned in most non-communist countries including the UK, America, and Canada. Perhaps this can be a podcast discussion in the future, justifying your financial decision. As a retired defense industry employee I know the reasons for ban are valid.

Great source for in-depth reporting
I appreciate the breadth of the topics covered, especially many that others ignore (e.g. childcare as work). I think Martine Powers is a fantastic host and great intervewer. I’m glad she’s back! Thanks for the good work.

Great podcast.
Similar to The Daily from the NYT, Post Reports focuses on one or two subjects and discusses them in depth. Sometimes it’s the ‘big story’ of the day, other days it’s something less discussed but equally important. Martine Powers’ voice is amazing. I wish it was in my Alexa. She does a great job hosting the show.
Unfortunately, as long as Hawaii is sponsoring Post Reports, I will not listen to it.

Wow
After having my heart broken when host James Hohmannn left the WashPo podcast The Daily 202, and the subsequent end of the podcast show altogether, it was advised to check this show out as a replacement. Wow, first episode was a gut punch, the story of Mazen al-Hamada and his mysterious return to Syria. Excellent journalism and a riveting story. I have hit subscribe and look forward to more stories like these in my daily news cycle. Thank you for your work!

Great podcast
The episode on Mazen al-Hamada is a powerful distillation of the trauma of the Syrian conflict ten years on. I only write to suggest that you provide translation of foreign language audio clips.
