  • War and Peace?

    Can’t ever remember hearing an episode talking about peace. Solely based on war, death, and corruption politics. In depth but also overwhelming. What we need here is a truly action focused news. Not news that leaves me feeling hopeless and angry but news that also directs people in ways to take peaceful action against those who are polluting our world with destruction.

  • Journalism👍intro-music👎

    Perhaps the best daily news roundup podcast available. Thorough, expansive, and ethically-responsible while remarkable accessible. An excellent alternative to Up First or The Daily. …that all aside, seriously, change the opening music. It feels so incredibly tone-deaf to be listing the latest slew of war-crimes and assaults to democracy over a backdrop of a jazzy upbeat ska-funk band.
