  • Great way to get local news!

    I value staying informed about local news but am not often near a radio during the day. This podcast is a great way to keep up with what’s happening around the Bay Area and state! Now I wonder how I ever made it through the day without The California Report! :)

  • Really appreciate this!

    Great way to get news from KQED without having to listen to the ubiquitous clips of Trump misinformation/disinformation played on NPR News.

    I trust the reporting and appreciate the relevance.

  • Poorly designed

    They offer exactly one podcast at a time which might contain multiple broadcasts or not. This means you can miss things AND you will have to listen to the same story multiple times. A much better format would be to place each broadcast or even each story in its on podcast in the feed. Then I will hear all the stories no matter when they were broadcast and won’t have to listen to the same story multiple times

  • Nice mix of interesting

    They discuss all kinds of interesting topics. For example, I just listened to a discussion about Formula E cars which are the future of race cars - using electric engines.
