    Disappointing
    So disappointed in todays show about the targeted attack on World Central Kitchen. Seldom heard such nonsense as the Ha-Aretz journalist saying: oh no, IDF didn’t kill them on purpose - why would they, they will just have to feed the Palestinians themselves now. OBVIOUSLY keeping Palestinian civilians safe and fed has not been a concern of the Israeli government at all - in fact they have been starving them purposefully! And this complete hair brain statement was left standing without a response. Then followed by a call from a rabid rabbi, insisting that all other countries would and are doing much worse than Israel. Again, no meaningful response to that insane take. Deleting the Brian Lehrer show from my subscriptions.

    Outstanding
    Now that I’ve discovered the Brian Lehrer Show, I wouldn’t dream of missing an episode—he’s a sane, questioning, honest voice in a not always sane or questioning or honest world.
  • worthyette

    best show ever
    Nikole Hannah-Jones! Oh my ears and whiskers, I’m full to the brim with wonder and respect. She gave me too much to think about — will have to listen several more times. Thank you so much for having her on. And everyone should buy the book and get the audio too!

  • Zorelus
    Amazing
    The podcast is amazingly informative, contemporary to everything happening and most importantly unbiased. You will get the facts from everyday people opinions, and experts on particular subjects. Love the show.
  • PASJL
    one of my go to podcasts!
    I wish they allowed 4.5 Brian consistently has great guests and elicits compelling discussions. Audience participation frequently a plus. Smart informed and presenting multiple points of view

    Awful
    Monotone and super boring.
  • Slevinkevin
    Horrible
    I been listening for a few weeks and I didn’t not mine hearing all the opinion of impeachment but the episode on 1/28/2020 was just straight Democratic talking points with no common sense from the guest host. Sad

    Finally had to turn this off. It bothers me that you’re treating this is a horse race who - so strategy and lynching. And there’s no talk about any kind of values are with their doing or why or whether it’s right. This is not a game you know.

    Decent show sans “cohost”
    Never heard of a “cohost” mentioned, but today’s episode was run by just that. Counter to the usual thoughtful commentary based on facts and listener discussion, this pile was reading tea leaves, speculation, and counter-intuitive conclusions drawn all over the place. Way too many politics podcasts out there to have to accept the surprise-mediocre ones. Ditch the cohost and maybe you’ll deserve a shot later. Unlikely.

    today, thank you.
    Todays program with Eliana Johnson was a cool drink of water in an overheated landscape. Although I consider my self a progressive, I was also brought up Catholic. It soothed my soul to hear a conservative who can speak so intelligently, not glossing over inconvenient veniality. Invite her back, please!

    Factual, Fair and Balanced
    I enjoyed the point on Monday’s show about facts not resonating with FNC viewers. Any 24hr cable news network has bias and are only profiteering. Public radio is the way to go. This is concise and NPR-worthy. Great job!

    Lies
    All lies Tell the actual truth Total junk

    Right off the bat the insane republican argument that democrats are trying to impeach trump Bc they don’t like his politics. Maybe the number of investigations are that high because this man is a con artist who has committed a number of offenses that are impeachable. Makes me sick and I had to stop listening.

  • phaserbreakfast
    Hat tip to “On The Media” for the heads up on this great show.
    Great info with responsible guests who aren’t here to blow smoke up anyone’s arse.
  • Mr. Papworth
    good analysis
    Very approachable, and brings out important points .
  • jezwhatever
    Almost great
    The very best thing about podcasts vs WNYC is that I don’t have to sit through phone calls w average New Yorkers who cannot get to a point. I really enjoy the parts of this podcast that are NOT the Brian Lehrer show. (no shade to BL)
  • My1account
    Very Informative
    Love this podcast so far. Very informative!
  • FanofLireal
    Air time for Nazis?
    This podcast is valuable- however giving airtime to seld-avowed nationalists is unconscionable by either this podcast or more shockingly Meet the Press. Unbelievable
  • CharlesVashon

  • Carebear5101

  • Kcmyway
    Smart and funny ( as expected)
    A lot of info , smart, told in an entertaining way
  • Forcebubble
    Disappointed
    I was looking for a podcast that would tell me what is happening but first thing I hear is “trump is flailing” and other left leaning views rather then middle. Also the guy sounds like dr Phil but stupid.
  • Bluetsunami99
    Look elsewhere for a balanced presentation.
    Just like how the the democrats have made the impeachment inquiry a one sided secretive affair so has this podcast. If you are moderate or an independent looking for balanced information this is not the podcast for you. Seems just like a rehash of the far left democratic side. Very similar to the farce that taking place in DC with their secret Democrat only hearings where they only leak what benefits the Democrat’s side.

    Local, Local, Local
    I’m loving the local perspective on this national “situation”. And Brian Lehrer (!).
  • handsomehusband:)
    Great podcast
    Great catch up for if you missed the Brian Lehrer show in the morning & want to hear what they said about the impeachment inquiry
  • silly Ellen
