Unbiased and Incredibly Informative
I listen to many podcasts but this is the only one I’ve been moved to review. It’s so refreshing to get the news in a way that is simply reporting the facts without all the hot takes or salacious punditry. Even when they share opinions from other news sources, it’s always balanced by alternative view points and everything is cited.
If you can, please consider donating to CSPAN, so that they can continue their important work.
Great podcast!
Great & informative podcast
