PBS News Hour - Segments

The volume is off along side other podcasts. Release them from first to last so we don’t have to adjust this one podcast to get segments in order.

Re-upping my semi-annual complaint. This podcast has been my go to source for news for years - great content - but the drastic uptick in ads over the last few weeks is making me question my listenership. I wouldn’t mind an ad or two per day, but they seem to be on every story now, even the 2-minute ones!

Seemingly once a year I have to come in here and edit my review and rating to get y’all to stop putting ads into every single segment… do you realize how inappropriate it is to have ads before AND after incredibly sensitive stories? This is just ridiculous. Before. And after. Every. Single. Segment. Come on…

2000, Gore v. Bush in FL chad ballot recount; 2016, Ms. Clinton claimed she did not lose and to join “the resistance” to oust Mr. Trump; 2020, Mr. Trump claimed ballot harvesting in swing states. Court mandated recounts (rather than marching on the Capitol), post-election investigation for fraud/irregular procedures, party pressure on electoral college to vote other than as required should be the normal for transparency, uncover any fraud/irregularities, and lessons learned to make future elections transparent. After that, jurimandering and campaign financing reform/political action committees are part of the election rot to work on.
