Our take on On the Media podcast

On the Media is a Peabody Award-winning podcast that explores how the media shapes our perceptions of the world. Host Brooke Gladstone critically examines media coverage of significant events and uncovers hidden political narratives and threats to free speech and transparency. The show's episodes are released on Wednesdays (around 20 minutes) and Fridays (about 50 minutes), offering reporting that is short enough to digest. On The Media's journalism is self-aware, alive, and always informative, making it the right place to better understand our flawed media environment. On the Media is a news commentary podcast by WNYC Studios.
