This will get you through the next 2 weeks
The NPR politics podcast is a fantastic listen. It reminds me of a friend group hanging out, discussing the election, but with all the stats and facts readily available. The podcast has gotten me through 2016 and given me calm and peace of mind about this election. When everything seems dark, the gang manages to make it all better. If you don't listen to it - start now! Daily episodes right now (airing evening US eastern time). Thank you guys for this great podcast!

Still slanted to the left
Wish it was truly reporting and opinions left out. I can see the agenda on the left. NPR please either balance this or remove the nuisances of the opinions.

Sad to say it’s biased
I enjoy listening to many of the hosts, so I’m sorry to have to write this review. I find this show quite slanted in its coverage and it’s only gotten worse over the past year or so. I’m neither conservative nor a Republican and I didn’t vote for Trump, but the left-wing slant is still too cringey for me to handle anymore. Maybe it’s just that the hosts and producers are drawn from left-wing circles and they don’t realize that they’re one-sided.

Still a beacon of reason and truth
No podcast is perfect, nor is it likely that anyone will agree with a podcast all the time. NPR In general and their NPR Politics podcast in particular provide balance, variety and depth in ways that are engaging and informative. If you’re tired of spin and want real news from good people, try improving your media diet and life with NPR Politics!

Inquiring about Carrie Johnson’s accent
I’ve been listening to the podcast for years and appreciate the nuanced reporting! I’ve noticed that Carrie Johnson has had a more pronounced midwestern accent since the beginning of the pandemic. I wonder if Carrie is spending time in the Midwest due to COVID, potentially awakening a dormant accent??? I can’t let it go!! Listening from Michigan 🧤

Best Politics Digest Out There
Been listening to this podcast since it launched during the 2016 presidential campaign. This is some of the best condensed political podcasting out there. I don’t have time to listen to hours of analysis, but the NPR Politics podcast hits the major stories quickly, concisely, and with a fair amount of good humor. Folks who think this is a biased podcast have fallen for the myth of mainstream media bias.

Great show to stay informed
Jesus Christ, some of the reviews here are utterly insufferable. Hey, to those who think it is biased: These people cannot turn their brains off to cover these topics. If the guy’s an idiot, they’ll call it fairly. Heard Mara Liasson last week say Harris was an underdog to Pence in VP debate. Was floored by that perspective. BTW, to those moaning: There’s not two sides. There’s at least 28. Trump’s a mess and these folks have to report the facts.

5-Star Reporting
This podcast has been a regular staple of mine for quite some time now, in addition to Up First. The commentary and reporting on this podcast is is phenomenal, and the hosts do a wonderful job of breaking down the most current topics in politics in a way that is easy for any listener to grasp. There’s seriousness on the day-to-day topics, but also a bit of laughter — most of which comes from one of my favorite parts of the show, which is a weekly bit called “Can’t Let it Go.” Overall, a top-notch podcast that any political junky should have in their news rotation.

NPR Podcast Drinking Game
Take a shot every time somebody says "writ large" or answers a question starting by saying "so" or "look" (double shot if they say "so look").

Getting more biased as election gets closer
After listening to this podcast for a year, I had to unsubscribe as the bias and dishonesty has gotten to be blatantly obviously in the recent months. Many people may just dismiss me as a Trump supporter which I’m not. I simply expect an objective news organization to tell me the truth and try to be fair. When addressing a significant increase in homicides in 2020 in this podcast, they literally conclude that its “okay” since overall violence is down. Today (10/8/20) was the last straw after Mara repeated the most recent lie against Trump that he was “reluctant to condemn white supremacy in the first debate with Joe Biden”. Any person who watches the clip can clearly hear the president respond “sure” with no hesitation when asked if he would tell white supremacy groups to “stand down.” Trump said give me a name and Biden throws out Proud Boys and Trump immediately says “stand back and stand by”, which when taken in context of the whole exchange is an obvious attempt to tell them to “stand down” as was specifically asked by the moderator. Regardless of whether you think Trump is racist or not, an objective news organization should not be taking sides let alone pushing a questionable accusation as fact.

Great for getting caught up; hosts make the pod fun!
It is easy to fall behind in today’s news cycle, but the NPR Politics pod keeps me informed and up to date. Daily Podcasts. But the news isn’t everything. The hosts put things into perspective while entertain the audience along the way. Every podcast starts with a brief timestamp where listeners from around the world send in a recording. Also, listening on Fridays is a must for their comprehensive weekly roundup, which also features the segment “Can’t Let it Go,” where the hosts discuss the things “they can’t stop thinking about, politics or otherwise.”The hosts are like those teachers who make learning fun. They do a great job educating you, in a comprehensive way but still have great banter. Brief but thorough. Five stars for sure.

Biased
I would like a little more even coverage. It just seems like a trump hate fest and the info can be days old. I thought I could come here to unbiased info on both sides. Unfortunately I was wrong.
