The Takeaway

Weekdays, 6am-7am and 9am-10am on 89.7 WGBH

Produced by 89.7 WGBH, WNYC, BBC, Public Radio International, and the New York Times and hosted by John Hockenberry and Celeste Headlee, The Takeaway breaks the mold of public radio news programs — delivering national and international news and cultural stories in a conversational live format. Each weekday morning, The Takeaway anchor desk serves as a "water cooler" where Hockenberry and Headlee convene critical conversations, take live reports from the field, and provide a platform for commentary and analysis from experts and listeners alike.

Really disappointed in Johns current cohost. He has had a variety of knowledgable cohosts in the past.I am unsure why some dont stay. But today I heard the "IsraeliPakistan conflict" twice from Headlee before it was corrected. I thought I would have to search a lot of high schools to find someone who didnt study the Israeli Palestine conflict that now spans forty years. Even volunteer college hosts appear more worldly than Miss Headlee did today. Help ! This use to be a qualtiy program !

While i am happy we have a new NPR station, 89.7, that broadcasts in our area, I think that this show is just terrible. From the format to that annoying bleep sound. It reminds me of the WBZ television news program that now has "Conversation Nation" that has the reporters chitchatting and offering their opinions..just awful! I love Morning Edition, Diane Rehm and nearly all other NPR shows... but i find that when this show comes on I change the channel...
