Not since Scott Galloway and Kara Swisher has a pair of people complemented each other’s strong points and minimized each other’s weak points more perfectly than here. Topics and guests are invariably interesting. You might hear a judge, a naturalist and an economics professor in one show. There may be a Boston slant, but rarely for the whole show. Besides, what’s better than Boston?

I bet Luigi was a big fan of these libtards.

The breadth of conversations and people invited on air is exciting, engaging, and educational. In addition, I learn so much from listeners who call in to share their own experiences related to the topic at hand. In fact, in this most recent election, hearing how the different questions on the ballot would impact those directly affected by the law proposed helped me gain a better understanding as a voter. Plus I just love the silliness and friendly banter between Margery and Jim…reminds me not to always take things so seriously. Yes, we have to “pace the rage” but we must never forget to find some joy. Thank you! PS: I’m a sustaining member and LONG TIME listener. Keep it coming! Bravo!

Love the show but it hasn’t been recorded for about a week. Where is it

Where’s 8/15 full show? and so many others?? when you do post the full show, how come it often omits the last 20 minute segment??

Love this show, so want to hear it. But often now show is cut off at the end (for the AITA !!) and generally not well + consistently uploaded (parts missing). Please fix !

On days I can’t listen at 11:00 I’d love to be able to listen to the full show when I have the time. Thank you.

Will you post the full show for July 22, 2024 please. Katy in NH

Full show once again is not available. I don’t think anybody actually looks at the podcast before if is posted.

Can we get the full show sooner daily?

How pathetic is Marjorie!!!! She couldn’t handle a debate with a caller and big Braude had to interrupt and save her by attacking the caller. It’s shows like this that lead to Trump’s shooting. Time to put these foolish octogenarians out to pasture. The way the two of these bullies attacked the caller was out of line!

There isn’t even a hint of trying to be unbiased. I love opinions. I love the news. But I have a hard time finding the commentary to be credible at this point.

Some days the full show podcast never seems to be uploaded or is uploaded late or is uploaded with part of it missing. I’d love for it to be consistently uploaded by 5pm daily. Considering I am a sustaining member and this podcast is the primary reason I am since I can rarely catch the show live I hope you can get back on track with this.

Love the show, but releases at different times, or sometimes not at all. Better to listen the day after than waiting for the epsiodes to drop between 3 and 11 PM

Didn’t you do this 30 years ago?

Lately i only get a looooong list of ONLY the most recent “best of” shows fm 2/16. I would like access to both these and the full programs. I did all kinds of troubleshooting to no avail. Please fix this

Love the show but in the podcast would be great if the title listed all the guests/topics. I especially like the episodes with John King, Chuck Todd, Paul Reville, Julia Kayem. Would make it easier to search the episodes

Listening to Jim Barretta listener about the teachers union strike. He cut her off repeatedly. Then gives Marjorie an earful. He is what is wrong with this country..

Would love to here a discussion on other points if views. Always interested in hearing you debate, so that I might get be more informed.

I love Jim and Margery and most of the regular guests. Since I often listen to the podcast, I love the episode chapters with time info. When I’m short of time I can be sure to hear the segments most important to me.

I thoroughly enjoy this show, but don’t listen much anymore because now there aren’t summaries in the written episode descriptions (they seemingly stopped getting posted a few weeks back). I often don’t have time to listen to an entire episode, and like to dip into favorite or interesting-sounding segments—unfortunately, now there’s no way to tell what’s in a given show. Content-wise, I give this show five stars, but I really miss the episode guides.

I discovered Jim and Margery (sp?) about two years ago - not sure how as I live in Miami- and I love the wide range of their conversations and topics (from politics to food to movies, ethics and pot!). Like listening to two literate friends... Their forthright support of liberal democratic values is my main respite from the insanity of trump and his amoral and unpatriotic enablers. Long may they rule the (air) waves!

Listen to this at night during my dog walks! Don’t always get to finish! Love Jim and Margery. Highly recommend.

I love the show and listen everyday, will change to 5 stars if one issue is solved. That is the irregular time that it publishes, or occasionally never shows up at all. I’m never sure whether it will be available at 3 the same day it aired or 6 the next day.

Jim and Margery are engaging and not afraid to ask the tough questions. Excellent, relevant topics and guests talking about issues in depth. I’d recommend the show to anyone and have.

Informative and funny. It’s comforting to listen to Jim and Margery talk through current events with humility and wit.

Love the show! Funny, informative and am interesting variety if guests both regular and occasional. Pls rethink the music. It’s annoying in podcast form. You can segue between segments more gently! I often listen to podcasts in the evening before sleep and the music jars me awake.

If you like to be informed about boston local and national news, and also would like to have ‘friends’ to listen to on your daily dog walks, I highly recommend! Comforting and interesting! Best weekly guests are Jonathan Gruber, Trenni, Juliet, Andrea Cabral, The Reverends, Callie, Chuck Todd, Rick Steves, Art Caplan. Thank you all for getting me through so many hours of walking during the past year(s).

Thank you for this powerful segment. I enjoy and look forward to each program

Just discovered this!!!! MY YEAR HAS BEEN MADE!!!!

I love public radio and how they encourage a variety of other voices that don’t get time on Fox News and talk radio. It’s small but needed. I’m in another state, thank you for providing this podcast as an alternative for listening. I can’t listen to the radio now since we are all at home anyway — need that pause button. Nice to hear things from a Boston perspective! I subscribed for Andy Ihnatko, but everyone else is great too. The best interviews. Almost as good as Colorado Matters on Colorado Public Radio. 😁

Great way to catch up on the local news.

Insightful intelligent radio.

I’m only able to listen to the podcast, as I’m at work then they air. They have THE best co-host chemistry! They welcomed me to Boston and “showed me around” when I moved here six years ago—and I’ve been with them (and all of their fantastic guests—I love them all—Sy, Juliette, Trenni (and I don’t even really like sports!), Irene & Emmett (they may be my favorite), Alex, chuck, Sue, Andrea, Paul, Nancy (where has she been), Jared, Adam, Callie....and, what I look forward to aaaaaallllll week, Emily and her Friday list!! And so many more!! I laugh, I learn and always feel better for having listened.

Before covid I always missed the show during the day but now it’s a must-listen in my house. I appreciate the callers and hosts, presenting a level-headed approach to the news. I was inspired to write this review after hearing a segment about returning to in-person learning featuring public school teacher’s voices. Thank you for valuing and listening to teachers 👍🏼🍎

Great show. I enjoy their perspectives and I feel they are unbiased about 80% of the time. The only problem is I have to turn the volume way up to hear them. The sound is way lower than any other podcast I listen to. I shut it off if I try to listen in my truck with windows open at all.

Jim and Margery are superb hosts of a funny, thought-provoking, and exceptional radio show. Topics include national and local politics, culture, and discussions on social issues. To those who want a great show with many perspectives, I would recommend this podcast I enjoy the three hour format. Please don’t change it!

Moved from Boston a few years back. Listened every day while I lived there, back to the talk radio station days. Still check in every once in a while to listen and see what’s going on .Keep up the great show Jim and Margery.

Love listening to Jim and Margery! I am a Bostonian in Berlin, Germany and I live still have my home connection through your great program!!!

Would it be possible to edit it so the segments are broken down in smaller chunks rather than a two or three hour episode? I’d love if there was a similar format as WBUR which gives the whole recording but also breaks them up into smaller bits by the stories covered. Just a suggestion.

This show is the funniest show on the air. I have to say, I didn’t know how explicit it would be with Margery moaning and achieving the climax of the sexual act all show. I love seeing the stages of dementia she is progressing through. Also, why didn’t Steve Robinson have the periscope audio?

I have been listening to Jim and Margery for years but lately I find myself tuning out frequently. I generally agree with the viewpoints of both of them but over the last couple years, Margery has become a broken record. Everything out of her mouth is about women, me too, and is dripping with animus towards men. I’d be interested to hear a man go on this show and throw it back at her-point out the numerous flaws that are exclusive to women and explain why men are suspicious of women in general. Furthermore, I have heard several female callers going farther with the anti-male narrative and not being challenged by either of them. If they want to lose the male side of their audience, they’re on the right track.

I loved her comparison between Lincoln and the GOP. I’m not one to write reviews but I was really inspired by her passion. I’m a long time listener who now lives in South Carolina and appreciate being able to hear Jim and Margery. I love their chemistry!

I love the topics on the show. But I would say please let people finish their thought before you agree or cut them off as it is hard to follow the show and hear every point of view. I understand y’all want to speak your point but just let the person speaking finish. I understand it’s human nature as well. But at the same time it does make for a more natural conversation which I do like. But other than that. This is a great show for Boston.

Both hosts are as charming and educated as can be. Keep on going!!! A really pleasant, in depth variation from the usual, self important news shows. Jerry Aaron

I moved from Natick ten years ago, so I love to still be able to hear their show.

I'm so glad they post this as a podcast every day for the times I miss the afternoon show. I've listened for years, and will continue to follow along. Keep up the great work, and thanks!

If you like boring podcasts, this is for you.

Terrible commentary and flat out false information by a group of fascists. Shirley Leung is a garbage reporter.

Horrible liberal biased
