This show is the best place I've found to hear thoughtful and deeper coverage of current events. Half-hour news shows in prime time don't have the ability to spend sufficient time on important topics. Cable news drives me nuts, waiting to hear meaningful information between all the filler.
Visiting experts are allowed more time to give background information. The quality of invited experts is consistently high. There is none of the usual standing about with a microphone finding creative ways to avoid admitting that there is no factual news to report.
Since I record and watch later, I can FF through any repeat stories (a 30- minute news cycle, I think) and look for the longer pieces that have better content about current events.
Hosts tend to cycle through, moving on to better time slots, I suppose. But, the regular hosts are normally talented journalists and interviewers, not people asserting opinions and striving to focus the spotlight on themselves.
