    Anecdotal observations
    It’s interesting to listen to but it is just about as far from science as one could get. The guests and hosts of the show offer mainly anecdotal evidence explaining, country infection rates. If you’re looking for some almost comic relief in your Coronavirus reporting this is not a bad choice. It’s quite entertaining but hard to take seriously.

    Nice podcast ! Please add a bit more info to episode notes. Was frustrated not to catch the location names of Eurasian region covered in “Breakaway States and Pandemic” episode.

    A fresh deep-dive on overlooked topics
    Amy Mackinnon and James Palmer are captivating podcast hosts with a treasure trove of knowledge. I’ve learned something new and revealing with every episode, and it's among my top go-to morning podcasts. Well done!

    Liberal and biased
    I was hoping for a non-partisan interpretation of the medical information. They just hate trump

    Thank You!

    Good global perspective
    Great podcast to listen to about coronavirus that covers more than just what’s happening in the US (while also having good stories about what is happening in the US) and the hosts are great!

    Had hoped for bipartisanship
    I was excited to hear some new voices disseminating accurate and objective insights into the coronavirus situation. But I was caught up short by the stabs of vitriol directed at Trump. We need some neutrality at this critical time as we are all just trying to keep our heads up in this swirling mass of infectious uncertainty. Where are the bipartisan podcasts?
