TYSM for highlighting Congressman John Lewis. If he hadn’t been so ill, and his successor not listened to Pelosi or McConnell or hadn’t trusted Article 3 to hold officials accountable for abuses of power when it suited their own policy goals, all of the corruption would have been charged before the first impeachment, I think. He would’ve agitated Nadler for quicker movement and aggressive defense of the Congress, and the People.

This “news” podcast provides problematic, one-sided, and incomplete coverage of various news events. Reporters fail to challenge guests and interviewees when they provide incorrect or even offensive information.

I’ve listened to several shows. They’re done but just so surface level. I’d prefer much better questions from the host and more in depth

Fantastic show. I love the quick, 15-minute podcast segments highlighting state and local news. Keep up the good work!

I LOVE The Common! I’ve been listening to the show for about a year, and I can say that the program teaches me something new about our city every day! The team is doing really fabulous work. I really like how the show deftly balances a mix of topics - local news, arts and culture, and more, woven together to show the tapestry of daily life in Boston. Great host, top notch production, interesting and engaging guests - well done team!

Good local news and culture podcast. Solid guests. I really like Daryl’s interviews. I’ve been listening from the very first episode and it’s great to see the show mature and deepen. Sometimes I’m less enthused about the food and arts segments, but I think that’s mostly personal taste (and the fact that with two young kids, I don’t get out much to enjoy food and arts these days 😆) I have to say though, I’m starting to get fed up with the BU Academy ads. They are *very* long compared to the content of the podcast. And I also personally think they are load of elitist bull**** (much like what’s on offer at most private schools). I’m not sure what the term is for the classism equivalent of “greenwashing”. But that’s what these ads are trying to do for private schools which are, *by structure and design*, elite, exclusive, and only available to the few. Private schools necessarily undermine faith and investment in public school systems which affects all of us - including those who don’t have kids or those who would pay through the nose to escape it. /rant Short review: good podcast. Skip the ads.

I grew up in Cambridge and now I live in the Merrimack Valley. I love how The Common includes those communities at times while also keeping me updated on city life. And of course Darryl is awesome!!

Solid show

I just moved in to the Boston area and I’m so impressed with and grateful for this podcast! I learn about a helpful piece of Boston every time I listen. I just learned about the newsletter for newcomers! Thanks to the host and guests for creating sharp, relatable, and helpful content!

Keep up the good work!

I must say this show has helped expand my views on Boston and see it as a more layered interesting city.

Great local podcast with good relevant high-quality interviews

Love listening to my Boston news via podcasts

Too much focus on social issues and not enough news.

I love the quick stories daily on various things going on at home.

This is a great show! I love the episodes that highlight the top things to do every month.

Topics are very interesting .the host makes you feel comfortable with a little chuckle sometimes nice to listen to early mornings keep up the good work …

Really love having a well-reported and engaging podcast about Boston and MA every day! Amazing work!

I just listened to the episode on the shelter crisis in Boston and Mass. I am so happy to have a podcast that focuses on MA specific issues and features the reporting from local journalists. I would love to learn more about Massachusetts politics and news from The Common. Thank you!

Love the host and the range of topics
