On the Media

On the Media draws upon engaging conversation, insightful commentaries, illuminating reports, and listener calls to explore how information, news gathering, and the variety of media available today affect our culture. It's compelling programming that questions common beliefs about television, radio, newspapers, books, films, and online media, and -- at the same time -- helps listeners understand the media as thoroughly as the media understands them.

Hosted by veteran journalists Brooke Gladstone and Bob Garfield, On the Media features a savvy roster of media-makers, observers, the newsworthy and the notable each week. Commentaries, analyses and reports cover significant media issues of the day, and longer-form investigative documentaries apply a microscope to the media, culture and society.
