Meghna is an excellent interviewer, asking great questions. A lot of interesting discussions and tries to present solutions at the end of the episode. These are the reasons why this stays on my feed as one of the few current event podcasts I listen to.

Love megda. thought provoking interviewing, and tries to find solutions, not just talk about problems, which I appreciate.

Better with Tom. I've listened to on point for over a decade, and I gave it a chance for over a year after he was forced out, its just not as good of a show anymore. the shows lost its soul.
