? A podcast about the challenges and ethical dilemmas that journalists face. Hosted by Brian Reed, Question Everything dives into journalism’s internal crises, featuring panel discussions with prominent reporters like Ira Glass and personal reflections from investigative veterans like Barton Gellman. These conversations are illuminating but heavily industry-focused, often feeling like a closed-circle dialogue that may not be as legible to listeners outside the media world.

While heavily industry-focused, the podcast tries not to alienate non-media listeners. In one of the episodes, Reed interviews a politically divided married couple about their shared trust in a singular news source, focusing on everyday consumers of journalism.

However, the podcast’s generally insider-heavy approach raises questions about whether it actually reaches those who distrust the media. Reed’s nuanced reflections are insightful for those already invested in journalism’s future but may fall flat for listeners who aren’t exactly fans of legacy media sources.

We’re only a few episodes in. Question Everything feels like a work in progress that examines a deeply important issue. Whether Reed can evolve the show into a bridge between journalists and their critics remains uncertain, but for now, it’s a compelling listen for those who care about the future of journalism.

WHERE TO LISTEN: You can listen to the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and iHeart.
