I was shocked and delighted to see a new episode this morning after the announcement in Feb. Turns out it is just a teaser for a different podcast, which I’m sure is lovely, but not the return of Post Reports. Bring it back Bezos…!

Sad to lose outstanding journalism from fantastic journalists. RIP. The Empty Grave of Comrade Bishop was, without question, my most treasured podcast of any genre. An extraordinary journey reflecting incredible effort, investigative integrity, forethought, exploration of complex historical context, follow through, and follow up with a hint of personalization that brought the story to life in truly remarkable fashion. Many thanks to Martine Powers, I am forever grateful for the gem you created.

Please come back, I miss you and I’m sad that you’re gone. Impossible to have to favorite podcast but definitely was in my favorite category and weekly listen that opened me up for other pods. I hope you return. If not I’ll go back a listen again.(never gets old) Thanks for everything…

Missing you guys so much! Where are you? I want to hear you guys again! JCA

And both the hosts. They are amazing journalists.

This is honestly the best news podcast out there and I shouldn't have taken y'all for granted. F Jeff bezos he's made all of our lives worse.

I have been a listener to this podcast from almost the beginning. It has consistently been one of the best news podcast available and has never left my feed. To everyone who had anything to do with producing this body of work, thank you. You are loved and you will be missed.

Will Oremus helping kill democracy for this rogue regime. The oligarchy paper now.

A great loss! You all have provided a top notch stories for us. Loved listening to your stories. ❤️

This podcast was one of the reasons I maintained my years-long Washington Post subscription after all the recent politically driven changes. I may now cancel it.

Really enjoyed this show. Sad to see Bezos killing another aspect of true to life reporting at the Post. One of the reasons we subscribed. Will be switching to the NY Times when our current subscription ends. Good riddance Jeff.

this wonderful show should not have been the thing to go

For almost the entire time the podcast was out there I have been listening. My morning commute will never be the same. Thank you for all the hard work and all the stories.

What a disappointing decision to end this podcast in favor of… we all know what! I thoroughly enjoyed the podcast, hosts & journalism. Sad ending.

I’m sorry to see Post Reports go. It’s disappointing to see brilliant aspects of the Post shut down, but very much expected to see Jeff Bezos’ unrelenting ignorance and opportunism take center stage in this climate. Maybe now he can allocate his meager funds toward sprucing up his poor public image.

I’ve been listening since day 1 and simply can’t wrap my head around the decision to discontinue this podcast. The reporting has been incredibly important and invaluable to the fabric of our society. A truly sad end to an excellent source of news. Martine, Colby, Elahe, EVERYONE involved with this pod will be sorely missed. You should all be proud of what you created and gave to the American public. Until we meet again….

Post Reports has been apart of my morning routine for years. I want to thank all the staff who have worked on this podcast. The journalism was impressive, thorough, and impartial. Y’all are already missed!

I am horrified that the post is eliminating this wonderful podcast. You guys have been by my side for over 5 years and I will dearly miss your engaging, insightful reporting. You should consider leaving Jeff Bezos in the rear view mirror and continuing the podcast on your own.

Dear Martini P. Thank you for your report! It is interesting and brings sadness to Lear more about the subject. For your information at that time the US participation on repression of central and South American was very extensive , you probably can get more information about it from reliable source ; my point to comment about your report is to confirm that making people “ despair “ was a distinct characteristic of the participation of the US interfering on the political and economic affairs of this country’s ; I’m sure you will find more information on the subject ; because it was recently on the news “ that the US had to return much of this information to Argentina , not just the information but also some planes that were used to dump bodies on the ocean (after this peoples where disappeared) Not just in your parents country but many others in South America. Thank you for thre report and your consideration. M from Argentina.

Getting emotional listening to this last episode. Thank you for the last 7 years. It has been an honor.

Thank you to Martine and all the wonderful reporters who worked on this podcast. I’m so sorry for what Bezos has done to the Post. You all deserve better.

what a great show. such a shame it’s ending.

I listen to Post Reports daily. I love it! Like another reviewer, this was the reason I subscribed. I’m terribly sad to hear the team say farewell. We need you guys!

I really enjoyed Post Reports. I’ll miss this show.

I am so sad to hear this show is ending. It was truly special. Thank you to the amazing journalists who made this happen.

I’m truly sad to see The Washington Post podcast come to an end. As a subscriber, it became a valued part of my daily routine and a trusted way to stay connected to the news. The reporting was thoughtful, clear, and consistently high quality, making even complex topics easy to follow. I genuinely appreciated the care and credibility that went into each episode. It will certainly be missed and leaves a meaningful gap for listeners who relied on it for informed, engaging daily news.

I feel bad that post reports is gone my every morning listening. Education is gone. Your knowledge will be missed. I also feel bad that clearly Jeff Bezos doesn’t have enough money to keep the post alive and healthy

Really upset that Washington Post ripped apart this awesome podcast. Hate WP!

Thank you all for your incredible work on this podcast. I have been listening for a number of years now and I have always looked forward to the next episode. Your shows have uplifted my spirit in the wildness of the world and I will be forever grateful.

The Post is one of our few iconic media properties. Since Mr. Bezos has serious conflicts of interest I wish he would sell the paper to another willing and able to support the paper. I was horrified to learn that the Only journalist in Ukraine has been fired in the midst of the war Mr. Bezos needs to find a philanthropist who can perhaps run the paper as a non-profit or absorb the loss. The post is a common good like electricity and water. Again, I am so sorry for those losing their positions and am devastated for our country that needs a functioning, legitimate media

It’s emotional for me to listen to the last ever episode of the podcast. Post Reports has been on my daily podcast routine, and I will miss it. Thank you to everyone who worked on it

Hope that the Washington Post can find another owner that actually cares about educating and informing people while supporting the journalists that do the hard work to produce the news. Thank you to the Washington Post journalists that worked tirelessly to inform us.

This was a great podcast. I personally loved the newer Saturday segment where they highlighted positive, feel good stories. It’s an absolute travesty what’s happening at the WaPo. Maybe with some luck, the podcast will return 🙏 in the future along with some of the journalists who’ve been lost.

I’ve been a faithful listener for the past 7 years or so. Post Reports was such an important supplement to my favorite journal, The Wash Post. I felt a terrible foreboding when the by line, “Democracy Dies In Darkness”, disappeared. It was Jeff Bezos’ not-so-subtle clue as to what he had planned. I’m so sad and worried. I wish you all well and will look for you reporting the facts elsewhere.

The Post Reports was in my daily rotation. It’s really unfortunate this historical institution of the Washington Post is being run to the ground by the book licking incompetence of the current ownership/management. I hope there are brighter days ahead for the post with a different ownership.

Saddened to learn that WaPo has shut down Post Reports. You e been a great companion for 7 years — I remember some of those ‘home closet’ episodes. Hate to lose all these talented female journalists in my ear every day.

This podcast is reliably interesting and informative. Im upset with Bezos for pulling the plug on some of the best reporting in podcasting.

Hi, I am wondering if the shows, especially the Maurice Bishop doc that Martine Powers published, are going to disappear or if they will continue to be available. Thanks for your great work. Robert Curley, Guadalajara Mexico

Your podcast is so good at reporting and explaining facts on the world’s current affairs. The work has been outstanding. DEMOCRACY DIES IN DARKNESS. Until we meet again, let her buck.

Legit the only reason I subscribe to the Washington Post. I absolutely love this podcast!! You bring some of the best reporting ever!!!!! I’m so sad to hear this end. I love you all and Martin Powers, thank you! You’re voice has guided me through so many world events. So much love to all of you. 🙌🏽

I’m absolutely gutted that Bezos took my favorite podcast away.

Being a regular listener of this show for the last 6 years has been a joy. I hope to hear these voices in another podcast feed sometime soon, I’ll to follow you wherever you end up. Thank you thank you thank you!

I loved this show. I loved the brave and intelligent journalists who worked tirelessly. When I heard the incredible episode about January 6, I became a loyal listener. Bezos and his ilk are further strangling free speech. Anyone still holding on to Amazon Prime is part of the problem.

Bye

Great job done! And thanks for all the reports!

I’m incredibly sad to see this show come to a end. I’ve listened to every single episode since the beginning and it has meant so much to me. Congratulations to the entire Post Reports team on the amazing work you have done. I’ll truly miss you all, and I’m wishing each of you so much success in whatever comes next.

This podcast was music to my ears when I started my car after work everyday. I’ll miss you all so much !!

Thank you for sharing your talents with us. Looking forward to hearing more from you all wherever you land your next gig. xo

There is a special place in hell for Jeff Bozo! One of the great newspapers of our time has been hijacked by a billionaire lacking honor and scruples. Long live Woodward, Bernstein, Bradlee, Simons, Graham and countless others who built this amazing paper and subsequent entities!

Always looked forward to the afternoon report and your voices. Hope to hear you again here or where you land.
