Listener sentiment
Listener sentiment for Week In Review is notably polarized, with a loyal base that praises the show's investigative journalism and willingness to cover stories other outlets ignore, alongside a growing chorus of critics who feel the program has strayed from its journalistic roots. The most recent ratings — spanning roughly 2025 into 2026 — trend more negative than the show's historical average, with several reviewers citing a perceived right-leaning bias that contradicts the hosts' claims of being "unbiased," as well as frustration that internal staff conflicts and public feuds with former employees and competitors have bled into episodes. Recurring complaints across both recent and older reviews target co-host Jen Wood's on-air delivery, with multiple listeners independently describing her speaking style as halting, filled with verbal tics, and difficult to listen to, even when acknowledging her research skills. Long-time followers who initially discovered the show through its acclaimed Murdaugh dynasty coverage remain a core strength of the audience, though some now question whether the program has, as one reviewer put it, "jumped the shark."
