'Cotto/Gottfried' is the thinking man's current events show. Rather than run with sound-bite-driven 'interviews' which last only a few minutes or sensationalist 'debates' where the host shouts down the person being addressed, appropriate consideration is given to diverse ideas. Knowledge, rather than pandering, is the focal concern. With a typical running time of about an hour, every episode is designed to deliver as much information as possible without skimping on conversation quality or denting your schedule.
