  • No longer updates

    Good podcast but it no longer updates on my car podcast app “Tune-In”. No longer updates online either. Only way to get is through Apple which I hate using.

  • Content fine, but not to schedule

    The news content is probably in a par with any other broadcaster. Given the 60-90 second duration, most of the top stories are covered. However, some days there are 3 updates, some days 2, nothing over the weekend, and sometimes they’re released late. Those issues seem imminently fixable.

  • Massive factual error - I thought this was the news?

    Episode on release of Epstein documents said “Biden” was named. THIS IS AN ERROR IN FACT. It was former Presidents CLINTON AND TRUMP who were named. Really bad form ABC. I listen to this for facts…?
