- I miss the old podcast
I don’t like this year’s new format. I’ve been giving it a couple months to settle since the change, but I don’t enjoy it.
I really miss starting the episode with the day/date instead of a wordy mouthful of headlines. It was just a better way to uniformly start before going into detail.
I also feel last year’s writing was simpler and more factual. I listen to this podcast while driving to stay current on what’s going on in the world, and the verbiage is more difficult, and taking quotes from ... more

Apple Podcasts5receiptwranglerUnited Statesa month ago - Keep Gideon
I wish they’d keep Gideon on full time. He is the best by far. Cecilia Lay is monotone and sounds like she’s reading a very boring book.
So many of their reporters say “right?”, “sort of”, etc. throughout their report- very annoying and bad grammar. Otherwise, I love this podcast. It’s how I start my day, everyday.
Apple Podcasts5tiktok criss crossUnited States2 months ago - Trump Touches Down In Bijing / Meteorologist Report on Global ’ Super El Niño
PM or President Xi is no fool. A stable yet stern warning had been given at end of meet. I’d say it is due to our present-sitting Presidents reputation for so-called domination and or control, to very possibly better a government regime of dictatorships. That had some seemingly too aggressive confrontations at points. Hopefully dust will settle soon. And as for our Meteorologist Reports on a possible ’ Super El Niño ‘, I feel soon, as we lack our own responsibilities to calm and or possibly reve... more
Apple Podcasts5TkotooUnited States2 months ago - Not journalism. Time waster.
BAD: It’s almost all US issues. What do the rest of us pay for? So sick of them.
WORSE: There is no journalism here. It isn’t balanced or objective at all, it just reiterates US regime priorities and talking points. Since these are completely distorted, often blatantly false, and designed to manipulate US voters, Apple should offer coverage seen there a more objective and international lens.
Grow a pair, Apple. You’re losing people’s respect.
