  • My daily news source.

    I like the 6AM, 12PM, 6PM schedule because anything more than that is repetitive. But they need to rotate out their commercials, the crying baby is over done’

  • Crying Baby

    Stop the crying baby ad. It is so dang triggering. My kid is 6 years old and that ad is literally giving me flashbacks of postpartum depression. Choose better ads. Way to go Legal Zoom, “how do I be as annoying as humanly possible?” What’s next fingernails on a chalkboard?

  • Choose better ads

    I don't know why you would choose to run ads for the first thing is babies, crying in car alarms, especially for your early podcast. I like the format and the content of the actual podcast, but I still don't want to listen to a baby crying on my rush-hour traffic. This is gone on for weeks now and I still don't know what the ad is for cause I keep skipping it.

  • UNLISTENABLE

    This podcast has continued to cut back time after time since it’s inception. They used to have multiple briefings with a variety of news throughout the day. Now it’s just three short briefings with the same nonsense. Oh, and they have the absolute worst commercials ever, including a screaming baby. The second podcast starts. STOP the insanity!

    PS… Still WAY better than fake, tabloid trash, like Fox News.
