  • Good news podcast, but too much bloat before and after news

    The news stories are good. Casual discussions around big stories in the country.

    However constant sale messages of events, music outro intro is too much.

  • AI DRIVEN CONTENT

    A lot of the voice overs are AI driven. This is not appreciated.

    Also a lot of the facts are not true especially the podcast on Doctors, Healthcare and Pharma. They are very very biased.

  • I love Daybreak

    I have one feedback though. There are too many podcast on quick commerce. Every week there is one or two sometimes.

    Why we are so focused on quick commerce.
