  • Journalism👍intro-music👎

    Perhaps the best daily news roundup podcast available. Thorough, expansive, and ethically-responsible while remarkable accessible. An excellent alternative to Up First or The Daily. …that all aside, seriously, change the opening music. It feels so incredibly tone-deaf to be listing the latest slew of war-crimes and assaults to democracy over a backdrop of a jazzy upbeat ska-funk band.

At times she is just an awf... more

These were largely from Israel’s “mow the lawn” policy of unprovoked attacks. Two happened just a couple days before, during the first week of October.

    This is a shocking statistic that needs reporting. It demonstrates the scope i... more
