- Good news source
I appreciate the communication of a Japanese perspective on current events. If only they would stop dedicating half their time or more to the same language lesson or travelogue every single day of a given week! This is great content for a different podcast; it’s not news

Japan4 months ago - Nice Asian perspective
I like to see what the world is thinking. I think it’s a different perspective that I enjoy, listening to especially the television version. The one thing that’s not as good is the episodes that have easy Japanese learning. They’re very repetitive and the transcription doesn’t work properly.
Apple Podcasts4Will in CaliforniaUnited States4 months ago - スラスラ英語を読めないアナウンサーを使わないで欲しい
女性で英語が上手い人なんていくらでもいるからそういう人を採用してほしい。番組は良い。男性では高音で軽い調子で英語を読むのは頂けない、ニュースであって、エンタメじゃないですから。あとは、すべてよし。追記2025.5 江崎大輔記者は英語カタカナ読みでふざけ過ぎです。2025.11山下カズヒロ記者も原稿読み上げなのに中学生レベルの読み上げです。本人も嫌でしょうし、上層部は何を考えているのでしょうか？

Frequently Asked Questions About English News
What is English News about and what kind of topics does it cover?
A concise, international news-focused program delivering English-language updates on major world events and Japan's developments. Recurring topics include geopolitical tensions in Taiwan Strait and Gaza, Japan's nuclear policy and diplomacy, and high-profile political and security stories from around the globe.
