Why are the episodes posting and automatically downloading a day late? I have not noticed this with other podcasts that I listen to.
By the time you post the podcast it’s old news.
It’s 99% for federal agency CIO/IT employees. They should be clearer my agency is a large federal agency and never gets coverage in this podcast but each time an agency CIO post changes people it’s covered. If I was in my agency’s CIO I’d give it five stars but since I’m not it’s more of a 1-2 star rating.
Love the podcast other than trying to decipher Jason Miller’s reports. Dude needs some major lessons on enunciation.
Where can a find the song that you’all use in the outro? The song is so pretty.

A daily, high-information roundup of federal government news delivered in concise segments, with data-driven updates on policy, workforce, technology, and procurement. Each episode typically features multiple reporters and covers timely topics such as retirement processing, hiring reforms, IT modernization, regulatory changes, and agency leadership moves. The short format and cross-agency reporting make it a practical briefing for federal employees, contractors, and policy observers who want fast, credible updates with links for deeper exploration. A standout quality is the tight, seven-minute delivery that aggregates several stories from diverse federal agencies, often including context and implications for operations and budgets.
