United Kingdom15 days ago - Great topical content
Very good news summary to start the day, just wish they would choose a different host as the regular host has a v strong American accent that’s hard to listen to, very grating and often have to skip when she is on

The best sum-up of business and political news every morning! (And without the fanfare music that several similar US pods have)
