  • Horrible woman Jenny Nah on 6/6/2022 episode

    It is the first time hearing Jenny Nah announcer. She is beyond terrible. If she continues to be on the program, I am going to unsubscribe it. She cannot read.

  • No date announcement. Why?

    Why doesn’t the program say the date at the beginning of the program? After listening to episode one after another, I realized I was listening to a news that happened a week ago! Is it too much to say “today is #####”. What kind of news program starts like this?
