  • Feels rushed

    I’ve been looking for good podcasts that summarize each days news in a few minutes. They are surprisingly hard to find. This one is more local news for New Yorkers but it’s so short that it leaves you feeling like there should have been another 5 minutes.

    Westwood one has a good news summary podcast that covers a lot more stories.

  • Should be a bit longer

    I like the speed of how they summarize stories but I’d like the podcast better if it were a couple of minutes longer to cover more stories, especially when sports stories are covered and take time away from the news.
