  • NATO perspective

    Dr. Marion Mesmer has a lot of discussion about President Trump’s commitment to NATO and that she believes that it’s not strong enough.

  • Repetitious

    I have always enjoyed the reporting from the BBC, but the producers of this twice-daily podcast tend to recycle material. In the second episode of the day I always have to skip through stuff that had been played word for word in the earlier installment. I'd rather it just be produced once daily if that's how it's going to be, or for the later update to be only 5-10 minutes if that's all the original material available.

  • Disappointed

    What once was a news outlet that set the gold standard, has sadly turned from reporting the news to steering it and letting personal biases take point. A great legacy is now tarnished.
