Apple Podcasts1kiwiholdenAustralia2 years ago - Stop with Trump/US Politics Focus
Unfortunately I couldn’t find anywhere else to provide feedback on episode basis.
I like the overall show, but starting to get really annoyed with the US-Trump focus. We just need to know the winner and policies that impact Australia/World, not the White House Retirement home useless drama.

Frequently Asked Questions About The Update
What is The Update about and what kind of topics does it cover?
A brisk, news-forward show covers a wide mix of domestic and international headlines with a focus on Australian policy, economics, and current events. Episodes often thread through finance—like central bank decisions and census logistics—into defense, technology, and sport, then wrap with entertainment notes. A standout angle across recent samples is the integration of national security topics (e.g., defense contracts) into everyday updates, giving listeners a compact briefing that blends policy, business, and culture. It likely attracts listeners seeking quick, reliable updates across politics, economy, and world events, with a preference for timely, practical context over deep storytelling.
