  • Great small dose newscast

    I rely on this podcast when time is short, to keep informed of goings-on. I had thought it was just for NYC news, but increasingly news from NY state is included, and even NJ. Wish it was truly just NYC and true local stories, like I read in the Brooklyn Paper, because hyper local news is “easy” to miss in a place this big.
