    Good show. Thorough and fast moving. Podcasts used to be uploaded way faster- as soon as show ended. Now it takes hours for them to appear making them slightly redundant.

  • Way too many short clips

    As an Irishman living in Africa, RTE is the best source for Audubon news updates, but why can it not be more streamlined. So many short repetitive clips that fill up the playing list.

    Please provide a separate option to listen back to the whole show in one podcast. Thanks.

Listeners Say

Key themes from listener reviews, highlighting what works and what could be improved about the show.

A strong international-to-local mix keeps it relevant for abroad listeners and locals alike.
Concise, fast-moving briefing; sometimes delayed updates to episodes frustrate listeners.
Segmented format is polarizing: some praise choice and variety, others want a single continuous episode.
