I’m very thankful for this podcast. Thank u SBS for making this available. It gives important headlines quickly and generally in an unbias way. Ofc there r some political undertones, especially in choosing to report on specific voices or opinions. But generally leaves it up to u to decide.

I am a very avid news consumer so of course I will subscribe to this and any news podcast such as this one. I have seen a lot of podcasts on Apple Podcasts that don’t do Australian news very well but this one does. I really love this news podcast for the fact that I do not have to take attention away from whatever else I am doing so I can be looking at work and listening to this informative podcast. What I do not like however is that ads are frequent.
Content is fine. All the major news stories covered in a relatively unbiased manner. However, production value is very low. Episodes are often late (hours or even days), audio quality can be poor, intro/outro music played twice in a row, common words and names horribly mispronounced (often comically so). I get the impression nobody actually listens to the episodes before they’re published, and that nobody provides feedback to the newsreaders re pronunciation.
Especially in the morning, the latest episode is often unavailable. Mostly you would find it on the website but sometimes it’s just not there at all :/
