  • Best way to stay in the know

    I couldn’t be more grateful for the Squiz. As an Aussie living abroad, the Squiz helps me stay informed about what’s happening back home and around the world. It is the perfect way to start my day. I love that it helps me cut through the noise of news inundation, allowing this time poor mum to stay up to date and seem like I semi know what I’m talking about. Thanks Squiz team!

  • Short but substantial

    Love this podcast. It can’t be easy to produce such a succinct, yet comprehensive overview of the news and still feel warm and friendly. I also love their incredible work to teach media literacy to Aussie kids.
