  • Disappointing - Murdoch Lite

    Political leanings thinly veiled. Shame as format is good but not very balanced, just very cheerily delivered. Always looking for some quality Aussie content. This isn’t it.

    Thank you for giving me an accurate summary of the daily news, fact checked and with always a positive news story as well. While living in Amsterdam for 2 years, you were my Australian news, listening to you while riding my bike to work each day! You are part of my week day routine. Love what you do…giving me a squiz on the daily news!

    Have been listening daily for a few months now. Was seeking an Australian daily news pod after too much trump doom and gloom on NPR. Love the tone of the Squiz, informative and friendly. Well done! And thanks
