- Great News Updates
Aaron is a machine. I don’t know how he gets it all done.
I was a Steve Deace show listener drawn to Deace’s covid commentary and evidence, which led me to the A.M. Update when it was launched. Aaron has done a great job progressing now to a very professional and well done news update podcast. He has run into some difficulties with his podcast service, which did get frustrating for both Aaron and the listeners, but to his credit Aaron stuck with it and I am glad he did.
Unlike his boss, Aaron ... more

Open the icon and use two fingers to slowly pull it down until the little circle spins at the top - for 10-15 seconds. It will jump and latest episodes will have populated in your feed. I know we shouldn’t have to but honestly NO calories are expended in this effort. Aaron is worth it. Please continue to support this excellent podcast and hopefully Apple will get it together. I am a very old woman and Aaron is an inspiring young man worth listening to.

I sent a review a couple weeks ago. I’m sending another today 6/19. The only way I can find new episodes is to daily unfollow then close then search then follow again. This may affect your stats 😊
My original message a couple weeks ago. “I have been subscribed since you started AM Update on my podcast app - iPhone. It hasn’t updated for 6days. I have to go to X then select the apple podcast link there.”

Aaron does a great job sharing news with Christian perspective. I love that it’s not too long and I can listen to it daily.

Aaron,
My last update on Apple Podcasts was May 15. I wasn’t sure what was going on and as I am self employed and do a fairly large amount of ministry, I haven’t had time to research what has been going on. I understand it’s not your fault, I am certain you would like to know it’s happening. Good luck getting it straightened out. Praying for you!
