Reviews

4.2 out of 5 stars from 5 ratings
  • Thank you, CNN & Kasie!

    I’ve been hoping CNN International would upload Kasie Hunt’s show on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. I used to follow Kasie on This Morning with Kasie Hunt, and it saddens me to know that The Arena with Kasie Hunt will not air in my country. I really admire her strong opinions and reporting style.

    Thank you again, CNNI and Kasie Hunt! 🙌🏻
