  • I used to love it

    It used to be a good start to the day but now that the new brief is AI, I’m no longer interested. Protect the humans.

  • Disappointed with AI use

    Please stop using AI to generate content and produce the voice of the news. I will probably stop listening until this is corrected.

  • Disappointed in AI Use

    DMN podcast has been a part of my morning routine for years, but no longer. The switch to ai writing and sometimes reading the script is not journalism or news I can support. I’ll check back in the future if you’ve gotten rid of the ai.

  • AI Slop

    The use of AI in script writing and voices makes this news debrief unreliable. The cost savings to use AI and lose listeners can’t be more than just hiring someone with a mic to read for 5 minutes. Shame.
