I think that it is very good and interesting
And I wood rent it 5 out of 5
And news is important
And age rating 7 years old I wood say
Droning monotonous voice of the presenter who drains the life out of any real conversation by asking stupid pointless questions. News podcast for 5 years and under. Dumbed down drivel.
Some useful topics covered, but the presenter/guests are uninformed and have no knowledge pre 2015! They also speak and read out their scripts as though the listeners are thick and unable to follow a decent pace - very annoying!
Awful left wing bias. I tried listening to a few episodes to give it a chance. But I couldn’t take the blatant left wing bias. It shouldn’t be this hard to find a pod that gives factual reporting, without giving biased opinions
If I had my ear pods I could listen now
