  • Essential Start of Every Morning

    I don’t feel like I’m ready for weekdays until I’ve listened to this podcast. As someone who needs to be armed with the last 24 hour’s national and global highlights, this podcast DELIVERS efficiently and effectively. The Saturday episodes are also very well done.

  • One Sided

    Gave this a try to try and stay middle of the road on the news. Nope. Erica Mandy hates Trump and spends too much time letting you know about it. How about some actual news?

  • Now a liberal news program

    Sadly I am no longer listening to this podcast. It can’t hide its pure hatred of the president. I don’t lean right or left and was hoping to simply catch the news every morning. Instead I have to endure bashing of the conservative party. That’s not news.

  • Host cannot contain her hate for current administration

    Completely biased reporter- she cannot control her tone when she talks about the current administration, she sounds snide. Time to change the name to the “Democratic Newsworthy” not at all fair reporting
