    Thank you for providing a great Australian News Podcast without all the BS and only the relevant stories. Ben O’Shea presents it really well and was worth listening daily. Please remove Bell Taylor from the rotation as she is letting down what was a fantastic podcast.

    The other let down is that you publish the segments as seperate podcasts as well which is quite annoying and unnecessary.
