  • Music in the background

    I love getting my quicky news updates but the music playing in the background the whole time is really, really distracting. Please go back to not doing that 😅

  • The only way I want to hear my news!

    I love this podcast. I listen on the train every morning on my way to work and get my dose of news. Love that I get the headlines but also get to hear more about a big news story. Definitely recommend.

  • Appalling spelling and punctuation

    Someone needs to proofread the written summaries for each episode. They are often riddled with spelling and punctuation errors. Today’s Good News Update (17 October) is shocking. I have no idea how this gets published in its current format.
