4.5 out of 5 stars from 161 ratings
  • New music is awful

    Love this and usually it’s 5 stars but the new music is insane with the loud beat - louder than the announcers. What happened to the mellow music- no one wants beats on the news

    6.5 minute podcast, 3 minutes of commercials / 3.5 minutes of news. I hate it.

  • Nice podcast

    Good reporting. They could use better editing, and cut back on the long commercial ads. And does anyone else feel like the Saturday theme music sounds depressing?
