  • Accurate but AI

    It’s a well collated and presented listen to a wide variety of breaking news stories. Perhaps it is AI but the information is accurate enough to still be a good use of your time.

  • Good, but clearly AI generated!

    The analysis is good, though AI generated. The narrators even get their gender names interchanged - eg the male voice taking on a female name. Also, chuckles are actually read out as ‘chuckles’ 😆

    Jokes apart, is the outcome even edited / verified by qualified humans?

  • Record at higher volume

    Your show is very good delivered eloquently. Keep it up. My only suggestion is to record the shows in a higher volume. Because whenever I listen to your podcast, I got to crank up my phone volume when compared to other podcasts.
