It’s great to have the episodes but they are 6-12 hours behind when I need them. I want up to date information so if the episode says it’s from the night before and hasn’t been updated then it’s not as helpful as it could be.
After they switched the podcasting backend to Art19 from Spotify for Podcasters, this podcast is useless. Now It’s only updated once daily in the morning. Get yesterday’s top news, as of 18 hours ago!
