  • Morning Encouragement

    I love starting my day with The Morning Five. It’s a great way to stay up to date without having to watch/follow less encouraging news outlets.

    My only complaint is that it doesn’t come out on Fridays, too!

  • Great content — not so much the audio

    Love the content! Would be 5 stars if the audio was better. The ads are so loud and clear, but the actual content of the pod is so quiet.
