Mostly nonpartisan, best brief world news podcast I know of!
This is the primary way I update myself on major world news (apart from a US-based email brief). I like that the creators don’t insert opinion and commentary into this, although I say “mostly nonpartisan” because I sense left-leaning biases in the way they present certain stories (the perspective, assumptions, language used, etc.). I actually hear a bit less of this bias than I used to, which I appreciate.
This podcast is preferable to any TV news program because it’s to-the-point and just shares the story itself. I also love the addition of a positive story each day—bad news gets all the views, but we all need to know there are plenty of good things going on around us!
Love it!
Seriously, TL;DR (any) totally worth it!!!
Great idea but half of show is advertisement for paid subscription service
Great concept for a quick podcast but it loses most value added when multiple times mid-podcast the host stops and reminds you of the news he will only tell you if you pay him for his subscription service. These advertisements for his subscription service make up 50% of the time in each podcast.
I want to be able to move from one podcast to the next without handling my phone, so feeling forced to manually skip through 2-3min of adverts throughout a 2-3 min newscast kills whatever momentum I’m trying to keep in my morning routine.
