Customer Reviews
Better than I expected-Great daily summary
I first found DSR after the Ukraine invasion. And I didn’t expect it to be such a great news aggregator, thinking it was limited in focus. But I was wrong. It’s broadly focused. And does an excellent job of gathering and disseminating daily summaries that are professional and informative.
If I were forced to give up other news sources keeping this single show would be my choice.
Highly recommended.
Was better before
Liked much better when it was a daily news bulletin without the unnecessary Rothkopf opinions and monitoring - I get that from other podcasts, so it isnt that i don't appreciate his pov, but why not leave this format alone?
Great synopsis
Excellent news summary of relevant issues.
