Customer Reviews
Awesome.
I love this podcast. It’s short, sharp and to the point, but still conveys the news you need. The only improvement that I could recommend is something which others have said, to expand the range of Apple News podcasts, such as an Australian or Technology edition. That aside, this is definitely one of my favourite podcasts.
More versions please!!!
Where is the Australian version? And tech version? And entertainment version? Expand the range!!!
