Customer Reviews
Good but late
It's good short informative BUT it gets posted really late in the day :/
🗞It'd be really convenient if this audio is offered in the mobile app in the espresdo section (or at least linked/mentioned, the same way other podcasts are mentioned).
Good information with unemotive presentation
Good information presented with all the expression of an automaton. If it is not at least read by AI I would be very disappointed.
Same content is posted 2 - 3 times a day
Same content seems to be posted again and again with slight variations in the news stories since subscribing to podcasts plus :/
