Waking Up with a Quicky!

What a great podcast! I love the morning show where I get the news round up, followed by an in-depth chat about a variety of topics. Does what it says on the box and “feeds your mind”.
Unconscionable silence. Selective

It is a profound disservice to journalism—and to humanity—when a media organization fails to cover the harrowing realities unfolding in Gaza beyond Oct 7th. To ignore completely the monumental recent rulings from the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the International Court of Justice (ICJ) is unconscionable. Silence in the face of the continuing mass suffering and the now well documented genocide, is complicity. Entire communities are being devastated, and landmark decisions that could shape the future of international justice are being ignored. Complete omission or small sanitised mentions of the atrocities on your platform and this podcast seem the way these things get spoken of. These omissions do not go unnoticed. They speak volumes about priorities and biases, betraying the trust of audiences who rely on you to amplify truth and hold power accountable. Journalism exists to shine a light on the darkest corners of the world. It reports all the big stories, not some. It corrects the false reports over time. And it certainly shares with its audience these historic rulings. If you are unwilling to cover stories of such immense gravity, then who will? 70% of all those slaughtered and missing in Gaza are children and women. History will remember not just those who committed crimes against humanity but also those who chose to look away and remain silent allowing them to do so. Do better. Humanity demands it. And for goodness sake, please also stop calling yourself the podcast that keeps everyone up with the news cycle and top stories. Because that is also no longer true.
Too many ads

Over 4 minutes of ads for 4 minutes of actual news. Disgraceful.
Glossy Top Line

Not real journalism. Covers topics that are way too complex to be covered in a podcast of this nature/length. It has a tendency to be quite left leaning and make comments on topics/ regions they obviously know very little about. Would be best to stick to royalty or fashion if unable to report objectively and give important world issues the time and balance they deserve.
