Customer Reviews
No back catalogue?
The actual program is excellent and as a young person I actually get all my news here instead of from the radio or TV.
That being said, episodes are removed sporadically and randomly. Sometimes there's the last 5 episodes available and sometimes it just the most current. I'm not sure if this is a cost thing but it definitely diminishes the usefulness of having the podcast. At least have two or three and have some order to when episodes are removed.
Perhaps misnamed.
A significant number of stories about domestic politics, and a sprinkling of global news. Still, always enlightening news.
Not quick enough!
Even though the program is excellent, this is a very perishable news item. It needs to be posted no more than one hour after the actual broadcast to be useful. So far they are failing dismally.
