Customer Reviews
Excellent news - crappy navigation
Excellent content for a truly global update during the commute to and from work. But why is it so hard to get the latest episode playing instead of continuing playing some former episode that I had to brake off mid-way! Very annoying stuff - special may when driving ....
What’s going on ?
This is a great podcast but it has recently stopped working on my IPhone ? Is it just me?
Excellent
It presents a picture of the news that I feel I can trust
