Customer Reviews
The best news podcast by a long shot
The audio quality/mixing is great (considering that news might need and use some less than optimal sources).
The content is on point and the host Brad Mielke is excellent, if you are interested in US news and politics this is a broad podcast that cover the most important topics with a friendly format and great audio. However, whenever they need to swap hosts, you clearly see that this podcast works well because of the host. Alex doesn't have the same enthusiasm and energy as Brad.
A+
Cheers from Brazil :)
