3 Girls 1 Newscast is a podcast about other news. As journalists we know news is important, but there is a whole world out there with lots of stories to be told. In our “headlines”, we explore a variety of topics ranging from politics, world news to human interest pieces, breaking some of those stories down. And finally “off the record” is a chance for us to be candid with our audience and share some of our highs and lows that week. Grab a drink, sit back, relax and listen to us chat like professionals.
