Customer Reviews
Thank you!
Information is power. The more we can understand, the better we are equipped to handle complex issues.
This news report is based on scientific studies, unbiased and not sensationalizing.
A great and powerful alternative to regular news, the latter causing a lot of stress.
Thank you !
good for summaries; beware any pontificating
at its best when summarizing the daily news. the host occasionally tries to draw conclusions or form opinions, though, at which point you have to remember that he does not have the expertise and really shouldn’t be doing so.
also has more ads per minute than pretty much any coronavirus podcast i’ve listened to
Clear presentation.
Succinct. Clearly presented. Gives sources/references of information.
Focus towards US with other counties used to compare to US.
