Kundenrezensionen
Happy pod not happy
I rely on this news source a lot despite the obvious-inobviousness of naming certain forms of discrimination like anti-queer hate. Still appreciate the good work of fact checking and being on spots where things happen.
But the new addition, the “happy pod”, makes me more frustrated than happy because most topics there are on a very different level to the usual political news. It would be great to hear mostly political “happy news” on this news source. This way it feels even more like “there are no real happy news on a global/political scale so we just scrap together whatever individually sentimental stories we find”.
Why the ads within the podcast?!?
Loved the quality of information to date - but the recent addition of ads within the podcast is super annoying. Ads at the start and end of the show weren’t enough?
Great international coverage
Amazing Podcast with much better international coverage than typical German media. Lokal Correspondence about everywhere.
