Customer Reviews
Ukzuz
Weekend podcast is great but please stop adding the pop culture episodes in the weekend podcast. Pop culture podcast is dreadful. It’s not journalism, it’s not well researched, there is no depth. If I want to listen about how nice Rihanna is I can go on YouTube.
An eclectic mix!
Just like newspaper you’ll find some articles you love and some you are not so interested in.
I mostly listen to the all but occasionally skip the ones less appealing to me.
Overall great content which have introduced me to some topics and people I may not have chosen.
Given it a go and pause a bit before you skip a chapter.
