Great reporting and great range of topics
I love this podcast because it not only brings different perspectives on current news stories but also because I get to hear about issues I wouldn’t otherwise hear about. And reallu great news about winning the award - well deserved and congratulations!
Pandemic scam
I was very surprised not to hear the simple clear advice to NEVER NEVER NEVER click on anything contained in an email or message that comes from an unknown sender. And if it’s from a known source, just give them a call. No bank or company will ever send you a text message asking for your details! You don’t need to ask anyone, it will just be a scam, it can be nothing else. Just DON’T RESPOND. I think that is a really important message that was missed.
Worth listen every long read!
I follow Today in focus podcast since long time. I do listen for their good and honest journalism. I absolutely loved the Freshwater mini serie, I think it is the right format this podcast should head to. My thank you to all the Today in focus team.
