Would subscribe but

JC is the man and I love checkpoint but the way it's chopped completely spams my feed and gets in the way. Would prefer just the whole programme tbh.

Poor production value, background noise.

Despite txting in to let the studio know that we can here Lisa typing on her keyboard while the news reader does the headlines, which is terribly distracting, they choose not to make any changes. Catch ya later 👋

Communication perhaps ❣️

Could one please request a personal podcast from you , one only me could hear ..
or does it have to be raining ?
