Horrible inaccurate coverage of DOGE

Completely unworthy of you. Spouting the lies & completely inaccurate descriptions of the situation. Better no coverage than this. You are usually good.
Reliably Excellent

Lately, I’ve been on the lookout for a daily podcast that provides a concise overview of the day’s most noteworthy events, and I’ve found FT News Briefing to be one of the most dependable. The delivery is direct and unimpassioned. It’s good!
Not worth it

I’m an FT subscriber and decided to part ways with this podcast. I’ve listened to this podcast since its start back in 2018. I used to enjoy it. However, over the years, I found it to be increasingly disappointing. I think the story choices are poor – there is too much slanted American political coverage. I want news about markets, industries, and the macroeconomy. Also, I’ve never really liked the various hosts for the podcast. They come across as inexperienced and unserious. Their scripting is bad, which is only compounded by the hosts’ childish deliveries.
Split Swamp Notes into its own

Swamp Notes would be better off as its own podcast, essentially a US Political Fix, rather than be nested in News Briefing. News Briefing is ephemeral and daily. If you miss a day you likely won’t go back and will just pick up tomorrow. Swamp Notes, being weekly, one might not listen to on the exact day it came out. The way one can organize podcasts to auto-delete to reduce clutter makes this somewhat incompatible and it would be solved by simply not being a podcast-within-a-podcast.
