Customer Reviews
Overall a pretty good podcast
The music in between sections is a bit jarring to me but otherwise it’s a great news podcast👍🏼
Switched to the BBC for objective reporting
I have been listening to as it happens since the 70’s, and it was the highlight of my radio experience when I would drive for long distances through the prairies in the 90’s. However, it doesn’t appeal to me like it used to. It seems to be more negative and less fun, and embrace a ‘woke’ perspective - all are turnoffs. I think more positive, inspirational articles and less victim oriented storylines would improve this greatly. I subscribe, but really only listen to it a few times per year now.
Great podcast
The new host is not as good an interviewer as Carol Off. Hopefully she will improve over time.
