Customer Reviews
Podcast Quality Decreased
The files have been available so late, there’s no point in listening to most of the stories. Also, the audio editing is choppy. A segment often restarts midstream. It’s happened for several episodes now.
Only opinions no facts.
Why does CNN market itself as a news organization when it fails to report the truth?
Political hacks!
Good. But Why Is the Upload So Late?
I actually listen to this everyday and it's good. But i don't like that it takes like 4 hours at least to upload this. It's news after all. It used to be better but recently it feels like it takes a long time. Can please upload faster?
