CN Oz ,

More Linda is a good thing!

Sometimes the 24-Hour news cycle is simply too much to absorb. Linda has a soothing, knowing voice that sets the tone for what is a very nice, somewhat removed perspective on some of the key issues of a given week. Think of it as “Insiders” with David Speers for the aural medium with some non-political important issues to complement what is always her great political news. A very welcome addition to ABC podcasts.
