Customer Reviews
Good show but the new host?
Part of my daily morning routine but the low energy of the fill-in host has me worried about its future. I’m sure she’s a great writer and fine as a reporter for a single story but is not a host. Also the show’s “make assumptions” ad triggers cringe so quickly I might get in a car accident reaching for the skip button
Good, could be great
They do a great job picking out local stories and items that impact most San Diegans. The show loves arts segments, they have one almost every episode, I choose to fast forward on most cases. Otherwise, it’s a great morning update about what’s happening in San Diego.
Finally San Diego news
Every morning I listen to it and even better they don’t only pick stuff that gets you scared they do the opposite
