Customer Reviews
Love the bits of discussion
Love the bits of discussion, wish there was more of an emphasis on discussing the news that gets brought up and less on reading stories. Though the readings are done really well, the conversations you all have on the topics are make this great to listen too and better than just reading the website.
Better than Northwestern’s Pod
Leaves me at a loss for words. Much better than Northwestern’s podcast. Sad!
A learning experience
A chance to keep track of campus news in audio form.
