I’m disappointed that the show has been cancelled. I liked the previous host a lot, he was always very personable in his reporting. Now that he’s gone, it’s sorta become your typical “news of the day” podcast. And now it’s over 😕
Loved this show

Too bad it was eaten by the traditional "news of the day"... NEXT DRAFT is interesting too
Excellent show with the highlights you need to know, when you can get it

I like to start my mornings off listening to this because it catches me up on what I may have missed the day before. It’s just short enough and meaningful enough that it doesn’t take away from my normal daily news consumption and catches me up on the days that I can’t consume the news that’s happening. My only critique, which is why I give four stars, is that it’s not really the “daily 202.” It’s the “weekday 202.” And some days the podcasts don’t show up during the weekdays so it’s the “mostly weekday 202,” if we’re being completely accurate. Which the post always strives to be. Also, +1 for Arjun.
The perfect news headlines podcast

It hits the sweet spot. Not too short, not too long. I am disappointed that it is being cancelled.
