Customer Reviews
Like News Used To Be
I feel educated about a topic after listening to this podcast. Not outraged or sad or despondent. It’s like going 20 years back in time, but right now.
Old time reporting doesn't mix with modern day delivery.
The info is solid & the reporting is sound. But by god do these people need to work on writing a script before they hit record. So many needless "umms" make each episode feel like it could literally wrapped up in be 5 minutes! I wish they would just hire younger people to read the articles by the writers because it nearly puts me to sleep. Super unprofessional & really disappointing coming from the same folks that do such a good job keeping me informed.
Very good news podcast
Really enjoy this look at Colorado news from the Sun. It’s one of the few independent news sources to trust.
