A decent consolidation of topics but way too much rambling on especially with interviewed guests. Dismayed to hear the story on covid impact in India devolved quickly into and inward facing diatribe on impact to cricket of all things. Would be better advised to discuss what is being done to help India and their citizens deal with the crisis and forget cricket.
Where is the impartiality?

I am neither of the left or right but when I listen to this program everything seems to have subtle undertones of a leftist agenda. This bias on the ABC has to stop, it’s outrageous that tax payers fund this “neutral” broadcaster. I want to listen to a program that presents both side without sneaking in their own political leanings.
Single story podcast boo

Totally agree with other review! Put the stories together! Give us a news program 30 minuets 45, 60... whatever but 3 minuets turns me away to BBC and I want to listen to ABC! Love your coverage of your territory of the world! Make 2 stars 5! Lori in USA.

Sigh. The content of the ABC Radio Nation PM is exceptional - well considered reporting that blends Australian and international news. Unfortunately all this good effort is completely spoiled by remarkably inept podcast broadcasting. It seems there is some sort of prediliction towards splitting what is a single broadcast into each of the stories. I understand there may be some listeners who prefer a per-story broadcast, although for me, a single file to be downloaded is much easier to deal with and it's easier to see if I've heard the entire broadcast, rather than searching the dates of each story to see if I've heard all of it. To make matters dramatically worse, the ABC have somehow decided that blending a full broadcast, individual stories and the business news all into one stream is a bright idea! This is remarkably stupid, it makes automating retrieval almost impossible - it now requires digging through a list of broadcasts to find which are the full programs and which are the individual broadcasts. Gosh, this isn't that hard people: create one podcast for the combined programme, and one for the individual stories. This is no more effort than what is done now, and probably more automatable for the production side. Then provide two links.
