Great effective news compilation

I only wish they focused more on big world news stories.

Also a pet peeve: I am very tired of hearing Luke Vargas pronounce “Beijing” wrong. It seems he has to say that word at least once per week, and he puts a silly sound on the “j” that maybe is supposed to sound more authentically Chinese but actually takes him FURTHER from the real and simple pronunciation of “Beijing” in Chinese. Someone needs to coach him so I can stop hearing him say it wrong.

ICC

Who has signed this statute? Who is this group? Its very very troubling??? Why are you giving a platform to this? Oh my word. This report is junk. Please realize we are not all listening to your rhetoric and one sided reporting. Please go back to reporting truth without opinion. News was supposed to be facts. Who has even heard of ICC? Why should we care about them? Ridiculous

Eddo's IPOD ,

A bit like NPR

Not as much left leaning as NPR , but presented like an NPR report . Very little insight provided just news you can obtain anywhere else . Nothing special here . And stop reporting about Trump court cases we want business news not partisan Trump news .
