Customer Reviews
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.
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 .
Hamas propaganda
I admit that the show is informative on the US economy. But, as far as Gaza war is concerned, it is pure, albeit polite, Hamas propaganda. Hamas, a terrorist organization according to the US, is presented cute and cuddly. Whatever happens, it is the fault of Israel.
