Just enough news

I started listening during covid. This podcast is just enough to keep informed without a panic spiral!
Jane is a national treasure!

First, I love her voice. Secondly, her analyses are spot-on. Thirdly, her dry wit nails it! Huge fan!
The spark is gone

I’ve been listening since the show launched, and unfortunately the new format made me tune out. No shade to Jane, she’s a great host, but what is missing is the chemistry. The news is often a bummer, but the two-host format and silly and lighthearted segments made it easier to digest. Now it feels like all bummer, all the time. Please bring back the old format.
Embrace Change, Jane Is A Force Of Nature
12/29/2024
The two hosts that kicked off my love of daily WAD, Gideon Resnick (ORIGINAL SINGLE HOST) and Josie Duffy Rice, they allowed me to be able to breathe through the toughest news. The addition of Tre'vell Anderson and Priyanka Aribindi took a minute for me to adapt to, but eventually Priyanka became my favorite voice on the show. The recent change to a single host, the mighty Jane Coasten, also takes a moment to adapt to. But, she commands the news. Her short audio essays are powerful and give me the fight I need to make it through the day as the US drops further into everything I don’t want it to be. Thank you, Crooked, for bringing Jane on. I hope other listeners can have the patience it takes to adapt to change and hear the energy and insightful wit Jane brings to WAD.
