What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I am a fan of Andrew and this show is coming along, but it is poorly edited. It’s good to remove some dead air for pacing purposes, but not all of it. The conversations are way too fast paced and feel overwhelming to listen to. Silence is a natural part of human conversation and removing all of it creates a jarring effect. The rules for editing short clips are much different than editing long form podcasts. I’d encourage the team to take a more conventional approach to editing podcasts and leave in dead air where appropriate.

Slish* · Aug 2026

While I was only introduced to Channel 5 about 2 years ago, over that period Andrew and his team have consistently produced some of the most fascinating journalistic content I've seen from even the Pulitzer heavyweights. 5 may not have the pull of the big guys but they're scrappy and clearly passionate about the topics they choose to cover. Whether they are topics with global impact or just niche local interest stories, Andrew always seems to bring with the same rigorous care, objectivity, diligence, and integrity to the project (plenty of humor and levity as well). It's refreshing stuff, highly recommend to all.

JRoobz · Aug 2026

Just started listening to 5CAST and I am really enjoying Andrew’s presentation. He methodically breaks down complex topics and builds a case with objective evidence. He then delivers the information in a very engaging and entertaining dialogue.

I love the reporting on different topics that many other news sources would be afraid to touch. Thanks for being amazing source of independent news
