What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This show has recently replaced my other “rapid fire” morning news shows to bring me up to speed on what’s happening and what I need to know! It’s my first listen in the morning.

chriscw72 · Aug 2026

I absolutely love this podcast and it is the only news format that cannot be missed on a daily basis. The wit makes it all so much easier to endure. However, my only beef, or dislike, is that it’s too damn short! C’mon Sami, can’t you just give us a few more minutes. I so look forward to it every day, she says everything I’d like to say and to start the day off knowing that someone out there gets it is a wonderful feeling.

i am.james · Jun 2026

5 stars, hands down. The way Sami blends bite-sized news stories with sarcasm and snark is what millennial dreams are made of.

AmyOliver22 · May 2026

Perfect way to start the morning! It’s just enough info to be informed but not overwhelmed. I LOVE when it’s released before 6am 🙌🏻

Robin_Mae · Apr 2026

Such a weird podcast for news. They're loud and proud of holding a specific bias, which makes this podcast an untrustworthy listen. To be an honest source means you hold EVERYONE to the same standard. But that’s too difficult to do I guess. Avoid if you're looking for news. Listen if you want to hear them constantly bash one side of politics.
