NBC Nightly News with Tom Llamas - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Accurate information, strong & compelling news delivery and compassionate reporting when appropriate.

It is comforting to hear Lester’s voice, even when the world seems to have been taken over by insanity Lester is calm, and delivers the news with honesty and integrity. I am grateful for this podcast. Thank you for making the news available through this medium.

I have been a daily viewer for over a decade and appreciate the objective coverage and journalistic integrity. I will continue to make NBC Nightly News a part of my news viewing however I strongly encourage you to stop the ongoing coverage of the British royal family. It is neither newsworthy nor informative.

There are often audio issues, and ads will cut off the host in the middle of their sentence. It makes me think the podcast is just a shoddily put together afterthought.

This app does not allow you to removed played episodes from your device. While each episode takes up a very small amount the accumulated effect grows daily. At one time the played episodes reflected 8 months. Now I have delete the pod cast every 30 days to remove the episodes that have been played. They need to allow you to totally delete all episodes and/or save the one you want. I am currently looking for a better podcast for my daily broadcast news that is audio only.

While I like Lester Holt and the usually positive note the program leaves listeners with each night, there are two major issues that need to be resolved before I return to listening.

1) The podcast is often days late in updating. What good is a nightly news program four days later? This is not a rare issue.

2) The commercial breaks happen at very random moments. In television broadcasting and podcasts made for podcasting, breaks happen at the end of segments. For the Evening News there is no rhyme or reason. Breaks are always during a segment and very often in the middle of a sentence. This is incredibly frustrating as the breaks break up your train of thought and disrupt the power of the story.
