What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

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.

J.D. M · Dec 2022

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.

Jraeme · Jan 2021

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

BeAwesome! · May 2020

I appreciate this podcast so much as a regular watcher of NBC evening news. It’s a great way to catch it if I happen to miss it on TV.

RunnerKDB · Apr 2022

I respect NBC for providing dependable fact based news, but poor podcast production is unbearable. There are randomly placed commercials, the same ads repeated over and over, and many days are not available . The program will be mid-sentence on life or death story and cut to advertisements. Cheap ploy that seems pretty juvenile for network with such a rich tradition of excellence. Save yourself stress and listen to another reliable network news. CBS Evening News doesn’t have these problems.

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.
