Where PBS News Hour - Segments ranks today in each Apple Podcasts chart (US, Sep 7, 2026).
A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
I appreciate their efforts to remain objective. There are times I can tell they’re less than thrilled about a political party, but again the effort is there and better than anything you’ll get on Fox or CNN. For that I applaud you.
The ads don’t bother me (cmon it’s PBS, let them do what it takes to stay alive. We need them). Overall I was happy to find a new source that covered the news in bite sized pieces.
The best part is if I don’t want to hear about the days politics or election news I can just skip that segment.
Great way to get informed without getting overwhelmed.

The PBS NewsHour will provide thorough, effective coverage of daily events as well as valuable dives into less obvious areas, issues, and works of art. I value it above any other daily news broadcast.

I love having this podcast separated into segments. I can look through my phone and delete the items I choose not to hear. Saves time. . It’s so much better than having to listen to the entire hour every day. Thank you!

There was a time public affairs programming was something that the FCC would require of the broadcast networks. News was a cost of doing business and it was good. It’s no wonder that news anchors became authoritative, trusted, household names like Walter Cronkite,
John Chancellor, Peter Jennings. The news wasn’t flawless but integrity wasn’t rare and facts held the day. Then came cable news, and news as a profit center that seeks ratings, and, with the web, clicks. If you’re looking for extreme positions, polarizing debate, or manufactured controversies, sadly you won’t find it here.
News as it should be.

Re-upping my semi-annual complaint. This podcast has been my go to source for news for years - great content - but the drastic uptick in ads over the last few weeks is making me question my listenership. I wouldn’t mind an ad or two per day, but they seem to be on every story now, even the 2-minute ones!
Peter K 0314 · Mar 2024
Oh, how we all miss Gwen Ifill. It seems that the public broadcasting station “News” program has allowed underwriters, mainstream orthodoxy, and pandering to inform and direct their practice of journalism.
In evaluating the disparate impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, has anyone on the team of journalists or the editorial board considered the impact of income inequality or poverty on health inequities and outcome disparities? The data is there and it is quite clear if you choose to look.
Unfortunately, partisan hackery and appealing to division has become the new trope of the NewsHour. Very disappointing for a program that at one time could be reasonably counted on to provide a relatively fair and objective summary of issues faced by the nation.
Characterizing the President as “throwing red meat to the base” when he hammers away at talking points is not only corrosive and divisive, but is also irresponsible for an institution that was once considered “The Fourth Estate.”
