The DSR Daily - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Clear and accurate. Really keeps you informed. Show notes let you dig deeper into whatever interests you.

Much better than typical news podcasts because it covers a lot, quickly.

Perfect!

The DSR Daily Brief podcast provides listeners with an overview of breaking international news using bite-sized blurbs pulled from the headlines. Episodes rarely exceed 10 headlines or go over 10 minutes and usually end with “on a lighter note” story. For those interested in more in-depth coverage beyond the headlines, the DSR DB includes links to the complete stories, using dozens of trusted international news sources like the BBC, AP News, Germany’s Deutsche Welle, Al Jazeera, Reuters, UPI, NYT, NPR, and Politico. In my opinion, providing these links serves as a critical tool in helping build awareness of alternative, international, and independent news sources outside of the usual mainstream American media sources.

While Grant or Chris will occasionally - very, very rarely - offer their own thoughts on a particular story, these infrequent, short statements are educated and insightful, and are always preceded by the phrase “In my opinion,” so there is no confusion as to separation of facts and personal takes. Additionally, both Grant and Chris have the resumes to back up their opinions. When an opinion is shared, it is almost always an expression of concern that government leaders aren’t taking <insert scenario here> as seriously as they should.

In my opinion, this podcast is a great addition to any daily podcast lineup.

I first found DSR after the Ukraine invasion. And I didn’t expect it to be such a great news aggregator, thinking it was limited in focus. But I was wrong. It’s broadly focused. And does an excellent job of gathering and disseminating daily summaries that are professional and informative.

If I were forced to give up other news sources keeping this single show would be my choice.

Highly recommended.

Liking this new podcast—interesting to hear views from new (to me) speakers. Would like to hear more about their own backgrounds. I’m especially appreciative that they present information that is not excessively complex for me as a person interested in global politics, but not a professional.

Liked much better when it was a daily news bulletin without the unnecessary Rothkopf opinions and monitoring - I get that from other podcasts, so it isnt that i don't appreciate his pov, but why not leave this format alone?
