Panda🌺✨🍪🍦 · Sep 2024

Concise delivery about American politics and topics. Democratic leaning..but what news source is wholly unbiased? Overall, a good listen to catch me up on major news in the mornings for when I’m on a time crunch. Thanks NYT.

dumptrumpuwu · Aug 2024

Varied content and expert journalistic brief explanation. As opposed to another review, I am not looking for light-hearted entertainment from this source. I appreciate the seriousness and relevance.

hubba_whaaat · Aug 2024

This is the show I didn’t know I wanted, but now that it’s here I can’t imagine not having it. Great stories, well-balanced, tight and to the point. The perfect quick hit of news to start the day, with just the right balance of breadth and depth. Awesome!

Nivi · Aug 2024

This show leans pretty far to left, and you’ll have to look elsewhere if you want a balanced, objective perspective. Case in point: on the 9 Sept 2024 show, when discussing the Memphis shooting, they mention the race of the victim but not the cops, then go on to make the absurd suggestion that the traffic stop might not have happened if a Republican TN lawmaker had acted differently…what?? It’s laughable how brazenly they show their bias.
