This is one of my favorite podcasts and I've been listening to it every morning for over 4 years. Say there are many amazing traits to the show, but above all, it’s amazing because of its brevity, positivity, and political neutrality (which is very hard to find in the news)

I’ve been a loyal listener for nearly two years. I’ve noticed over the last year the biases have been more apparent in what news stories are selected. And even the inflection in her voice when speaking on certain topics or people. I’ve recently been listening to more Straight Arrow news (also unbiased) which revealed how much underlying biases are present in Erika’s newscast.
Amanda12lea · Aug 2026
I have been listening to this show for many years. So refreshing to find a news channel that was actually fair and gave a report on both sides of whatever argument. However in the last 2years there has been a notable shift to the left. I am an independent- which is why I liked this show because I just want to hear the facts not political opinions. But now I can hear/feel the negative tones and slants towards our current administration- not sure what happened in your content writing- but I would like to hear a more fair approach. I’m just one loyal daily listener so my opinion might not matter in the grand scheme of things- but I am someone who has shared this show with many people. But lately I have had a hard time listening to the episodes. Makes me sad to discontinue listening.
