What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I really wanna hear the news on what’s going on with this case but there are so many ads that you get about five minutes of information and the rest is ads. Also, the host makes everything so dramatic.

Ms. Bella Beagle · Jul 2025

The material is good but it’s hardly worth listening to in 5,6,7 minute segments, which are further interrupted with long advertisements. I won’t bother listening again. The sad part is that it could be a good podcast.
