    Smug and Boring
    I listened to this for 15 minutes but that was all I could take. The number one thing that makes podcasting interesting and informative is when the broadcaster tries to see all sides of issues and has a sense of nuance. This show and the hosts are boring, self-referential, narcissistic, and smug, unfortunately typical for modern “progressives”. It could pass for satire it’s so bad.

    Great daily news podcast
    Great podcast covering the news with satisfying depth & breadth. But please stop booking Rebecca Tinsley - she’s torturous to listen to.

    Best news podcast
    Informative, very relevant global news, great interviews, and I love that the hosts have a sense of humor. I listen to all of the Monocle 24 podcasts and the magazine is superb!
  • .Joey.
    The best news podcast
    Great news curation! My day always gets a little better with Andrew and Emma
  • Carson K.
    Good on its own, brilliant when Emma Nelson and Andrew Mueller are hosting
    Emma Nelson and Andrew Mueller are the best presenting team I have heard since Sonia Deol and Henry Bonsu used to do the drive time news on BBC London and I can give no higher praise.
  • Noah Stephens
    Adding this to my news podcast regime.
    A worthy addition to my news podcast roster.
