All great….well mostly

I really enjoy and appreciate the efficient and (usually) fair roundup of the news, I listen to news from several sources and CNN usually hits all out at least most of the stories that are immediately relevant. I want to give it five stars, BUT Ifeoma Dike hosts so many of the episodes and she speaks with odd unnecessary pauses in the middle of her sentences which I find completely distracting and hard to listen to.

High Quality Weekday and Weekend Programs

I am impressed by app’s weekday 5 Things, and weekend 5 Good Things and One Thing programs. 5 Things’ editorial stance is balanced, and the show is delivered with an optimistic tone. On Saturdays, 5 Good Things provides a welcome break from the challenges and threats in the news. And on Sundays, One Thing is thoughtful and respects the listener’s intellect.
