My daily friend
I started with this podcast when it was daily corona virus update with another host but I am still listening and it brings joy to my daily life with all the all around news and updates. I wasn’t sure how much I liked it when hosts changed but I honestly can’t imagine the podcast without Jackson. Th…

Very up to date and informative podcast well sourced Fast forward through the ads if you don’t like them. So what. Just the right mix of medical data and layman’s terms. Well done!

What the heck!
Quit complaining about the host’s voice. Sped up the volume or slow it down if it’s too nasally or fast speed. YOU can adjust! Be grateful that this program shifts through many many hours to condense info for easy listening in a few minutes. Complain when you pay for something! This is free and so …

Love this podcast
Since the Coronavirus began I’ve been listening to this podcast for my daily update on corona news, along with a few others . This one quickly became my favorite. I was a little freaked earlier this week when it was gone (or so I thought) Luckily it was just a name change. I’m liking the additi…

Fantastic podcast
I love this podcast. It’s consistently got the best information about COVID and distilled a ton of information into as little time as possible. I don’t mind the changes to include good news. I would be fine with just having a shorter podcast and skipping the good news, but it turns out that’s not …

My need is for your forward-looking COVID reporting
I still love this podcast but may listen less frequently if there’s too much non COVID news. Tuesday 5/12 podcast was still good (only ‘good news’ was cape honey bee story which was interesting, short and sweet - pun intended) but 5/11’s podcast not so much

New Changes
While I totally understand the decision to include some positivity at the end of the episodes now, I do wish the podcast released in the morning still. It was part of my daily routine and now that it doesn’t post until the afternoon it is much harder to schedule in and make time. Hope you can bring…

Valuable Podcast / Annoying Voice
I listen to this podcast but do not like, at all, the narrator’s voice.
- BaileyCookie

Content is more important than voice timbre!
This is in a response to a previous reviewer- the complaint of a “nasal” voice I think is for an occasional host, not the usual one now. I don’t want to name names or complain about something that the speaker cannot control. The nasal speaker is one of the writers/editors of the podcast and this po…

Trapped in this house
Real quick update: one thing I hate about the ads in this podcast? Talk space therapy as where he says “match with your PERFECT THERAPIST”. As a therapist in substance abuse, It is a fact that there is no such thing as “your perfect therapist”. Reason? We are all people. People will never be perfec…

Just the facts
I’ve listened to this podcast for several weeks, and then listened to one by a major news network to compare. The news network had a lot of finger pointing, & blaming in their stories. This podcast, while I wouldn’t call it optimistic, is very forward focused. I appreciate the updates on what w…

Best curated news summary on the coronavirus pandemic I have found
First review for me. I listen to tons of podcasts but rarely review (I don’t think I ever have but admit I could be wrong). I am a physician at high risk for infection and death based on specialty. This is informative and educational. It is timely in that it gives you an accurate picture of the…

Very Good except for Today
I agree with all the reviews that talk about this podcast being non bias and factual reporting that highlights what is helpful, not what is sensationalized. However, today, Saturday March 29 sounded like one who is suppose to be reporting taking the opportunity to solve the problem. Reporters real…

Fact in an era of unmitigated totalitarian spin. This is also a critical part of the historical record. Could not be more important right now. Quick and easy digestible.

Thorough & Objective Reporting

I am so grateful for this podcast. Without it, I was falling deep down the media rabbit hole and refreshing my browser every 10 minutes (which was actually not quick enough).

Remarkable
This is journalism at its finest. We sit each afternoon to listen to it as we shelter in place. I am a physician looking at the coming tsunami, trying to understand what is happening an how we managed to get here. This report is human, objective, and riveting.

Apolitical and Factual
This podcast covers daily news concerning COVID-19 in roughly 20-30 minutes. It is apolitical and solely covers the facts of the developing virus domestic and abroad. A great source if you need a brief overview of COVID-19 Monday-Friday.

For the Seattle doctor episode-they’re saying not everyone who has a concern needs to have a test.
