I listen every morning while I walk to the bus, it gives me a great primer to start my day.
CPR does top notch journalism, and this podcast is no exception. But, the hosts (and often the guests) way over enunciate and sound like they’re reading off of a script. Doesn’t work for a podcast. They need to work on developing a comfortable and conversational tone. Arlo is especially bad. Dude sounds like AI.

Plus I really enjoy to hosts; Arlo in particular often shares fun and interesting observations that make me smile. Great way to start my day!
This is not news, it’s opinion. They use loaded terms like “gun safety.” They’re also not accurate at all when it comes to subjects with which they aren’t already familiar as left-wing activists with an agenda.
