“While informative to listen to, it would be great if there were less ads. Or if the ads must remain at their current amount, at least make the episodes longer. Two ads wouldn’t be so bad if the episodes had a roughly 6 minute run time and covered multiple stories. It’d also help if the ads were...”Read full review »

“An entire episode is only 50 seconds long with half of that being ads?”

“I used to love the AP News update podcast. Now that you have switched to single updates that are 30-60 seconds long I have to unsubscribe. First, this is exploding my “latest episodes list”, filling up the queue with a bunch of tiny updates. Secondly, I now need to listen to an ad in each one of...”Read full review »

“This used to be a fantastic way to receive news updates without the bias of the other networks, just the facts. But there are way too many sports bulletins now, i really don’t care about every MLB game that was played yesterday, and skipping these stories has become too time consuming. Then you...”Read full review »

“Such a nuance to have ads on EVERY SINGLE PODCAST. Such an extreme disruption when trying to catch up. Major turn off. Plus they’re saved at different volumes so the news is quiet and then the ads come SCREAMING at you, often in foreign languages! More often than not ads are three times longer...”Read full review »

“Sports used to be combined into one or two stories per day, but now every score is reported separately. It feels like there are as many sports stories as actual news stories. They should separate news and sports into different podcasts.”

“I really enjoy the quick overview of major news stories, but the ads make it almost unbearable. The same ad plays on repeat after every story, often at a higher volume. When most episodes are under 2 minutes, you’re reaching for the volume control incessantly and can repeat from memory the plot...”Read full review »

“I'm a liberal leftist, but even I see that the podcast is very biased. Podcasts hosts refer to women as "pregnant people." It sounds dehumanizing and overly clinical towards my gender. Why are they afraid to say the word "woman?"”Read full review »

“Glad that the ads are at the end; makes it easy to skip them without missing any story.
And I appreciated the short, straight-forward, non-redundant stories, unlike what I get from hourly-updated newscasts.
However, the stories crossed the final line for me today. I’ve tried to overlook the...”Read full review »

“Volume levels need adjusting. Ads are MUCH louder than the news.
Podcasts are too short and require a lot of work and attention to skip ads and play the next story.”

“I really wanted to like this, but there is usually an ad at the end of every episode that’s longer than the story itself. Of course you can skip them but if you’re in the car of busy and you’re trying to listen to a bunch of these in a row, it’s not worth it. I suggest combining them into an...”Read full review »

I have been fairly consistently disappointed in the biased reporting of...”Read full review »

“Change the play speed to 1.5x and this is a great way to catch the highlights of what is happening in the world. The AP remains one of a handful of non-partisan and professional news agencies.”

I set up my player to read them all continuously so I don’t have to keep pressing play. I prefer this format to the AP Headlines podcast which repeats...”Read full review »

“Listened to their news summary’s every day for over a year, but recently they have implemented 30 second adds in nearly every episode, meaning an add is thrown at you every minute. This podcast news is now entirely unusable to me and I’m switching off. I don’t mind some adds, I understand they’re...”Read full review »

“Possibly the most informative and concise news podcast I’m aware of. Sadly, the new advertisements are so poorly implemented that, between the loud and repetitive ads, and the constantly duplicated stories, I’ve put the whole podcast on hold.”

“This has been my main news on my iPod for years. I like that it doesn’t shove an opinion down my throat. It just gives a news story in a few minutes. Nicely done!!!!
It hasn’t updated in a few weeks. I hope the podcast comes back.”

“These are the same audio news stories you can hear on AP Radio News online, in the AP app, and in local radio newscasts around the country. This feed refreshes with new stories throughout the day, and each one is about a minute long. The AP does a great job, and I check their stories daily....”Read full review »

Eliminate the ads and it will be a great podcast.”
