The benefits of a non commercial news service
Living in the US as many of the BBC Podcast listeners do, I find it amazing at the lack of quality news programs. I like many, miss the BBC and the challenging methods it inflicts on it's guests. I believe that this demonstrates clearly the difference between a news service which is commercially motivated verses a news service which is not. On several occasions I've had the chance to interview US reporters and have put this question to them. The responses have always been the same. Should a US news service wish to continue to receive invitations to the important briefings and interviews, then it had better ensure that it does not ruffle any feathers. Let's hope the institution of the BBC continues for a long time and continues to ruffle feathers, and what’s more important, let’s hope that other countries follow suit.Read full review »

A really good way to start the day. The best bits of a very good program in a small bite-sized package. Thoroughly recommended.

This podcast feels like a series of introductions with no meat.

This was 5 star in terms of content. However, it seems to have increased the number of ads for other bbc programming. It’s becoming rather irritating and repetitive. A shame, as I used to enjoy listening to a weeks worth of pods.
