Format 5 Ifeoma 1

I love this format, but the word is ASK not axe. I find myself wanting to skip Ifeoma Dike’s episodes. It’s not just that word but so many inflections that are distracting.

Great news and great hosts

The goat story really brightened my day! Thanks for spreading the good news! The hosts are so funny!

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.
