“All of the hosts of this show are fantastic, and I sincerely do not understand other’s criticism of Ifeoma Dike. Her presentation and reading are professional and it is a GOOD quality to have a diverse set of presenters and inflections. Love everything about this pod, from the hosts to the top...”Read full review »

“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.”

“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...”Read full review »

“I am impressed by app’s weekday 5 Things, and weekend 5 Good Things and One Thing programs. 5 Things’ editorial stance is balanced, and the show is delivered with an optimistic tone. On Saturdays, 5 Good Things provides a welcome break from the challenges and threats in the news. And on Sundays,...”Read full review »

“Ifeoma’s voice is lovely but as other reviewers have noted, her reading needs serious improvement. She places pauses and inflections in odd places and the sentences don’t flow well at all. It’s so distracting that I’m finally unfollowing this show. It’s a shame.”

“I love this podcast, but I find myself wanting to skip every episode hosted by Ifeoma Dike. Her copy reading is not up to par with a show that is this polished. I wish CNN would find someone else to read for her or that she would get more training to help her sound more professional.”

“I had stopped listening to 5 Things here and elsewhere because inserting ads part way through a podcast that is LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES long is just insulting and abusive.
To be clear, I am fine with ads to support a program, but only within reason. INTERRUPTING such a short one is the epitome...”Read full review »

To be given too much information, and not being able to see limits what I could glean from a television screen. I trust CNN. I like the encapsulation. In less...”Read full review »

“I’ve listened to this podcast for a while. It is decent but my main issue is the podcast will pick one ad and replay it for every episode on repeat for weeks on end. With several episodes it gets mind numbingly annoying hearing the “Doctor Downtime” commercial.”

“They give outstanding daily updates several important times daily. They go in deep on Sunday mornings on important subjects. And they go into extra detail when it is necessary. I give them a 10 plus rating. Add them to your library.

“Given everything happening in the world, how can the Trump indictment and climate change stories be in the “top 5 things you need to know” every freaking day!?!? CNN used to be objective news, but today it is clearly pushing a left wing agenda. As a moderate, I find it really annoying.”

“With only 4 1/2 minutes they should avoid repeating the same story several updates in a row. Also the extra info they keep repeating is annoying such as telling us the “payments to a porn star are not against the law”. I probably heard that 10 times. Also, they need to make sure their hosts...”Read full review »
