Informative, IF posted within a decent timeframe

“Updated: 6-13-24 This show has a new, shorter format with a single host. I like the changes, it’s less of a “morning show” and more hard news. So for example, you don’t listen to find out which sandals are trending this summer, but to get election coverage or coverage of the wars in Ukraine and Gaza. Also the shorter format means you can listen to the whole thing in the time it takes to get ready in the morning, or while commuting. Basic coverage of all the major stories of the day. Some stories seem very one-sided though. I feel like their “analysts” are not very good, not actually very informed or analytical. Except the lawyer they have on, he’s pretty knowledgeable about American legal matters. Sometimes I wish instead of having two more neutral/moderate analysts, they would invite guests of two opposing viewpoints to give a contrasting opinion. Example: when they cover the war in Gaza, I’ve heard interviews w politicians, mostly of the same opinion, IDF spokespersons, Israeli citizens personally affected, but I have yet to see even one Arab/Muslim/Palestinian guest talking about this subject on their show. (Columbia prof Rashid Khaleedi for example, or Palestinian doctor and politician Mustafa Barghouti, or really anyone with a contrasting pov). Another option would be a liberal non-Arab American like Bernie Sanders to come on the show to provide an opposing viewpoint. They do this with numerous topics, not just the Middle East. It honestly ends up feeling like you’re being fed a line. However, all that being said, for US morning news, it’s still my favorite podcast. It’s coverage is just way better than other morning news shows like Up First (NPR), Start Here (ABC), Morning Joe (MSNBC I think), etc.
The CNN podcast team is evidently still struggling as 7+ hours after this show aired on TV, the podcast is still not available in Apples podcast app. By this late in the day, that news is now old news and we all have moved on to more up-to-date coverage. Podcast team, do better.
Early 2024:
This podcast is more helpful than most other morning news podcasts I’ve listened to. It basically covers all the major news stories of the day. If you can just listen to the first 30 minutes you’ve gotten a good news summary. If you listen to it for full 90 minutes you’ll have gotten the weather and sports news as well. There is one major flaw in this podcast - it’s the showcast of a show that runs from 5-6:30am EST. Previously, they used to usually post the pod around 11-noon. So the news was already old, but still informative if you hadn’t gotten your news yet. But recently, the podcast won’t get posted until the afternoon or even later in the day- which completely misses the point of listening to a MORNING news podcast. By that time the news is very old, and there is better news coverage of the same stories on other pods. Today, for example, I’m writing this at 1:15pm EST and it still hasn’t been posted. CNN Podcast Team - Do better.”

“So you get rid of Don Lemon? Well you definitely have lost a viewer. I know it really doesn’t matter to a huge network but your diversity is really lacking. So yeah good luck! You all are going to need it.”

“He is very engaging and has the ability to put the show’s guests at ease with his self deprecating sense of humor. Hides a very sharp mind! Hope his hosting of the morning show becomes permanent!”
