Reviews
Even if I didn’t agree with every position the hosts talked about, I still enjoyed listening to it everyday. I believe there are a lot of negative reviews because people didn’t like the change from the previous format that I’m not familiar with.

Just no. No no no no no no no. Hard pass for me 👎 Even the ads are extra annoying. Also why do they need to bring up vaccines and politics? Isn’t this supposed to be pop culture? I come here for an escape. I could care less which side you’re on. I don’t want to listen to rhetoric from either...Read full review »

This used to be a great news and headlines podcast. They've now shortened it to include a few headlines at the beginning of the show, and fill 90% of the episode talking to a guest about an arbitrary topic. I miss the podcast when it was just news.Read full review »

I used to love this podcast when it was called Impeachment Today and then News O’clock hosted by Hayes Brown. But once Hayes left and Casey Rackham took over it seems like the show has gone downhill. It seems like Casey has a certain agenda she wants to promote, and it’s either you agree with her...Read full review »

I usually like to read buzzfeed online but this show either needs new hosts or has to go. Hosts Rackham and LaConte simply pander to the audience for so-called “injustices.” Take the Sha’Carri Richardson segment on 7/2 as an example. While I do feel feel bad for her for testing positive for THC...Read full review »

Show was very good during the pandemic the change and host has made this show very very white now very sad because it was a really good show. 👎🏾
ak_92 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/10/21
Has helped me get through the pandemic. Really fun but also surprisingly insightful news. I love that it becomes available around five and sums up the day. I love the two host’s chemistry. Thanks again for a bright spot in a hard time! Update ever since that host went away it has gone downhill....Read full review »

I one-hundred percent agree with what was said about the Lil Naz X music video, but I do think that they were a bit insensitive about religion. They were basically saying that people’s religious beliefs were invalid instead of just talking about certain flaws.

I loved this podcast as News o’clock with Hayes, but right now I think there’s too much emphasis on pop culture and I don’t get the daily dose of relevant news I first loved about this podcast. And also now there’s no impartiality when news are reported, its more what the hosts think about what’s...Read full review »

I really like this podcast, it’s nice and refreshing. But it’s lacking some deeper interactions. It upset me when one host didn’t watch the “Promising young women” film and still commented on it, seemed odd to me but i let it pass. But on this Taylor Swift (as addressed in the title) vs Netflix...Read full review »

Uneducated and banal commentary. Total drivel that is meant to entertain the very basic masses. Not intended for an intelligent audience.
AAT78 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/28/21
It is super fun and light hearted. It’s the perfect listen on my commute home from work each day. I don’t think things are 100% fact checked but it’s purpose isn’t to be academic.
Brittanymcbriterson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/21/21
I started listening to this feed thanks to Impeachment today, then for News O’clock, but now it’s switched to just talking about internet and entertainment. It’s unfortunate, but true to Buzzfeed branding, so it is understood.
Dihce via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/16/21
From Impeachment, to News O’clock to now BuzzFeed Daily... I love this podcast. Hayes started a legacy and Casey has done nothing but carry it on. The dynamic duo of Casey and Zach bring an energy that’s unmatched. I love their take on social topics.
WorstYearEver via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/11/21
I first listened to this feed to hear about impeachment from Hayes. I was excited when it came back as News O’clock, as it still kept me updated on political and other news. Now it feels like a bait and switch as buzzfeed daily. It’s just pop culture and gossip from Tik Tok. I didn’t sign up for...Read full review »

Not very impressed by their stock analyst that apparently doesn’t know anything about stocks, how the market works, or a short squeeze. Really need more research for their episodes to make it thought provoking.
Greatappgetit via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/29/21
I had to change my review. I used to love this podcast. It was smart and funny. It recently changed. An obvious change. It almost feels... bougie now. The hosts are getting too personal, the stories are suddenly watered down, and sadly, it’s losing my interest.
Comixboy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/28/21
Loved listening to this podcast to catch me up on the news of the day in a fun way and with some extra popculture bits. Now it’s just popculture, it’s not the same.
UCLABruinette via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/22/21
Meh
I will echo all the recent reviews and say how much I miss the harder news subjects. Like with the siege on the capitol, I was expecting them to return to their news segments. Typical liberal white people who decide to turn the news off when they’ve heard enough or when things get “tough”. Sorry...Read full review »

I started with this when it was impeachment today, then it was migrated into News o’clock. I have since moved over to What A Day for my actual new stories because this is pure fluff. It’s interesting and a way to keep up with pop culture but it is not the news it used to be. Losing Hayes changed...Read full review »

Used to be a good balance of mainstream and pop culture/entertainment news - this has now been cut down to entertainment news only. Bring back Hayes Brown.
banoare via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/19/21
If you like your news as if it is being delivered by a 13 year old trying to make a viral TikTok video, then this podcast is for you. Otherwise, I would suggest one of the many other good news podcasts instead of this one.
abramjacob via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/15/21
Thanks for the updates on the dumpster fire of the US right now!
Xjejwnenenar via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/15/21
I love this podcast! It’s such a fun round up of each day and I love the hosts’ banter with each other. It really appreciate that such a big company like Buzzfeed has a daily podcast with two LGBT hosts!
alixhami via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/11/21
This podcast started as a daily impeachment pod, then I loved when they changed it to half news and half pop culture, but now that’s it’s just pop culture, they’ve lost a big audience who wanted to hear a LGBTQ+ take on the news. Looking for a new news podcast.
TheMadTaper via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/06/21
I loved the balance of news and pop culture News O’Clock provided. It seems with the new year and new branding the podcast is weighted heavily to just pop culture. It’s not my cup of tea but I this doesn’t not mean the podcast is not well done. Kudos to you guys but I will forever miss the, in my...Read full review »
tylersmif via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/06/21
I had enjoyed this podcast a fair bit in the past. It was a quick summary of news for the day mixed with some lighthearted looks at things happening in pop culture. At the start of 2021, the show has been changed (for the second time since I subscribed) ditching the news segment. Being that the...Read full review »
Greg M 📷 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/05/21
This show started strong when Hayes led this show on the impeachment. He was thoughtful, funny, challenging of those in power, and interesting. It started to shift to random celebrity gossip, while still enjoyable, not distracting from the original point of the podcast. Bringing the actual news...Read full review »

This show is a good balance of news and pop culture. They have good takes. And I like how much they enjoy diapering information. If they are faking, liking each other, they are real good at it. I miss Haze. But so far so good. Good for an after work re-up on the way home so you at least know what...Read full review »

A fun upbeat option for quick daily news. Without Hayes it kind of falls into hit or miss for me.
Wickedcellist via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/19/20
I love this show. Hayes and Casey are so smart and funny. A great way to get news and analysis. Where’s Hayes??? I miss him!

Amateur hour. Breathe through your mouth not your nose for starters.
bluemeanieface via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/12/20
I started listening to this podcast when it was about the impeachment, and when they rebranded and added a cohost it went from fun and informative to derailed and semi informative. Please regain some focus! Get rid of the pop culture nonsense, or at least reduce it. That said, this podcast is...Read full review »

I really love this podcast. I want both hosts to be my friends! Great work.
T_to_the_e via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/15/20
Listened to one and only podcast with Governor Whitmer. Nice scripted soft questions for her. You call yourself a news podcast? Should’ve Asked her how she feels about being charged with multiple counts of homicide for putting infected patients in nursing homes.

I like this daily podcast Tough times right now. Helps to have a podcast like this to listen to.
e85gal via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/29/20
When this show was Impeachment Today, I was hooked. I listened every day. It was insightful, it was fun, and it was probably the best impechment news podcast available. Now... Hayes, I love you dude. You're great, and you could and should do the show without Casey. There is almost no...Read full review »

Randomly started listening to this podcast and I LOVE the hosts. Nice listening to fun, diverse hosts - not so common in the podcast or news world. However I couldn’t believe the way they covered the Ellen show scandal, talking about the toxic work culture when that’s what buzzfeed is known...Read full review »
OldHaeg via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/05/20
Would be nice to listen to some light news without having to fish through all the propaganda 🙄 we have enough news talking about politics & Covid. Listened to 10 min of propaganda hoping to hear about the “Ellen employees speak out” to basically hear “some had good experiences some did not”...Read full review »

This show is a great way to keep updated on the dizzying news cycle. It is the perfect length, with a great balance of succinct reporting and funny/important commentary. It is also a great way to end my day and transition into the evening while working from home. Keep up the good work!
emjensen920 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/21/20
They do a good job finding ways to keep some humor in the news while still informing. Helpful when all other news I listen to makes me sink into a deep depression.

A whole lot of twists and spin...
