I have adored Monocle for years, however I have found its neutral, almost pro-Zionist coverage of the genocide in Gaza incredibly disappointing. I listen to The Briefing every morning and feel frustrated most days. I thought Monocle stood for more and wanted to see the world a better place.

I was fine with the pithy elitism of this show until it became interspersed with pro-Israeli propaganda regularly. I now find it abhorrent.

A bunch of layers trying to convince us.

Undisclosed percentage of the Monocle brand is owned by Nikkei Inc, which is said to be a”PR machine” for Japanese companies and admin. A private news media, no transparency.

Andrew muller’s monologues - and associated bruitages - have made me laugh so much, my neighbors now change sidewalks as they see me laugh-stumble up the road listening to this podcast. This radio show deserves an all the awards.

Awful review with Chris Can’t help themselves….. Love the ‘left’…. Iove Biden….hate Brexit and support the war in Ukraine no matter what!!!!

I have been listening to the podcast for over a year. It has always been biased, however, it seems it has become more of a propaganda media. Everyone who has some conservative views are portrayed as far right, while far lefts are portrayed as liberals. Different political beliefs are normal, lies...Read full review »

Like the globalist but that one works better in Asian time zone. Love it!!!

I’m a huge fan of this show. The production value is fantastic and each of the hosts does a fantastic job presenting the latest stories and probing the expert guests with relevant questions. Thanks Monocle!

If you are looking for a podcast which presents interesting topics and then destroys the discussion with pompous sixth-form comments, you’ve found the right one. The sardonic tone and bias of the host is obnoxious, and distracts from the substantive material. I think that I will stick to the FT.

Very well produced, love the presenter and his voice, funny at times, like channel four news if it was a podcast and a longer version of The Economist’s Intelligence podcast.

Informative and intelligent. I am a big fan of Andrew Mueller. He is very informative and also very very funny. I learn and laugh. Highly recommended.

I love Thursday for the sass during the Global Music countdown.

The reporters on this podcast are extremely biased against conservatism and routinely personally insult conservative politicians and conservative people. The perspective on European politics is interesting, but the bias is very palpable.

Great source of daily news.

In this era of gloom and doom, it is refreshing, to listen to The Monocle. Andrew Mueller’s witty and insightful descriptions of today’s leaders can make the news just a bit more palatable. Thank you.

Informative podcasts but spoiled by constant interruptions re. alliance. Nik.

I would love to snuggle with Emma and have her whisper sweet politics into my ear! The only warm welcome that is legit warm!

The recent sponsorship by Alliance really upsets the the flow of the podcast. Especially the 1/2 time ad. I understand the ads are important but surely not at the risk of listenership.

A breath of fresh air in the world of news during the Corona crisis.

A wide range of expert voices & opinions, not always in agreement with each other. Regular hosts but not always the same person. Well delivered and an hour of my time well spent daily.

Interesting topics and insightful commentary

I’m a sucker for anything Monocle puts out, but this podcast definitely earned its spot. I listen to 4 regular daily news podcasts every day so the prospect of making it 5 seemed unlikely. Not only does this show get into great detail, but the 1 hr typical duration is truly impressive for a daily...Read full review »

I really liked this podcast when it was half an hour; but a full hour daily is too much- especially when the last section is focused on pop music, not news.
jeremysw via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/19/19
By far my favourite news variety podcasts. I am liking the new longer format with Andrew Meuller.
Smartphoner via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/19/19
This podcast consistently provides high entertainment value while being informative.
Frozennate via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/16/17
Best news roundup ever!
Ordeals mania via Apple Podcasts · Italy · 03/29/17
They loathe how Trump dominates the news headlines yet spend a good chunk talking about him. Not a days goes by without a Marie Le Pen reference as well. Otherwise, a decent podcast if you enjoy listening to the liberal elite slant on news.

I listen to many podcasts, and always prioritize Monocle 24 above all others. The magazine is superb and I find the brief very informative and I love the sense of humor of the hosts.

But you need to make sure you listen to this channel everyday because this channel upload almost every day. Or your phone's space will be fulled.Read full review »

If you listen carefully to how they spin issues, The Briefing is an upmarket version of Russia Today.

Not any more useful than reading headlines on your phone while taking a dump. Sorry, but there isn't much that is fresh about this podcast's perspective, imo.Read full review »
