I have listened to this podcast several times and find it too far left.

The news part is good, but out of a 5 minute episode nearly 2 minutes of it is ads.

Quick, digestible, and informative. I kick off every morning with this while walking my dog and it does a great job keeping me in the know without being overwhelming.

Sami is regularly spreading misinformation on the current events in the Middle East. The only word for it is Zionism. Sami is complicit in gen0cide. 0/10.

Reporting and glorifying what the IDF commits while dismissing the war crimes and lies they committed is a huge disappointment. An integral part of news and journalism is being objective coverage with fair interpretation. Where is the headlines updating Palestinian children killed? Or the IDF...Read full review »

Not objective.

Do better… or just don’t do at all actually

Thought I might’ve found a morning airshow that wasn’t pushing an agenda, but I thought wrong. Very one-sided reporting from a whiny nihilist.
HumanReviewer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/21/23
Definitely has bias, but I think that could be said of most news podcast. I like the energy of the pod and it’s a nice quick way to start my morning and be a bit more informed on what’s going on
tagethompsonluvr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/07/23
Meh. It’s okay- too much bias. I get the comedy and puns but clearly some important news from the other side of politics is being ignored. Not a neutral stance on things news related.

the first thing i listen to in the morning. can’t miss !
mengfer89 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/01/23
This pod truly is quick, smart, and funny every day! Love Sami’s consistency and ability to simplify complex info for any type of listener. Add it to your news - it’s the first thing I turn on in the morning.
Wordanjeitzel via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/20/23
I feel so bad for the host that she is always so negative and angry. This must be a sad life to live and I hope that she finds happiness soon! Additionally, she clearly thinks that she is on SNL with her sad attempts at jokes, but is trying way too hard and will never be funny.
Jersey Girl 513 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/13/23
Thank you for making our weekdays awesome. Great job!
Chalie’sG via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/10/23
I can’t start my day without my dose of Samy! Keepin it real, giving me a quick start to chuckleville and my needed overview of the day’s happenings! Love this show!
Jserv87 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/17/23
I listen to this at the end of the day to digest all the headlines that are thrown around during the day. I love Sami’s tone and approach. She makes me feel less crazy. However, the new music is much less punchy and it makes the commentary less entertaining. I the fun music brought out the...Read full review »

This podcast is part of my morning ritual. I love how Sami keeps me informed and makes complex news digestible and sometimes even funny! Love everything Betches does.
Maryland Courtney via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/14/23
This is my first podcast I listen to every morning! Absolutely adore Sami and the content!
kylakadie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/12/23
Best way to start the morning! Love Sami, love this pod. (But please change the music back!)
j.cornella via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/11/23
I love these quick short and to the point episodes!
Doodlebug4567 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/31/23
My son (high school senior) and I listen on the way to drop him at school everyday. It’s a great way to start the day and spark conversation. The bite sized amount is a perfect breakfast news snack.
Virginiatravelgirl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/14/23
Within less then two minutes of listening, the host leftist ideology comes raging through as she can’t just give the news, but has to add her snarky, Karen, communist minded jabs. Not to mention it’s boring with no flavor. Don’t waist your time!
Jbica001 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/02/23
Morning Announcements is the perfect bite of government news I need each day Sami is fantastic at bringing the news of our governing body with a hint of smirks & smirth
antgeapena via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/30/23
I start my daily news podcasts with Morning Announcements because it is consistently available earlier than my other news podcasts and as an early riser, I appreciate that!
JoyEF via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/16/22
I love the morning announcements - I listen everyday and it keeps me informed and makes me LOL at least once per episode.
Ryanjsksndnsksj via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/14/22
I’ve been a fan of the Betches sup podcast for a while now, but this is a great addition. I love being able to start my day with the quick headlines without having to doom scroll through Twitter. This helps me stay informed!
lvhay4 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/09/22
Sami covers headlines that I don’t read in my daily news consumption. If I listen to this podcast daily, I feel updated on the news and don’t have to consume other news if I don’t want to.
Beth0404040404 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/07/22
An every weekday listen! Quick grab of important news with sassy commentary. I listen every day without fail and wish it were on the weekends too, but Monday’s show does a great catch up of what went on. Thank you for keeping me informed!
SFMomLife via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/07/22
Been listening for months now, love the light twists and drags Sami adds to the show to make harsh news a little easier to hear.
matttyyt via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/06/22
Morning announcements is clutch and crucial The music is not annoying This pod is perfect as is Sami’s research and commentary Extra extra …. I’d say 4/5. Slow to start and pick up but is then rather informative and insightful. Also appreciate the length and music in between segments.
saphireee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/19/22
Exactly what I’ve been looking for in a daily news summary. It’s a welcome departure from the standard news delivery style and format. Re previous review, with respect, the language at the end is fine by me. It’s 2022, most have moved on to relaxing about it except in formal situations. I’m happy...Read full review »

Awesome quick morning news briefs. The F bomb at the end kinda took me out though. Feels unnecessary, and that’s coming from a fan of a good F bomb.
Jmanishere via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/11/22
Great podcast to get super informed in a short amount of time. Fits my morning commute perfectly and I’m able to start my day knowing what’s going on in the world. Entertaining, well-explained, easily digestible.
SherryCherry via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/10/22
Just heard Sami on Ryan Bailey’s show and I’m glad to have this podcast in my roster.
Dharmaamy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/28/22
Love this brief way to get up to speed on the latest news. I live in Canada so I appreciate the international news in addition to American headlines.
jess_rox101 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/22/22
While the topics poor Sami has to cover are often depressing, I’m so grateful she breaks down the massive amounts of news being thrown at us to a bite sized amount that I can start my day with. I feel informed about important topics happening daily while not being overwhelmed. Not to mention her...Read full review »

Cursing and false statements! WOKE as can be ! Thanks a lot Sami , you ruined my day !
mammerjacod via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/20/22
I just found out about this podcast and it’s right up my alley. The only thing that is making it unbearable is the jingle that happens multiple times throughout. I get having an intro and closer jingle, but it’s too jarring and obnoxious to have as a transition jingle repeatedly.
Cate reviews this & that via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/17/22
Honestly is a waste of time to add more comments.
Nick92751910 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/11/22
I listen most mornings- it’s a great way to keep up with most headlines. Sami is so funny. I would do the subscription to get the bonus episodes but it’s so expensive when translated into Canadian dollars.
cdnmartini via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/30/22
I like the format of a short update on the morning news. Sami is smart, informative and engaging. Absolutely recommend
Adrywa via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/02/22
I love listening every morning while I get ready for the day. I feel connected and amused while I get the latest on the things affecting our country and our world. It’s a great way to keep up with the news without feeling down about it.
Mhenry08 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/31/22
Very informative and relatable content! We love Sami!
avisage via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/31/22
Best, easiest way to catch up on the news in the morning. Love it!
andrealaba via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/31/22
Sami’s left leaning witty takes make listening to the news actually bearable. I love that I can stay informed daily with such a quick and easy podcast. The dark humor along the way adds the perfect little amount of spice.
