“Disappointed to hear extremely biased reporting and deliberate twisting of the facts to paint an oppressor as the victim, despite the clear apartheid and genocide we’re witnessing.”

“I used to love listening to this podcast to start my mornings, but how are you not going to mention that it is Veterans Day? The whole reason I listen is to start my day with the latest news.”

“Such a weird podcast for news.
They're loud and proud of holding a specific bias, which makes this podcast an untrustworthy listen.
To be an honest source means you hold EVERYONE to the same standard.
But that’s too difficult to do I guess.
Avoid if you're looking for news.
Listen if...”Read full review »

“This is “straight talk” from a liberal New Yorker. Represents that perfectly. I like to balance it out with some NPR upfront, but I have a short commute so this is a quick go-to for the news. Keep it up!”

“I have been following betches from the get and really enjoy the content they put out but this Morning Announcements pod is so disappointing. It is extremely one sided and not fair partisan press. Really upsetting to hear a female voice speaking this way.”

“I respect everyone’s rights to their own opinions. It is possible to report news for both sides without making one side feel sandpapered. You are far left. We get it. Wish this kind of quick telling was available from an unbiased lens.”

“Sami is a garbage human being. I hope see sees this. She is arrogant, ignorant, and utterly convinced she is right 100% of the time Her "journalism" is amateur hour and unprofessional. I think she just has ugly girl syndrome trying to rely on her brain instead of her looks but it's a...”Read full review »

“Trash pod. I wish spodify would remove it from the daily. I wish it gave me an option to block this trash Zionist propaganda pod. 😒
Clueless and ignorant pod trying to be “quirky” but comes off as pompous and uppity. This sage woman’s voice doesn’t help.”

“Sami, This show is exactly the opposite of what you say. The show doesn’t roast the current administration. The only roasting I hear every day is Trump and the Supreme Court. Why are you not roasting the President and his administration that is by far a circus 🎪 show with a bunch of incompetent...”Read full review »

“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.”

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 »

“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.”

“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 »
