“First, I think The NewsHour is the best daily news program on television, and this podcast is a staple in my iPod-based news diet.
Many reviewers have complained about the podcast being broken into segments. I *like* the segments: I can immediately choose which of three or four stories to listen to during my commute, and there are a few stories every week that I'd just rather skip.

I guess the ideal solution would be a unified, 55-minute podcast with chapters, but I can't think of a podcast from a mainstream, traditional media provider that uses them.
I would add my own voice to people who suggest including the news summary with the podcast, but that's not enough of a complaint to take away from the five-star reporting and analysis.”Read full review »

I otherwise would never get to see/hear this show, but thanks to the podcast, I listen on the way to and from work, or whenever I have a free moment with my iPod. While my 11 O'clock news might give a story 40 seconds, News Hour...”Read full review »
