Love the way these guys breakdown the news, particularly complex concepts into easily understandable everyday language. I feel so informed about current affairs. And it’s fun. Quirky extras and details is what makes this podcast the best.

If you are a fan of Israel, Albo, and big mining companies, this podcast is for you. You will never hear a bad or critical word spoken about them.

I listen to The Squiz everyday and it’s an invaluable part of my morning routine. It keeps me up to date with the news so I’m across the key talking points for the day. Their free newsletter is equally helpful. I also like how they release Squiz Shortcuts each week, where they go into further...Read full review »

I’ve been listening to the pod for a while but was disappointed by their coverage of the voice campaign. Whilst trying to show ‘both sides’, you gave credit at times to the misinformation being spread by the no campaign. Also refusing to take a stance on the issue seemed like a convenient cop out...Read full review »

Always look forward to listening to this. Very i formative and the crew break the daily news into digestible pieces of info and I like it like that.
Banana wifey via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/03/24
The best Australian news podcast to get you across the news quickly. It’s thorough and non-biased news while also staying light. In a world of heavy news, it’s the perfect mix. The team are excellent!
MadeleineLaw via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 12/22/23
I’ve been a listener now for at least 2-3 years. A bite size daily news bulletin to keep me informed. And I love the personal touches that really brings joy to the listener. Thanks
🤠Tanz via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 12/14/23
I love this show and listen daily! The show helps keep me informed and updated on the news without feeling saturated and overwhelmed. Thanks team
Kedyyd via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/28/23
Usually a great summary of news and interesting ideas- thanks. (Occasionally too much BBC/England focus) Claire Kimball is smart, prepared, and a great communicator.
readingupatree via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/28/23
Apart from from a few nervous giggles and odd pronunciations, this is an excellent podcast that succinctly overviews the main news of the day. I listen every morning. Great work guys!
DonnaE68 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/27/23
Love this pod. Listen everyday and it’s an especially great way to keep up with news while overseas
Dj0301 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/28/23
The Squiz present a balanced mix of national & international news in a 10 minute podcast that drops each morning. The hosts are easy to listen to and excellent explainers. Claire Kimball is wonderful. Go about your day feeling informed…
Persiphlage via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/28/23
Thanks for a lighthearted, but informative snapshot of what is going on in Australia and the world. Could do with a bit less US news - we aren’t the 51st state of America, no matter how much our media and politicians seem like positioning us as such.
Sielty via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/27/23
I have been listening to Squiz today for years and can’t do without it. Its hard to find a news podcast that’s not biased and The Squiz is refreshingly neutral. I could listen to Claire Kimball and her team discuss news all day.
Ren Frant via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/22/23
Love The Squiz. You really do meet your advertised brief in offering bite-sized news items In layman’s terms. Very understandable and informative. I also enjoy your choice of stories to cover. Well done Team Squiz.
Pepperockmob via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/13/23
Absolutely love this podcast. My favourite news pod I have come across in the last few years. I recommend you to all my family and friends. It feels like we are in the room with you when we listen. Saturday squiz and squiz shortcuts are also fabulous

Love this podcast. Have been listening for several years and it’s essential part of my day. I’m Australian living overseas and love the blend of national and international news.

The Squiz team do a terrific job of scanning news from across the globe and synthesising it into a short, neutral summary that helps me stay across the big news stories. It’s become a vital part of my day.
JeninNZ via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 08/09/23
Have been listening to Squiz today since 2018. Great summary of most recent popular news events but best of all, other than usual humour at some quirky stories, presenters don’t insert their own agendas into reports. Just concise and plainly spoken.
frantically grateful via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/09/23
I Listen daily, excellent summary of daily news and weekly deep dive articles and fantastic easy recipes in the weekly newsletter. All round informative. Highly recommend.

I listen to this every morning and subscribe to the newsletter. Excellent and balanced content.
MTGGTT via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/23/23
So pleased my sister put me on to this news podcast. Definitely my key news source - balanced and easy to digest. I also love the squiz shortcuts when I want to educate myself a bit more on a particular topic. Also wanted to commend the Squiz team for going back to previous big news stories and...Read full review »

It’s a great quick way to be across what is going in in the world. The fake laughing to some stories is too much
Brightbots via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/09/23
Love my daily dose of news, perfect for the headlines, and also a bit of fun / trivia. The presenters are easy to listen too as well. Well done to the team on a well researched and presented show!
JH82!! via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/07/23

I listen to the shortcut every day on my way to the gym/work and I feel well informed on the important stuff! Keep it up team!
chikkenstix2001 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/28/23
Not at all boring. Not at all politically charged. Just good straightforward to the point news!!
tulula velucos via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/28/23
Love listening to the Squiz. They give a bit more depth and variety each day compared to news bulletins on the radio.
Rose171189 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/26/23
I’ve been with the squiz since it was just a newsletter. Still love the newsletter for its witty writing. Podcast for a quick roundup. Highly recommend!
Australia skp via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/26/23
This really is news delivered differently. You can’t often say this about the news, but the Squiz podcast is a sheer joy to listen to. Thank you Squiz team for keeping me informed in such a fun and friendly way. I love listening to you!
Xanthe Roberts via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/22/23
A brilliant, succinct and interesting wrap up of the news you need to know
MrsWhatshisphone via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/19/23
I found listening to the news quite depressing so for a time I didn’t listen. My mum recommended this podcast to me because it is a short daily podcast with news stories that are serious but mixed with more light hearted bits. It’s now my daily ritual in the morning and I feel I can keep up with...Read full review »

Keep up the great work! As an ADHD mumma, I don’t have the time or patience to keep up with the news normally. I feel so much more connected thanks to the squiz. Thanks!
LollyG68 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/16/23
Great short wrap up of all the news. Opinion free, real journalism. I never miss it. Gets me up to exercise every day!!
Lady Cyren via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/06/23
Love this show but hate that you allow businesses with vested interest to be your sponsors, including Uber discussing gig work reform. Such a biased viewpoint and you know if it’s discussed on this show (even as an as) it can be mistaken for real news.
laz196589! via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/30/23
As an ex pat, this is my daily link to keep in touch with Australia. I live it’s simplicity and no frills approach.
ExPatAus via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/14/23
I listen to this podcast almost every day and really get a lot of value out of it. However I find their commercial partnerships with AGL and Uber who are pushing green credentials and the perks of the fragile gig economy frankly, quite galling. Hope the Squiz gets some more ethical commercial...Read full review »

Habitually listen on the train to work. Short, sharp and witty way to keep up to speed.
Ramps A via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/10/23
The perfect amount of news balanced with some humor and fun stories. I recommended to all my friends who are time poor but want to know what’s going on.
Tina Allington via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/09/23
This is my go-to when I wake up. Brief, bright and succinct.
Jetjob via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/09/23
The Squiz manages to wrap up the news of the day, often involving complex and varying topics, into a delightful and comprehensive 10 minutes of easy listening. Perfect for the morning commute or your warmup on the treadmill. This is what Australian media should strive towards.
AmyLangley via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/08/23
Keeps me up to speed with the world’s goings on in a fun, fresh and relatable way. Definitely worth adding into your morning routine. Same for the Saturday Squiz!
MandiiLiv via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/08/23
Super quick and informative in the morning! Gives me a great overview of what’s going on. Love the mix of hosts too! All bring something different to the show.
