I'm glad I put this in my regular rotation. It's definitely a "News of the World as experienced by freelance writers in Brooklyn" kind of production, but they're at least interesting and succinct freelance writers in Brooklyn.

I just listened to two obnoxious hipsters denounce capitalism for half an hour on a website supported by whiskey and car ads. On a show meant to be played on a smartphone designed and built by a multinational corporation. So yeah, that’s about the level of discourse you can expect here.

If you're looking for intelligent, objective reporting, go elsewhere. I gave this pod a two-episode audition, and it flunked. The first, about NYC taxis, was a weak This American Life knockoff, the dominant notes of which were the hosts' "Look at us!" vibe and the penchant of James T. Green for...Read full review »
Keeping It Real NC via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/24/18
The hosts sound like sedated teenagers with a head cold, who don't seem to think any of this is remotely interesting. This podcasts begins to scratch the surface of many topics, but never gets anywhere with any of them, and I don't think the short timeframe is to blame. Teases, but fails to...Read full review »

it's about poop but Brandy and Drew were so funny, love it!
MertYang via Apple Podcasts · Taiwan · 04/25/18
They take ridiculous stances. I only listen to see how far left they go. Thankfully it’s a short podcast, otherwise I would have stopped listening. Much of their content is not well researched and they take a SJW stance on everything. Virtue signaling central. Not a credible news source, nor an...Read full review »

Fantastic daily podcast with culturally relevant stories that break away from the deluge of daily news podcasts. Excellent work!

If the Outline was in audio form, what would it sound like? Look no further. The Outline World Dispatch includes awesome bite-sized reports of the freshest articles. You should be listening.
soupVR via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/18
I love this podcast for its close look at news stories and cultural trends that are happening just below the radar. Their personal and idiosyncratic takes add emotional heft, and I’ve often learned about things before everyone else started talking about them. It’s an invaluable part of my morning...Read full review »

Wonderful podcast with stories I don't usually come across in my daily reading and listening. Great job, guys!

Seriously!!!
t.joe via Apple Podcasts · Hungary · 12/05/17
Irrelevant with absolutely no substantive content. Poorly researched and lazy. Host sound like disgruntled lethargic teenage with no depth of thought or any meaningful idea.
Quentin Navarre via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/29/17
Short, pithy stories ideal for a commute. Think This American Life with less pretension and earnestness and you’re halfway there
Luther Bandross via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 11/12/17
The content of this podcast might be useful. But the two hosts both delivering the most creaky talk is unbearable. Where do people get the idea this is attractive? Cloying is more like it.

A daily news podcast that doesn’t make me feel sad and terrified. Diverse topics. Smart ppl. Thoughtful audio production.
Ghrondo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/20/17
Very easy listening, very great for catching up with the world. If you need an interesting view on world news, every day of the week, go listen to this!
thomazio via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 09/26/17
Know that it's a daily podcast and those are extremely difficult to produce, but this short length for a thing that's intended to be heard on a person's commute seems at odds with The Outline's vibe/brand?? (A site I love and read often, by the way.) Whose commute is so short that this podcast...Read full review »

I wake up and listen to the "Dispatch" every day... please stop wasting our precious few moments together on, "Arcade Fire".
Daniel Casey Hopkins via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/09/17
Shallow, idealistic, one-sided opinion pieces presented by self-righteous naives who all speak in the same affected patois.
Gr@wl!x via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/28/17
15 minutes of excellently produced informative content. Has an identity all its own. Really enjoy seeing it every weekday
Rich in Cleveland via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/17/17
Subscribe, subscribe, subscribe is my advice to you dear reader. This podcast gets my Monday-Thursday going in the most informative way. It's just the right shot of news I need to keep up to date and in the know, and it's done with such a great indie style all its own.
Swordfish_262 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/16/17
This is a great mix of opinion and world news and culture; things you've heard a little about and things you probably wouldn't find on your own. They check back in on certain topics often. It doesn't get boring or repetitive and is about the right length for my morning. Highly recommended.

The outline has created a well thought news format in terms of content choosing, format, frequency and duration.,
EnzoFT via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/27/17
Polarized coverage, affirmation reporting
BOOTOO! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/24/17
This is a brief, sumptuously produced almost-daily hit of 2-4 topics that has a casual gait through the news, topical and evergreen.
Aaaaaadrian via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/14/17
The World Dispatch is a great way to catch up on stories that you were never going to hear about from other news sources. The show has great production quality and more importantly, really interesting stories. It is the first thing I listen to each morning when I roll out of bed. So many people...Read full review »

I usually walk away from these dispataches feeling more informed and clever about cultural topics and trends. The content is diverse but quite relevant for all of us as global citizens. Nice job Outline!
andrewvanhyfte via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/09/17
The outline offers a different and fresh approach to news and stories it's what I used to like about magazines and this podcast is like an appetizer of what you can find in their website
Dnfjdjddn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/09/17
My new morning commute radio show.
Austin Sz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/08/17
Great way to start the morning. I have enjoyed every episode.
jakevest via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/08/17
The only thing I look forward to in the mornings.
Pentuni via Apple Podcasts · Costa Rica · 04/27/17
Usually highlights information that was posted on the site he day before.
Blodwras via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/27/17
The Outline is my favorite website, and I used to love The Daily, but it was to much about Trump, I'm glad there is finally a daily news podcast that focuses on news other that politics. 10/10 Highly recommend.
#Prayers4Margret via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/19/17
This thing has just enough strange in it to make me want to keep listening for the weird Easter eggs I expect them to hide in the episodes. This whole mystery cassette vibe has a haunted tangible edge that makes listening a potential act of real world consequence. Seriously!!
Nav-Bot Lover via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/18/17
WOW
This is definitely going to become my new favorite podcast. These stories are so interesting and off the beaten path. A cool NPR, at last!
Jeffyhaza via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/17/17
An entertaining quick listen for the morning commute. And I've even learned something from it already!
xsplat15 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/17/17
Instant favorite.
Clint Westwood Sr. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/17/17
I really enjoyed listening to the first few episodes of Global Dispatch -- it was quick and included interesting stories. Way better than some of the other short, newsy podcasts I've tried. Highly recommend!
elizabethk1986 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/17/17
The perfect podcast. Bit sized, but non-generic overview of the day's stories from the fantastic editorial team at TheOutline. I've been waiting for a perfect audio version of their content and this is a great start!
Lightgreen 88 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/17/17
The first episode was great, three captivating topics. Keep them coming!
