“I enjoy the in-depth reviews and news however it’s far too left leaning and almost entirely unbalanced for a government funded news and analysis program.
You can feel the illness oozing from the presenter and it’s such a shame because this could be an excellent podcast. My advice to the...”Read full review »

“Thankyou Sam for your work on this podcast although the episode about Ann the renter i found to be somewhat misleading. You continued to repeat that Ann will never be able to buy a home when surely what you meant was that Ann will not be able to buy a home in her desired location. There is so...”Read full review »

“Where the signal brought us unique perspectives and deep-dives into niche topics, every episode of abc news daily is a boring let-down. All this podcast can do is parrot whatever moral panic is topical in mainstream media, adding little to no insight or analysis. Not only are they not...”Read full review »

“It’s now been a few years, this podcast has had its time to settle in and find its feet, so I’m confident in saying it’s a terrible replacement for the signal. It’s a highlight reel of Four Corners and various trimmings of current affairs, in a bite size format that doesn’t get to the heart of...”Read full review »

“I use to enjoy this show and find its analysis of current news and politics refreshing and insightful, but I’ve found that it is increasingly under-selling itself by giving too much attention to cheap topics that pander to audiences’ easy-to-access fear and frustration: insurance, banking,...”Read full review »

“You’re meant to be tax funded unbiased media. Why are you aiding censorship? Where is the news on important global issues? Unless of course it’s about T Swifts AI generated nudes or King Charles’ bum surgery. Actually expected so much more from the ABC”

“What utter nonsense was todays episode, where ABC pushed the fluffiest piece to cover their back sides after succumbing to lobbyists to fire a journo, instead blaming a social media post… best make a whole store about social media then. What an empty and shameful piece ABC.”

“Hear an endless parade of university academics speak on climate alarmism, the virtues of the voice to parliament, the need to tax anyone earning over $80k more and the benefits of a welfare state. Our taxes pay for this tripe.”

“Sam is a great journalist but I feel she is better suited to 'serious' formats like 4 corners, 7.30 etc...the previous Signal hosts were just perfect and much more suited to the bite-size, casual summary of the news format that a podcast like this embodies. Just my 2c.”Read full review »

Zero ⭐️for the one with Alan Kohler on the golden housing era. Government should pay AirBNB hosts money to convert to rental? How about...”Read full review »

Do you think this program interviews and puts forward the ideas of both sides of an argument?? To me everything seems to get reported through a leftist lens.

“I enjoy most of the topics and guests. My constructive feedback is for the presenter to perhaps drop the feigned shock / horror. She puts hesitations on her words. Hangs on them to enhance the drama. It’s not a natural rhythm and intonation. I find it really distracting. Just talk more naturally....”Read full review »
