I want to like this podcast, but Claudia overdoes the game show host intonation trying to be really playful and fun. I find her personality boosting vocal stylings distracting and annoying at times. She has a lovely normal reading voice so I wish she would just stick with that.

I feel bad saying this, but my ears can’t take it. Claudia, the host of this show, uses a voice that is unnatural, terribly annoying, and grating. She sounds like a bad replacement for a game show host or, like another reviewer said, someone auditioning for community theater (who doesn’t get the...Read full review »

I’m a digital PennLive subscriber and am trying to embrace its podcast offerings, but this just isn’t for me. I cannot stand this podcaster’s voice. She sounds like she’s auditioning for community theater. If she sounds this affected in everyday conversation, my thoughts and prayers go out to her...Read full review »

I'd like to address Diana and LeCheesehead reviews: I feel like you don't understand the concept. This Daily News BRIEFING (note the word BRIEF) is just a quick few minutes headlines to address some news of the day. It is NOT a full hour or so newscast.....for that, you need to to...Read full review »

surely there’s more than 3 minutes worth of notable news happening in the entire state! this is basically a waste of time. it could be so much better and more informative. i don’t really understand it’s purpose. and the exaggerated voice and enunciation of the host are incredibly annoying. i...Read full review »

The new format is disappointing, and no outward announcement or renaming of the original show.

Find this podcast a nice start to my day. Quick hitting and highlights news important to my state. But the new cash register sound is kind of loud & annoying. Overall, great podcast!!!

Claudia has made Today in PA mandatory listening in our house. We grt more useful information, and feel more informed in these few minutes than we are with many TV newscasts. Thanks, Claudia, keep up the great work.

I really enjoy listening to this podcast just to catch up on news on the area.
pghgirl428 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/23/22
I enjoy the quick rundown of what’s happening around the commonwealth, but I can’t stand the broadcaster’s goofy voices. Please just say “Today in PA” like you really live here.

A fun, irreverent daily digest of stuff going on in PA
Jimhfoster via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/04/21
This is a fun daily show that keeps me up to date with the goings-on in Pennsylvania. Stories can be off the beaten path, which is great. The hostess is easy to listen to as well.

Great job keeping PA informed.

Great start to the day!! Love the quick news review and always something to make me smile or laugh.
gharki via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/25/21
It’s super great that it takes only about 5 minutes to listen to a brief but thorough explanation of the big news stories across Pennsylvania. I also enjoy the intro and outro music.
ohheyitsn1ck via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/13/21
Enjoy the podcast very much and wish it could be a few minute longer to include a quick sports/weather check. Great show!

I was quite happy with Claudia’s replacement too. Good job Mr D!
PalPetr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/10/21
This podcast is the best way to get a short but sweet review covering Pennsylvania’s news of the day. I love being able to get a 5 minute rundown of all the important stories. Claudia also throws in some good humor and has such a positive attitude that I love. Would definitely recommend!

Love listening to Claudia Dimuro every day!
LOTRArwen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/24/21
This brief podcast for local weekday news is informative and convenient. Claudia’s delivery has room to be more professional, though. The news content is enough on its own, without side commentary or theatrical pronunciations.

Five stars if the talker knew how to pronounce PennLive

Always an enjoyable listen to start off the day with informative and interesting stories. Claudia does a great job reporting and hosting!
ItsKlaud via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/25/21
If you can do a great job delivering 3-4 chunks of news every day in less than 5 minutes, that proves the brevity and yet the power of this podcast. I also think Julia Hatmaker is the happiest sounding podcaster of any I listen to. Keep up the great work.
genuinejake via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/31/20
Short and informative Pennsylvania news podcast. It doesn’t get any better than this. They keep it straight and to the point. I look forward to this podcast to keep me updated on what’s on in PA.

This podcast is an awesome way to get local news fast. I literally listen to it each morning as I brush my teeth and run a comb through my hair and by the time I’m done with that, I’ve had my fill of great news stories. Julia Hatmaker does an excellent job of bringing out the highlights in the...Read full review »

Excellent work. Best 5-6 minutes of news I can get from a 24 hour period. A bright spot to my long days on the road as a Lyft driver

I moved away from Philadelphia a year ago, and listening to Today in PA as I get ready in the mornings is a great way to feel connected to home. I appreciate the mix of stories and the way they’re summarised, and the host’s style of delivery is a great mix of informative and warm.
Timwis via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/25/19
Great podcast, I start every day with Julia and the NYT podcast.
Person123321 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/01/19
A lovely roundup of all types of news with at least 1 fun/kind/cute story. It’s only ~ 5 mins long and a great, informed way to start your day!

Today in PA is the peppy, informative, and easy-listening podcast that pairs perfectly with morning coffee!
