This is a downgrade from the daily digests. Paying premium for ads?! And I don’t want opinions, want reporting in the news.

Excellent overview of what market participants want to know. Unfortunately, it doesn’t arrive consistently every morning, so hard to depend on it. Some days doesn’t show up at all when I check at 9 am, while it used to be available at 5:30 am. NY time. Disappointed.

Good content… when it arrives.

The last several days the podcast is updated 24 hours late. In other words, I'm getting yesterday morning's news this morning. When I checked with Audible, they confirmed that the podcast hadn't sent a new update. What's going on?

I switched to this podcast after the WSJ Digest was discontinued. This is not that. If you are looking for a bunch of headlines with brief (!) comments then this is fine. I miss the more in-depth detail of a full article. This doesn't even save time, with the introductions and ad time then cover nearly as many topics in the same time but with less information.

Headlines, not reporting

This podcast does NOT take the place of WSJ What’s In The News. It is not enjoyable to listen to and I have to listen to adds!!!

Why the change?

Podcast user interface too convoluted to automatically play most news. Titles don’t reveal the date / time of the podcast. Content has shifted from articles to interviews.

Awkward Podcasts inferior to Audible’s former WSJ

I enjoy the presentation, but the delivery is unreliable. Stories for a period are delivered on time, then not. The function to find the story you want to listen to, often does not respond. Very disappointing.

Unreliable delivery
