    Fun listen
    But you know nothing about the United States.
  • Chaz he
    Democratic Push on ABC
    ExPat here,listened to your news half my life but now you have been following suite to the BBC and CNN ( USA)I can’t listen anymore because of your blatant anti Conservative agenda like the other couple of news outlets you seem to be getting your ratings from Trump bashing,I believe you are afraid to broach the subject of the danger you are facing with the Chinese,and the crooks in your own parliament
  • PANDASIMS08
    Why don’t you call yourself the ALP news
    I cannot believe how bias this ABC (ALP) news program is. I implore your audience to think for themselves. 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 am politically neutral and I want my tax payer funded news to be too!
  • fiencisobflshsdk
    Get real
    No Sam, you aren’t reporting from the lands of the Gadigal people, you are reporting from Sydney.
  • Napoleon B. Blownaparte
    Come to hear real life Australian people accents...
    ...Stay because it’s really interesting and informative, with good reporting and investigating. I started listening to this podcast a few months ago because I wanted to perfect my Australian accent. I keep listening because it’s great reporting and always has an interesting topic. Try it out!
  • Doc Cottle
    Great show!
    Ange and her co-hosts consistently deliver a well-researched and interesting podcast about specific topics in the news.
  • beccajbird
    Good way to keep informed
    I was looking for a reliable source of information on the news I see on TV that is a bit of a deeper dive. This is great!
  • RN Diehard
    Excellent Coverage of Important Stories
    The Signal offers about 15 minutes of well-researched topics every day. Both host are knowledgable and well-researched, and each episode includes some very well-informed guest. Highly recommended.
  • The Dodg
    Varied subjects covered
    They do v well to give an across the subject snapshot or better
  • Go Vegan Save Bunnies
    Terrible
    Presenters devoid of empathy, compassion and brains. Staggeringly awful
  • Sean_Wong
    A Great new ABC SNAPCAST
    In the expat Aussie world it’s now easier to keep up with the zeitgeist at home. Thanks team. I’d say the preminance of musical interludes is a little distracting. Suggest just lowering the attack curve. Otherwise excellent. I’d ask just to add “what you need to know today” taking a leaf from the NYT The Daily podcast which is my daily US lefty liberal breakfast munch. Keep iterating !
