r0gue007Please… more news less opinionLove you guys, just really want a more breaking / current news pod. I listen to a lot of political pods, would like CNN to be news please.
-
👳🏽💐Jo BeckFor Jo Beck: I love listening to the news because of your positive attitude and energy, especially during these dark and negative times we’re surrounded by. If you had your own TV show, I’d definitely watch it. You’re such a great narrator, and the whole cast is amazing. Krista Bo and Ifemoa Dike, you all are incredible hosts! I can’t believe there are people with low intelligence who criticize the way you speak. I wish we could remove the reviews and ratings system!
-
Nate RootedSlantHard to give the news while giving mere opinions on politics. Stick to the news, avoid taking sides.

CownoseEfioma.I think rather we might try accepting ethnic differences in pronunciations: “Aks” instead of ask. I am grateful when language variations are printed. It keeps me creative in my own use of language which in turn has helped my aging when I can’t always put my tongue on the right word. Being annoyed about other’s dialects seems like such a waste of precious time. Just enjoy it.
-
NamsalotAppreciate the good news however..I always listen to 5 Good Things with that sort of suspension of disbelief you need just for the good vibes. Today’s episode, however, really broke my heart. How can you report on Turkey’s “love and protection” of stray cats when they are rounding up stray dogs and either slaughtering them or strapping bombs to them and sending them into caves to kill and root out “undesirables”. Nope sorry. Y’all failed hard today.

esSilverlinesCan’t stand CNN ANYMORE!I love this podcast and used to have much respect for CNN but today I’m unsubscribing, won’t watch it on tv nor Youtube anymore. How can you bend over so much manipulating facts and justifying the indefensible JUST TO APPEAL to the Right Wing crowd. The true is the truth. It’s not Left or Right! I can’t stand it anymore and the last drop for me is this latest conversation about Project 2025 manipulating the facts and justifying the indefensible. Keep doing it. One day you’ll be forgotten. PS: Stop the “Hello” and “That’s all for now” as if you’re talking to a happy crowd in a meeting instead of telling the news.

ncogbnoTearingCrying through New Mexico. So this is an AI update? I am sad

Erica Ross-KriegerWhat's with this "hello"?I would be giving a five star review to this whole show… But I am giving a two star review for episodes hosted by Jo Beck... it's her overly chipper "hello" that is just incongruent with news of the day that typically contains extremely serious information. She sounds like she is saying hello to a bunch of joyful school children. I immediately turn off the podcast when I hear it. I'm sorry to be so blunt but that's my truth.

OH! I-OPosting to hide a racist reviewFighting to beat racism. Winning!

nlzmomGreat format, but ...Great format, but you have to know there's a bias (just like other news apps), whether it's what they do/don't report or how they frame the story. The headlines are good, but it's typical CNN reporting.
-
KpnewsfanTop notch hostsAll of the hosts of this show are fantastic, and I sincerely do not understand other’s criticism of Ifeoma Dike. Her presentation and reading are professional and it is a GOOD quality to have a diverse set of presenters and inflections. Love everything about this pod, from the hosts to the top notch reporting.
-
<3twilightaddict93Great news and great hostsThe goat story really brightened my day! Thanks for spreading the good news! The hosts are so funny!
-
Rooney33147Format 5 Ifeoma 1I love this format, but the word is ASK not axe. I find myself wanting to skip Ifeoma Dike’s episodes. It’s not just that word but so many inflections that are distracting.
-
ChshreCatAll great….well mostlyI really enjoy and appreciate the efficient and (usually) fair roundup of the news, I listen to news from several sources and CNN usually hits all out at least most of the stories that are immediately relevant. I want to give it five stars, BUT Ifeoma Dike hosts so many of the episodes and she speaks with odd unnecessary pauses in the middle of her sentences which I find completely distracting and hard to listen to.
-
JaysonLevyHigh Quality Weekday and Weekend ProgramsI am impressed by app’s weekday 5 Things, and weekend 5 Good Things and One Thing programs. 5 Things’ editorial stance is balanced, and the show is delivered with an optimistic tone. On Saturdays, 5 Good Things provides a welcome break from the challenges and threats in the news. And on Sundays, One Thing is thoughtful and respects the listener’s intellect.
-
Familyguy-2010Great podcast to keep up with newsI listen to this podcast every morning driving to work. It keeps me entertained and the news coverage is awesome. I also like the new five good things on Saturdays.
-
PauldabbWe get it! You changed times!“Don’t forget, we’re changing times…” how can we? You’ve only said it after every episode for the last 3 weeks

D.W. ReadAll the hosts are goodI do not understand some people’s criticism of Ifeoma Dike. She’s fine. Better than fine; she’s a very good news presenter.

Sucifer211Show Notes Format Update Request Please!THANK YOU for provide such great, quick way to get caught up on news! Small Request: Could you please update your show notes to mimic the format below? December 20, 2023 6AM ET 1.

The TSA says it's expecting a bump in travel numbers over the holidays. 4. Dozens of documents naming Jeffrey Epstein's victims and associates will be released next year. 5. And, a parenting influencer has pleaded guilty to child abuse.

delaDBSpeaker needs to read betterIfeoma’s voice is lovely but as other reviewers have noted, her reading needs serious improvement. She places pauses and inflections in odd places and the sentences don’t flow well at all. It’s so distracting that I’m finally unfollowing this show. It’s a shame.
-
Dozer1474?TrashMore trash from the Commie “News” Network. If I could you’d rate in the negative.👎🏻
-
ally1970I’m sad to say…I love this podcast, but I find myself wanting to skip every episode hosted by Ifeoma Dike. Her copy reading is not up to par with a show that is this polished. I wish CNN would find someone else to read for her or that she would get more training to help her sound more professional.
-
Miz LuvRude ads formatI had stopped listening to 5 Things here and elsewhere because inserting ads part way through a podcast that is LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES long is just insulting and abusive. To be clear, I am fine with ads to support a program, but only within reason. INTERRUPTING such a short one is the epitome of greed, and is basically a big F-U to the audience. CNN could afford to put out a free five minute microcast that only runs once every three hours if it wanted to do so. Limiting ads to the intro and outro cannot possibly have a material impact on its bottom line. Now, this one is falsely promoted as “ad-free” over on Amz Music. For the past two weeks, CNN has been interrupting every episode to play ads on its supposedly ad-free feed over there. I had only begun listening at Amz because it came without the obnoxious interruption. There are PLENTY of other micro newscasts out there that have figured out ways to support their programs without inserting ads right into the middle of their extremely short podcasts. And several others honor the ad-free format at Amz Music, including NPR, WaPo, Slate, and even Fox and WSJ. So I will, once again, dump CNN. 👎🏻

Spike 1954Phils, my news needs perfectlyIn this time of my life, I’m approaching 70 and I’m legally blind, I, don’t care to be saturated with the news. To be overwhelmed by it. To be given too much information, and not being able to see limits what I could glean from a television screen. I trust CNN. I like the encapsulation. In less than six minutes four or five times a day I can get what I need to know to be engaged and not terrified. I have friends who keeps a news on all day long on television and yes, it’s tune to CNN but too much is just that: too much. This is just enough. I listen to it at 6 AM, 9 AM noon 5 and 10 PM, and that’s perfect. That amounts to about 25 minutes of news today. Thanks CNN for doing a great job.
-
Mildred HoneyLots of info packed into a few minutesGreat balanced important report about the uninformed trying to and succeeding to ban books.
-
Mtdude69Decent but…I’ve listened to this podcast for a while. It is decent but my main issue is the podcast will pick one ad and replay it for every episode on repeat for weeks on end. With several episodes it gets mind numbingly annoying hearing the “Doctor Downtime” commercial.
-
Utred son of UtredThis is Not journalismYou are stenographers for “high ranking officials” in the IDF.
-
chdallasfanI love the inside and insights they give on daily information!!They give outstanding daily updates several important times daily. They go in deep on Sunday mornings on important subjects. And they go into extra detail when it is necessary. I give them a 10 plus rating. Add them to your library. Casey
-
mkhmgkiBackground loop music is annoyingI’m hoping to catch the attention of someone in production of this podcast. Great news coverage but it’s hard to listen to because the background music is annoying. The synthetic, repetitive, pulsating sound is distracting from listening to the newscaster and actually makes me feel anxious. I’m going back to listening to NPR’s Up First.
-
LuLA Los AngelesBiasedI will no longer be listening to CNN. Your biased coverage of President Biden has hit an all time low. Why not report and keep count of every public official or past President who makes false claims? Seriously? Why not report on the position accomplishments of the Biden administration. Desperate and not a good look, 5 Things.
-
RedriderCAWESOME!!I LOVE THIS SHOW!!🤠
-
Ahol91Switch up your adsGreat podcast with good information, but if I have to listen to The Assignment’s advertisement in every single episode (I listen to a few in a row to catch up) it makes me want to scream.
-
Diana1sbqJo BeckJo Beck cheerful start to my day is the reason I listen. If I could bottle her auditory sunshine I could throw out my anti-depressants. Thank you for your cheerfulness when the news is less than. It truly brightens my day
-
JdfbidomanxLeftist AgendaGiven everything happening in the world, how can the Trump indictment and climate change stories be in the “top 5 things you need to know” every freaking day!?!? CNN used to be objective news, but today it is clearly pushing a left wing agenda. As a moderate, I find it really annoying.
-
Ricardo LorguiMore from overseas. Can we?Great news format. Short and straight to the point. I wish I could have more in other regions of the world.

GhibbobI Am Through With CNNI cannot support an entity that provides an avenue with which a criminal espouses anti-democratic and anti-American principles. I will no longer subscribe to any CNN vehicle, and will encourage the same for all family members, extended family members and all friends.
-
midwestBlue5.10.23shame, Shame, SHAME on cnn for giving that stupid violent liar trump a sole platform to spew more and more lies and continue to defame ms. carroll. U are done. U have lost all credibility in the world of journalism. U are the new Fox network.
-
SnowmeltedGood info but a little repetitiveWith only 4 1/2 minutes they should avoid repeating the same story several updates in a row. Also the extra info they keep repeating is annoying such as telling us the “payments to a porn star are not against the law”. I probably heard that 10 times. Also, they need to make sure their hosts know how the pronounce the word “Ask” and not “Axe”
-
MariaRussSuccinct and appreciatedMy only suggestion is to eliminate the background “music”. It’s unnecessary and distracting
-
TruthBeToldAlwaysEnding this podcast!This podcast is tainted by negative, prejudiced slant against Democrats. A skewed review of the SOTU is the last straw for me. Also some presenters have bad word usage: “aks” instead of “ask” and “verse” instead of “versus.”
-
NewsKnutNot at the Level of Other CNN ProductionsTime to invest in this podcast: find a new host, find some producers. CNN can do better than this.
-
Firebird0iAwesomeness5 things works perfectly with my morning cup of coffee to get me out the door in the morning.
