Just the news
One of the first shows I listen to daily. A great catch up on the day’s news.
Amazing Podcast but DRC??
Great podcast but are they going to cover what’s happening in the DRC?
Maybe change up the topics occasionally
Cover something else than Israel and Hamas war. Nothing changes weekly yet you cover small changes every single day.
