WSJ reporter Laurence Norman and Marion Messmer, senior research fellow at Chatham House, discuss what might drive some countries to seek the protection of others or consider building their own nukes. Then, Debak Das, assistant professor at the University of Denver, shares the proliferation risks of a renewed arms race, and what the process of actually building a nuclear program could look like.

Same Covid stories over and over

I wish this gave more information on other big topics and less on Covid 19. I know that I'm not the only person tired of hearing it everywhere we turn.

Ads and Commentary?

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

Good content… when it arrives.

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.

Updates 24 hours late???

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?

The decision to drop the daily WSJ and New York Times deprives your listeners of a prime source of excellent content. I will no

I will not renew when my subscription ends in Nov. A prime reason for listening is now gone.

Headlines, not reporting

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.

Why the change?

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!!!

Awkward Podcasts inferior to Audible’s former WSJ

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.
