    Nice podcast
    Good reporting. They could use better editing, and cut back on the long commercial ads. And does anyone else feel like the Saturday theme music sounds depressing?

    Biased Reporting Against Israel and Jewish Community
    After listening to this podcast from day 1, I have unsubscribed because they reporting is increasingly one-sided and biased toward Israel and the Jewish community.
  • Shane Redsar
    Ad to content ratio
    The reporting is good, but there is regularly more ads than content in each episode. I get it, need to pay the bills, but it’s forcing me to skip the listen all together.
  • Dorothyrothchild
    Forgot how much I love this pod
    Highly recommend this show to anyone who’s interested in what’s going on in LA.
  • MobileRichard
    Love the podcast, but what’s up with the volume?
    I love this local news podcast, and this is why I keep listening to it despite this horrid editing. The podcast itself is very quite, much quieter than other podcasts, so that I have to significantly increase the volume. The ad at the end, however, blasts into your ears. Why would you do that to us, LAist studios?

    Helpful News
    I like these twice daily reports with important local news in digestible bits. I also appreciate their longer segments that explore local issues in more depth. Highly recommend for all Angelenos!
