Putin Trump China

This is my first listen in the morning and first listen on my way home. Sometimes with traffic I get two episodes each trip! Thank you for keeping me in the loop on what is happening every day.

Windsor Johnston is a great reporter, she’s smart & had a great time to her voice but I cannot stand to listen to her because the way she pronounces the letter “S” is insanely sharp. It nearly whistles when she annunciates the sound & I have to turn her all the way down, waiting for the next voice to come through. PLEASE do something about her mic or whatever. With the new changes via the current Washington administration, I can’t get NPR on my radio, I have to stream it & I cannot with Windsor’s s’s.

This is a good podcast. I just wish it was a little longer.

Wonderful balanced roundup of what’s going on in the world in just 5 minutes!

The show used to be good, and that’s why I started listening to it. But it’s definitely not unbiased Walter Cronkite style like it used to be. You can obviously tell there’s an agenda and when they talk about certain policies, you can even hear it in the tone of voice on which way they’re trying to make you feel. It’s a little frustrating that there’s very little news sources out there anymore that just give you the facts and now their opinions and emotions. You should do better NPR.. It’s called Public radio for a reason.

Just over three minutes of news headlines in the morning is just enough not to feel depressed with the state of the world. Try pronouncing WimbleDon not WimbleTon. You do this for a living. 🙄

You have FIVE minutes to deliver the “ most important” news… SPORTS ARE NOT IMPORTANT. NOT NEWS. WHO CARES ABOUT BASKETBALL PLAYOFFS. THE WORLD IS ENDING.

Stopped loading on my iPhone 2 days ago.

Where is the podcast? Is it down? Is it canceled? I love this podcast. I hope it comes back. I’m going to try not to panic 😊

New episodes are on the NPR app but none on Apple Podcasts app.

What happened? I went looking for the podcast cuz I remember years ago this was the best news. It just went away?

My constant hourly go-to throughout the day evaporated. Where did you go? Why did you go?

The app is cleared of new and previous podcasts.

Love this so much but also every episode is gone now??? I listen to this daily.

I can no longer find « NPR News Now » on my feed. I feel like I am missing a loved one. Please bring it back.

I literally fact check by listening constantly bc of the ease of 5min Where2 go now 4 Factual News, suggestions

This podcast disappeared.

This is the only podcast I follow that occasionally just stops working. Like all of the episodes go away and it’s just a trailer. I understand they’re doing the subscriber thing for latest episodes which is understandable but the regular podcast just seems to come and go and I can’t imagine it’s because of technical challenges.

Why did this abruptly go defunct?

The first thing I listen to when I get up is NPR News Now. I want the truth with just the facts about what is going on here in the US and worldwide. NPR gives exactly that served in the 5 min bit size amount I need while getting ready for work. Then on the way home I listen to them again to get the update of what has happened during the day. Once again they are to the point with factual informations. NPR News Now is a trustworthy news organization with intelligent, mindful, truthful journalists. Start your day off right with the REAL News.

Cool, turn off your transcripts, I turn off my support

NPR should set the standard Please train your speakers!!

I’m so happy NPR has been keeping the movement alive despite the defunding. I almost think their reporting has gotten better. I will continue to donate

Great show covering ridiculous times

The best news. It’s hard to find places to find the hundred percent truth about what’s going on in our country thank you NPR you’re awesome and you rock thank you.

Great reporting. I get quick updates about the news I need to hear. NPR has been a go-to station for me for many years. Their reporting has always been truthful and trustworthy.

Thank you so much for providing objective fact based news. I listen to this podcast daily. 5 minutes is a perfect time for daily updates without being overwhelmed by information. Don’t know what I would do without this podcast.

There’s not even an update most of the time, just inserting the same exact sound bite from the previous 3 episodes of them exactly story. Not even one update in between that time

Keep up to date with independent news you can trust.

Love this show and listen daily.

Great 5 min update each hour that I have come to depend on!

As one who prides herself on knowing about the real issues, Trump terms mean an onslaught of breaking news 24/7! The NPR News *Now podcast keeps me up-to-date & in the know, on days that I have a full schedule & can’t sit down to watch a 30 min news broadcast. Plus, the NPR name assures accuracy with verifiable facts, versus a narrative crafted by sources with an agenda.

Updates important stories throughout day quickly

Love NPR News Now, listen everyday, throughout the day. Thank you NPR!

Longtime listener—I greatly value NPR

it is very hard to ignore the absence of objective coverage of Israeli aggression and oppression.

The details narrated by the reporter does not always provide much more substantive information than the brief introduction by the podcast host.

Listening has been part of my morning routine for years.

Three biggest questions of Trump’s war against Iran: 1) Did Israel war criminal Netanyahu force a weak Trump to bomb Iran? 2) Did compromised Trump bomb Iran to help Putin with oil revenues & Russia’s war against Ukraine? 3) Did yet another Republican President force US into Middle East war by manufacturing false evidence, or to distract from Epstein sexual abuse that incriminates Trump?

Hi I’m (insert my name here) 🍡 (yeah people a kid knows how to be safe on the internet)and I listen to this pod in my dads car he loves it and secretly I enjoy it a lot and I like hearing the news on the way to dance every night thank you (and don’t tell my dad that I like this pod he calls it his”dad thing”so ya byeee

I thought I was listening to FOX News for a second after hearing the pro-war bias they have on Iran. I couldn’t hear any unbiased or actual journalism.

A caption for the episodes would be useful. The click bait, blind listening is amateur at best

Love that i can catch up quickly Do with the end would say say and time for any time zone bc i like to just listen to all of them for half an hour and would be nice to have a reference

Great show to wake up to to get an overview of the news that is just the facts

This podcast covers a lot in a little time, with excellent editorial balance. Distribution is spotty though. This podcast no longer works on Overcast. Older tech comment from years ago: It could be improved if someone at NPR would listen to every podcast on an iPhone, to catch and fix the inevitable glitches. The accident time clock recording around 11am a few days ago was particularly hilarious.

Trump did not send agents into Chicago last year, since he was sworn in January 2026.

I feel like I’m left leaning now. I want to be central though so I’m listening to other pods that are central like Tangle for example. Still listen to this when I need a quick update, but I can see where people are coming from on the biased reporting. I like listening to the actual NPR radio too in moderation.

I'm looking for different sides…Get rid of phooey Eleanor Beardsley, her embarrassing rhetoric, plz. NPR used to be a really useful and informative new source but that was decades ago .snot snot completely biased all over the place no wonder why the government doesn't want to pay for npr. I Dont!
