I listen every single morning, it's truly apart of my morning routine. I know listening to this podcast will always give me accurate and consistent information.

Those who complain about the supposed left leaning attitude this podcast takes are so close minded and hateful that only Fox news an other extreme right wing organizations sound normal to them. If you don’t like Apple News, fine! Go elsewhere for something that endorses and encourages your intolerance and hatred.

Authentic and thought-provoking, and love the fact there is no ad that interrupts the conversations.

Incredible stories released every week and insightful interviewing and questioning. Always get smarter about some topic every week.

I love the Apple News Today in Conversation discussion as it very informative & gives deep dives into topics you usually don’t see

Always listen after finishing Apple News. Such incredible stories, fact checked and that’s hard to come by these days.

I used to listen to this podcast every day and I really want to get the news. However, especially with the new president it’s become very clear that this is not the channel for me. It does not reflect both Republican and democratic views and stay impartial. They find a way to be negative about the administration and I do not appreciate it. It’s sad that even though most people voted for this person, the mainstream media cannot seem to get the hint and have balanced reporting. I will no longer be subscribing or listening to this channel.

I just listened to the rebroadcast of “The Real Reasons Couples Fight” and was enlightened by her perspectives on becoming a new mother and staying a good partner. It really does take a village and it’s sad that a narrative of independence being the best way forward has somehow replaced the value of relying on your tribe. We are told we can have it all, but then we are trapped in a lonely downward spiral … an echo chamber in which all we can hear are sounds of disappointment and all we want is to reconnect.

I am very happy you did an in-depth interview about Trumps rediculous immigration policy that he wants to put in place. More people need to be aware of how inhumane and cruel it is to separate families. And sending the whole family to another country is not the solution. What needs to be done is creating pathway of citizenship for the undocumented parents . That will solve so many problems. That is the solution. Keep up the good work! Broadcast as much of the inhumane and aweful things that Trump and his clowns are going to do to destroy our country.

I love that we get to hear in-depth and interesting topics every weekend.

You can tell by the words used which party everyone on these Apple Podcasters voted for. They vs we. Just listen.

I listen every weekday for news and each weekend for In conversation. This is a vital part of my news intake.

Are you a podcast host or a mourning dove? What I mean by that is while in conversation, the other guest is speaking and you hear from the hosts side. Mmmm hmmmm. Your cooing. Like a bird. Twice every time the guest speaks. Every time. Cooo coo. Can you maybe not so we can absorb the content without thinking about a female Michael Bobaro who’s possibly so self-centered it’s not enough for her face and name to be plastered on the podcast artwork, she definitely will not let us forget her while the other people are momentarily expressing their thoughts. Maybe nobody cares or even notices. Or heck maybe I am so old I don’t realize that’s like how everybody is talking now? but to me it’s a distraction and annoyance beyond any perceived benefit this program can give me. Coooo coooo I’m Michael Bobaro. See you tomorrow.

I wait for every Friday to find out what she is going to talk about on Saturday and sometimes listen to it on Friday right after the morning news. I start every day with Shamita’s voice telling me the daily news in a calm and reassuring manner. I love how she questions the guests very respectfully. She has such a disarming nature when asking questions. Thank you for making my week day morning and my Saturday mornings such a pleasure. I am lost when she is away or taking a vacation. :) Latha

I spend my mornings with you, great review of the daily news. I listen at night too when I miss it in the morning. Thanks for these micro news segments.

Only putting a good review in here to help offset the lame one star reviews from idiots on the internet. She does a great job too lol

I look forward every weekday to hearing this informative news podcast. She always brings us up to date on what happening in the world. I highly recommend this program to everyone.

Garbage and one-sided.

Her show is largely opinion-based and lacks factual content, leaning heavily towards a Democratic, liberal perspective. Given the level of bias, it could almost be categorized as a fictional podcast.

Incredibly left-biased and unfair show that uses rhetoric and dis-information to sway the under informed. It’s a hard pass.

Terrible. Wasn’t expecting a propaganda screed. Deceptively titled as somehow a neutral analysis.

This used to be a great way to start the day and catch up with current events. Now it’s just another one sided political news source. I’m solidly in the middle and I’m disgusted with all of the “news” media that is so biased in politics that they can’t produce anything worth listening to. Todays interview is a prime example. 30 minutes of why trump is bad. What a waste of time for anyone to listen to. it’s so one-sided you can’t believe anything that’s being said and I won’t waste my precious time allowing someone to try and brainwash me.

Most of the stories covered are either there to push a left-leaning narrative or to shill for some Apple+ movie or show. Occasionally there is a good one but it’s few and far between.

Listening the interviews are top notch, and understanding someone’s opinion

Listening to Apple News has been part of my morning ritual for years. I like a daily news summary and Shumita has such a pleasant, relaxing quality to her delivery. I look forward to each episode and I think Shumita is great.

Does Apple News not care about the opinion of men in their professions? Is Shumita Basu a man hater? Is her bias affecting the news we hear? Not sure why the ratio of men and women she interviews is disproportionate. Someone needs to study this.

It is very obvious that your views are biased. It was disturbing to listen to this as you were very negative towards Trump and more positive towards Kamala. Reporters are suppose to be unbiased but there are not that many of them around anymore, especially Apple News who are particularly biased liberals. You may get more viewers if you just reported unbiased facts. It is so disturbing that these podcasts pop up on my phone regularly and pretty much every time I attempt to listen, it’s the same one-sided garbage!

… reviews are in direct opposition to one another. “It’s bias and pro Israel” yet it is also “anti Israel,” it’s “biased because they let their guests say things I disagree with,” etc. That, folks, is all the proof one needs! The other reviews are either positive, or an old man who demands a woman smiles. 🤬 Shumita Basu is a titan who deserves a raise. I am a reformed journalist who knows how to navigate the news media landscape, I appreciate this show and Apple News in general. While I typically try not to say anything positive about Apple, their news product stands apart from all the other … problematic … everything else.

Host Shumita Basu presents the articles more clearly. Even non- native English can understand these podcasts. Please accept my 5-stars rating.

There is so much hot air, nonsense, and spin in American news today. This podcast is so refreshing in that it discusses important topics without being preached to or being told how to interpret the topic. Well done!

It’s like listening to MSNBC drivel non-stop. I say that as a Democrat for over 50 years. The bias on this show is shocking even by today’s meager journalistic standards. The interviewer and interviewees are often idealistic, Pollyanna ignoramuses. Talks on the environment give little play to views other than those discussed on the show as fact. The anti-Israel bent is clear and disappointing. In one show about the Israel-Palestinian issue, the “journalist” makes dozens of unsubstantiated claims well beyond his experience and wisdom - “a negotiated peace is the only solution.” Really? Has that worked over the last 75 years? What is his support? In another show, the guest opines about legal issues without an understanding of our federalist system. The interviewer has no sense to ask more probing questions or to challenge the guests whom she treats with reverence, not skepticism. The show is a big zero which contributes to misinformation which, in turn, causes bad policy and loss of lives.

This dude goes “IDK how it will end” - - Uhm how about NOT attacking and taking someone else’s land. How about Israel stops all settlements. Thats the best and only case. PALESTINIANS were there first! Hamas are freedom fighters.

This reporter and guests are clearly biased and all views will be pro-Israel and not based on facts. Do better.

I really appreciate the way Apple handles issues both on the news as well as the weekly “In Conversations”. The coverage is nuanced without being overdone.

Great show that discusses what you need to know in interesting areas that may not otherwise be covered. Wish it would be a little more politically centered though.

It’s refreshing and surprising how in-depth and principled this show is able to be while still operating under the Apple brand.

An unimpressed woman judging the world. I guess she is an archetype of the new woman. Her countenance matches what the show is. A liberal woman’s opinion on the world. Let me save you some time what the episodes are about: Liberals = good guys. Conservatives = bad guys. Can we please get some diversity of thought! I’d give this show an extra star if the host would smile for the show photo.

The only way to know if the person has a good sense is to ask the question of the question of what the country is like in

Biased view points probably bought just like the 5 star ratings

I jump into the episode as soon as it’s available. This podcast is so well written and structured that I cannot get enough. Thank you for such a great journalism!

I really appreciate your podcast. I sent it to my daughters. 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Thank you Ms Basu

The interviewer must have needlessly said "yeah" after each phrase of the interviewee. Annoying.

Great option for a podcast to listen to when you’re looking to learn about other people’s experiences or raise new questions inside you

Why should I listen to this episode and now take advice from a person who got scammed. What she fell for is so stupid and so common sense. She really should be ashamed and stop writing a financial column.

I listened to two episodes of Brian hosting, and I could not be happier with the podcast. He is a great talent, and you would be lucky to have him. Quite frankly, you can give him his own show, and I will definitely subscribe.

These are your talking heads? Brian Stelter on to talk about what’s real and what’s fake on social media? What a joke. Do better. Fake show.

Haha what a joke. Left wing talking points over and over complete shills for the political class.

Well produced and good stories but very political democrat view points. Republicans are always the antagonist in the stories.

Apple News Podcast. The WNBA episode was excellent. I’m so happy for everyone involved. It’s about time. Bravo!!!!!! Great discussion. Hit the heart.

Please consider interviewing Conservative voices. There are millions of conservatives in the US, whose viewpoints are definitely not represented by the likes of Rachel Maddow, Tom Hanks and the Dwight Schrute guy. How about interviewing eg. Megyn Kelly? Or James Woods? Or Tucker Carlson? Or Ben Shapiro? Why not?
