Tells it like it is w/out being an arse

Concise in an easy way and you can hear the sense of humor when warranted. I too listened mostly on LBC. I’m waiting for a check mark on Twitter- lol

Worthy, daily listen.

I appreciate how concisely Simon delivers such valuable commentary and how quickly this podcast is updated. I usually catch him on LBC but these updates are a wonderful supplement. Excellent work Mr. Marks!

Great listen to gain perspective outside of the US

I really like how Simon gives a lot of facts, and then tells you his take on it. Does a good job of separating those 2. I like getting this perspective, because he is reporting locally, but it gives great insight as to how news is being perceived outside of the US borders.
