The content and the voices delivering it are as part of my day as washing my face with cool water.

Informative news that doesn’t cover what the Beckhams are wearing. Really refreshing.

It made me sad 😭🤧😷

Thank you 😍

Whats going on.. no updates on bbc podcasts for over a week.

Every few days you put news about Egypt. You are reporting news from 5 years ago and showing misleading stories !! What is the purpose ? Your news is lies. You are showing minority people opinions as if it is facts.

It is all lies and misleading.

Don’t trust anything you listen to here!!

BBC news is not a news ! They enforce their biased opinions, showing some people’s views as if they are fact. Manipulate and brainwash the listeners.

This is the one podcast I listen to every day, insightful, relevant and engaging.

I have not missed a single epic since I started listening at the start of lockdown. Some stories could always be explored further but overall this my my favourite, favourite podcast.

A good way to get a quick and easy daily news blast when I wake up or have a few minutes and find out what’s going on in the world

I love the podcast, listen every morning. That being said, can someone please tell Valerie Sanderson to CLEAR HER THROAT before speaking after a segment? She always sounds like she has phlegmy throat and has been caught off guard. It drives me insane. Apart from that, really great stuff!

Keeps you up to date with the essentials and always ending on a positive note (at least the ones I’ve listened to). Informative, engaging and precise. The take away lunch of news.

super efficient way to get a hold of international news when, by and large, the most easily accessible news is very European and North American centric.

Essential listening if you want to find out what’s going on in the world 👍

My go to podcast to get a concise round up of the day’s main news. As well as covering the big stories it has lighter, quirkier stuff which makes this both an informative and entertaining listen.

I like this podcast but you need to fix a detail in your episode from this morning. You said “3 billion people have used the swipe feature on Tinder.” You actually mean that there have been 3 billion swipes. Totally different figures! I thought for a second that there were 1.5 billion men waiting to meet me on one app...

It tells you all the news all around the world if you didn’t have this then you wouldn’t know what was going on in the world 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃

These podcasts are my essential listening each day; other podcasts can follow

This podcast is the best news podcast I have ever listened to. Always filling you in in everything across the world and it presented extremely well. Definitely a good one. Please listen!

😃😃😃😃😃😃❤️

Great bees and coverage. Thanks

An unhealthy obsession with bashing Trump, Jackie Leonard can’t hide her obvious hatred of him. Please report the news and not your opinions on how things should be.

The deceit shown is remarkable they call themselves impartial.

Could you please be a little bit more careful with your comments about COVID in ‘Africa’? Africa is a continent with 54 distinct countries. You should report with the same nuance and respect you give European countries such as the U.K. and Italy.

This podcast drills into what is going on in the world in a fresh, informative way and is my favourite listen, particularly as the world it looks at becomes more uncertain and difficult to fathom. It’s always obviously very well researched and the presenter is an excellent interviewer with great warmth. The sounds and music enhance everything. Congratulations to the Guardian team who produce it.

I really enjoy listening to this news podcast. It is very educational.

I recommend this

So many people I know listens daily and thinks it an essential part of their day

The most underrated news podcast. I listen daily. Brilliantly produced and presented.

So refreshing to have a truly international perspective. I’ve a busy schedule each day but rarely miss an episode. Truly professional journalism.

If you happen to try picking up beautiful RP accent, this will be very helpful. Plus you won’t be missing out what’s going on/in at the moment!

How’s things Kevy. Bad result midweek

Lorna is basically OK.

How are you and Fay?

I love to open the app & listen to the

Subjects that you pick, there is always a mixed bag of curio things

Keep going you are all great

The BBC has switched Global News Podcast from an MPEG audio file to the MPEG AUDIO STREAM format. This is not currently supported by Apple iPlayer (currently version 12.8.2.3). Indeed it is not signed off by W3C as fully defined and approved. The file is located at [h ttp://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/6/redir/version/2.0/mediaset/audio-nondrm-download-low/proto/http/vpid/p07cv45x.mp3] — Reason why I want downloadable files? I live on an island with poor internet connections. I cannot “stream”. To listen to podcasts I must download them when the connections are good and listen (often repeatedly) later. Why don’t I just listen to the radio? Nothing I want to listen to is broadcast when I want to listen to it. — Apple, please, please, please do what the Russian-inspired British Brainwashing Consortium wants: decline to publish links to files which fail to comply with your standards. — iTunes was useful for the years it took these fascists to build their own internet platforms to restore their direct control (of entirely tax-payer (and licences are a tax) funded media - media that rightfully belongs to us tax-payers on the basis that whomsoever pays for the commission, owns the commission). They don’t need iTunes now - except to use it to advertise (for free) media only available on their own platforms - so let them go.

Great that Britain keeps a broad perspective on the news through the BBC. This podcast is my first daily port of call.

It gets a bit boring as this podcast is by the bbc which are supposed to be British. America already have CNN so why do the always talk about the U.S?

Yeah look if you’re going to do a story on a high pitched sound that was played in a Cuban embassy that caused diplomats a shedload of grief, you don’t ACTUALLY need to broadcast that shriek to subscribers enjoying their peaceful early morning commute.

So in future if you have a story about a new patented chainsaw technology, we’ll just take your word for it xx

less about USA please they are taking over our podcast, boring

Part of my daily routine for 1 year now. Lots of international news. Easy to understand for non native british speakers. And a light humour touch. Well done!

What makes this podcast so worthwhile, and enjoyable, is that not only does it bring you the most important latest news stories from around the world in a succinct and fair way, but it also gives fascinating pieces of human, cultural or scientific interest which often brighten and enlighten your day.

Superb daily update on all you need to know about World news from Jackie Leonard and the team. Keep up the good work BBC.

The new logo looks like a parody show or tabloid. Like Mock The Week or something.

News content is great though of course!

Thanks for ditching the hideous theme tune. The best news pod is now perfect.

Excellent content, concise and clear, with coverage of headline news stories together with interesting features from around the world.

I have been following this podcaste almost five years ago, before I moved to the UK, I do enjoy the contents and it is great for me to improve English too. Well done BBC!

Most unreliable podcast I have listened to in my 10 years. There's an issue lately with podcasts routinely being unavailable. I'd recommend sourcing news from elsewhere to avoid any frustration.

Catalans should be proud of BBC for supporting them.

Excellent content, but often not made available until hours after it is complied. On a fast news day, it it out of date before it is uploaded!

A great way to keep on top of what’s going on in the world.

If you want open source Int from the public level then this podcast is a must. Good job chaps

As great a Radio 4 and just as long as my commute.

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Thank you.

listen to this podcast everyday during the office commute. I like it and have been listening to this most of this year- but have some suggestions:

1- see if you can pare down the timing from 30 minutes to 15- i ahve found that for the news podcasts, i prefer it short- i really loved cnet's tech review news, for instance.(5 minutes)

2-keep it focused on mainstream front page global economic and political stuff- for instance, whats happening in syria (arab spring) is more relevant than whats happening in some corner of central asia
