 Write a Review of Asia Cast World News Podcast
 
J.E., February 17, 2006
Reviewer: J.E.
from Chicago, Illinois
This podcast is produced by Sound of Hope News, and brings listeners a quick recap of the biggest news stories of the day. The focus is usually on Asia and world events.
I like this podcast for several reasons. First, it's short and to the point. This allows listeners to get caught up on world events without having to devote too much time to it. Second, its span is global. It's a nice change to get news that is not centered on North America or Europe. Third, this podcast sounds very professional. You won't have to deal with extraneous noise or the other problems that some podcasts are prone to. Asia Cast definitely gets 4 stars in my book.
