  • Robert Appelbaum
    Biased news
    I have always revered BBC. No longer. You are so obviously biased against Israel, that you lose all credibility. Where are you daily (2x per day) reports about Sudan- losses worse than Palestine, Ethiopia- losses worse than Palestine, Mymar- losses greater than Palestine. Why are you not having stories of the daily suffering of families in these countries? The Israel/Palestinian war is terribly sad, but so are all of the others, and all deserve the same coverage and attention. I suppose I should vote with my feet.
  • FireShield95
    "One Young World" episode was awful
    The first issue was that you basically just accepted what they said and didn't challenge them at all. Probably because you agree with their agenda. The second issue is that with the way you worded it ("what would the world be like if young people were in charge?"), you made it seem like these people represent all young people. They don't. Not all of us are authoritarian control freaks like the people you talked to in that episode.
  • Charlotte Burgman
    News? Sometimes
    Kylie Minogue is happy … really?! Yet nothing about several important events going on in the world … What is going on at the BBC? Genuine question
  • Novice to expert
    Unbalanced toward Israel
    The reports are highly biased against Israel. Israel is not targeting hospitals or schools or apartments. They are targeting the death cult that is Hamas and Hezbollah. Both factions are so cowardly they hide among civilians. That part isn’t reported by BBC. Only that Israel bombed an apartment…etc. Just more of the same old story- the scapegoating of Jews. This reporting foments antisemitism. BBC has consistently some of the most biased reporting I have heard.
  • TheRealSnowmanJake
    A little too……. Israeli
    Why does it always seem like you’re telling the story from the Israeli murderers side?!? They are genecidal freaks and you supporting them pisses me off and makes me not want to listen to your podcast anymore. Information should be presented without bias. Don’t recommend to anyone, democracy now is WAY better.
  • TheDudeAbided
    The chime has got to go!
    Good coverage, always informative, but could we please lose that annoying loud chime before the podcast ads?!? Really not good on the ears when listening in headphones :-(
  • Nick Name Mitch
    Return to Even Reporting
    From the US, when I was growing up, we were often told to look at the BBC for reporting because it lacked the bias of national media. That time has passed. Every segment on the podcast has transparent bias. I’m not saying I necessarily disagree with the points of view, but I’m capable of forming my own opinion, I just want the facts. Please return to just reporting facts. The US needs an alternative from Fox News and CNN, not more of the same.
  • Pro Podcast listener
    What’s happening?
    I thought this was an unbiased news network. I chose to listen to the bbc over our local clearly biased news networks because of this. Now I’m listening to free Kamala publicity. I guess the Democratic Party got in the bbc’s pockets as well.
  • MegaJCal1989
    My favorite source of news!
    I love listening to the Global News Podcast! This podcast gives me a half-hour summary of news occurring around the world each day. I have been listening to this podcast for years, and it is by far my favorite news source. The BBC Global News team is by far the greatest and most professional team of experts in the field of broadcasting. Hands down, I give it a 5-star rating!
  • goldfngr2000
    News ALERT!! The BBC IS FAR LEFT, ULTRA WOKE Nerwork
    The BBC ARE AND HAVE BEEN for over 3 decades a far left wing network! If its LEFT: The BBC ARE ALL IN, they hate and despise Jewish peoples, embrace, coddle and protect Arab nations including all the terrorist state players. BBC swallows global warming wholesale.. no probing questions. It’s gospel to BBC, and never offer a voice to any of the Climate whistle blowers who come forward to offer alternative data. The BBC FULLY EMBRACES importing every destitute illegal immigrant into the UK with a zero scrutiny of their intentions to live their lives off the citizens taxes indefinitely. Wake Up British Citizens NOW!
  • RobbieLendv4y
    Extremely biased
    Doesn’t cover any of the actual realities being experienced around Europe and America, only focuses on hyper liberal stories. Extremely left leaning and extremely biased, nearly untrue news reporting. Exhausting to listen to.
  • 2PsInAPodcast
    Journalism??
    How can you not report about the THREE LITTLE GIRLS unalived in your own country??!! Wow I’m appalled that the BBC bias has become this extreme. SHAMEFUL.

  • chostefuse
    Prounoun it right
    In today’s episode about Biden stepping away Kamala Harris and Senator Amy Klobuchar’s names are repeatedly mispronounced by the journalists🫣 I rely on the BBC for accurate news. Living in America I find myself watching and listening to the news less as there are fewer reliable news sources. I love the BBC and your global news podcast, but come on guys, you can do better than this. Find out how to correctly pronounce Vice President Kamala Harris’s name please.
  • goodvsevil
    Hey there to all my British cousins!
    (American here) So there was an article about Combover Caligula being inches from death, etc... Sure bullets were flying past him, hitting other people; but Im pretty convinced he was hit by glass. Otherwise he'd let his dr talk, and he'd release records. Just remember, he lies about everything.
  • Kms2nnnnnnn
    Why end the episode on a false statement
    I enjoy the podcast but I just heard President Biden stating he was in 15 time zones the week before the debate. CNN reported that as a false statement. Why would you end your reporting July 12 with him stating something false. It gave him an excuse for his performance. Now I wonder if the show is politically biased. I am trying to find news that is only fact-based so I’m disappointed.
  • mountainlivin
    5 stars for never having Steve Bannon back on
    Love this podcast but the lasted episode with Steve Bannon makes me want to rip my headphones out of my ears. Could he not be muted instead of repeating the same words and talking over the host? I’d rather not listen to that nuisance again.
  • Crispi

    Meticulous, broad in scope and interesting in presentation, my favorite news podcast.

    Bias against Palestinians
    Absurdly biased towards Israel! Gazan lives are worth just as much as anyone else’s
  • errorreel
    Zionist colonial propaganda
    This podcast twists truth which results in complicity in the genocide of Palestine. Palestinians are being killed en masse by Israel funded by American dollars. Shame on this “journalism”
  • RSE*T
    Israel bombed Iran’s Consulate
    This makes Iran’s retaliation a RESPONSE, not an unprecedented “attack”. If Israel did not want this, they should not have bombed Iran’s Consulate, killing Iranians on sovereign territory. That was out of line. Period. Now the two are “equal” in war terms. I do not support war and violence in general but do not misrepresent the facts and portray Iran as being the aggressor here, deserving of yet another Israel strike. Israel is a rogue, criminal apartheid state as factually proven by their treatment of civilians in Gaza. Let’s stay with the facts and not use Iranian’s one night response as tactic to distract from the real problem. Israel.

    DONE WITH BBC
    PRO-HAMMAS BIAS overshadows every single report, it’s sickening. This isn’t NEWS, it’s a WOKE SPIN - everything they report is through a lenses of either RACISM or CLIMATE CHANGE … I’m done.

    The quality of journalism at the BBC has become an embarrassment to the UK
    Between the corrections, apologies, lawsuits and just flat out unprofessional and shorty reporting the BBC has become a shell of itself and an embarrassment on the nation. Your pro hamas coverage has been flat out disgusting
  • Eleonoe
    Very biased and getting worse every day
    Looking for something more fact based and balanced.

  • Usergdhdu$;
    Simply disgraceful
    The BBC’s coverage of Israel’s war in Gaza is shameful, but the 11/jan/24 episode was too much, even for them. Their usual un-subtle pro-Israel bias, the way they qualify with “Hamas-reported” every single time they must mention the almost 30k Palestinians that have been killed by Israel to invalidate them. The way they focus mainly on the Israeli victims of oct 7, 3+ months and 22,000+ dead palestinians later. The subtle and unsubtle ways they simply gaslight listeners. Just shameful. A disgrace, that a “respectable” legacy, traditional news source uses its prestige to bend the truth and disrespect facts just every single day now. To think that people rely on them for news, and eat this misinformation up, is just appalling.
  • Awetyyyyyyy
    Portrayal of captive hostage interviews is disappointing
    Shame on BBC for broadcasting recordings or any representation of hostages made by combatants holding those interviewed. Broadcasting audio recordings of an elderly Israeli held by Hamas as if the portrayal represents anything other than the interests of the captors is so inappropriate, invasive and absurd as to represent a total disregard of a vulnerable person. BBC may be without a moral compass, or without a business ethics compass, if this is considered acceptable.
  • just a random fan
    Good source for news
    Some say it leans left or even supports Hamas. I don’t agree. To my ears it is reporting what is happening in the world, not placing a value on it.

  • AFMD
    Anti-Semitic Trash
    I am appalled that the people running this trash take the words of terrorists as established facts, and complain that the Israelis need to just ‘get over’ what happened on 10/7. This one sided bigotry has forever ruined my faith that this network has the capacity for any objectivity whatsoever. Everyone who has enabled that bigotry should be deeply ashamed, and should have no place in the news business.
  • nothappytodaythanks
    Hamas is not a news source
    Seriously becoming a vehicle for global antisemitism is not a future I’d have predicted for the BBC, but here you are. I’ve had it with this one sided coverage. On October 7th Israeli civilians - women, men, children, the elderly - were brutally raped, tortured, massacred, and kidnapped. They are still held hostage in the tunnels of Gaza. TELL THE TRUTH.
  • Mimienyc
    Was my go to for world News … not anymore.
    After Oct 7, 2023, BBC has become nothing but a propaganda arm for Hamas. Disgusting to say the least. You know the “Gaza ministry of health” is Hamas and you still parrot their lies and propaganda. Since when is the BBC a mouthpiece for ISIS? For Hezbollah? For the Taliban? Hamas. It’s all the same. Disgust me beyond belief.
  • AmericaWon'tSaveYou
    J6 Sham Support by BBC
    J6 Committee support on this podcast is representative of BBC bias in this podcast. They come off like Americans are Trumpsters or Bidets. No one in my orbit falls in either category. We want to be free without all of the Democrat division. For most of us our gender and sexual preferences are a small part of life-not our whole life. This J6 committee is a political scam and this podcast pushes like it is fact based. That is a terrible lie.
  • Nnnnnn12*
    Yes, please!!
    Could we have more of the Happy Pod, please?? I immediately looked for more episodes on the list. Thanks!
  • DareBoBear
    lefty bias, & enough with the climate already!
    large, well, sourced, international news organization… the lefty bias is not as bad as in some other outlets, but it is still prevalent. for instance, when they talk about Trump, who I am not a fan of, but what an outfit like the BBC cannot comprehend is that Biden is every bit as scummy as Trump, just in different ways. they have been just tripping over themselves of late to show "both sides" about Israel, even though there is absolutely zero moral equivalence in this struggle, sorry to say to all you Jew-haters reading this. but what really wore me down over time is the incessant, neverending climate crap. They just hammer you over the head with it. Any story remotely related to the weather goes to the front of the line… And of course every weather event is connected to, you guessed it, "climate change," the modern world's most virtuous secular religion. I am switching to Reuters, which is shorter, and so far appears to be less agendized.
  • Mieggs
    Review
    I like the news podcast however I think the same subject broken up could be reduced to one podcast maybe two. Depending on the subject and the day of the event. With the conflict in Israel. Stop being misleading and stop adding biases. Just share the news and updates going on there
  • RAKGB
    Thrilled the Happy Pod is here to stay!
    There is so much grim news in the world that it's easy to forget how much good there is out there. The Happy Pod is a wonderful way of remembering that and, of course, the Global News Podcast is much appreciated as well. Great work, BBC! May we have the Happy Pod more than once a week, please?
  • Genie
    Bad journalism
    The new low for BBC. Reporting on unproven/unconfirmed information and not retracting previously false reports. Also, to level set: hamas had been designated as a terrorist organization in 1997 by US, EU and others. They have taken power by force and intimidation and had been terrorizing Palestinians and Israelis for quite some time. BBC = biggest bulls*%ing cu*ts
  • KatherineW1313
    Biased coverage
    Your coverage of the Israel-Palestine conflict gives significantly more space to Zionists and people who support Israel’s genocide than you give to people who want to situate this conflict in historical settler colonialism. You are creating a narrative that erases the history of ethnic cleansing and settler colonialism in Palestine that led to this conflict. The British like Americans have a responsibility to acknowledge their part in the murder of civilians.
  • Randall Hunt
    Using Hamas as a source.
    How is a terrorist group like Hamas a legitimate citation for a headline. Didn’t anyone learn from the stupidity of the “hospital missile strike” debacle??
  • kristi history
    Shame on bbc
    Why are you covering yourself in moral filth by treating horror terror mongers like heads of state? You’ve lost all credibility Lying about the hospital bombing serving as their mouthpiece. Spreading terror by spreading lies. Shame.
