Interesting news analysis

I am happy to be able to listen to this well produced summary of the days top news stories from the WSJ. Granted there are ads. They are not annoying to me and can be easily ignored as I have been doing for decades with most ads. I am glad that this item is included with my membership. Updated twice a day and concise enough to fit into my busy schedule.
