ABC News Daily

One of the shortest shows here and the easiest to fit into a commute. In each episode of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's daily, host Samantha Hawley walks through one story with an ABC colleague or expert in under 15 minutes. The ABC is Australia's public broadcaster, and the tight running time forces a clear explanation with no detours. That makes it a reliable way to hear what Australians are actually debating without needing any background first.
