The Intelligence from The EconomistThe easiest daily habit to start with. Every weekday Jason Palmer and Rosie Blau pick three stories from The Economist's correspondents around the world, usually pairing politics or business with something odd and delightful you would never have searched for. Because it comes out of a London…0 - 2
Today in FocusIf you like the one-story format of a big American daily, this is the same idea pointed at Britain. The Guardian's weekday show gives a single story room to breathe, built around the paper's own reporting and the people at the heart of the story rather than a panel of pundits. Expect British…0 - 3
The News AgentsThree BBC journalists, Emily Maitlis, Jon Sopel and Lewis Goodall, left the corporation to start this weekday show with Global in August 2022, and it shows: the conversation is looser and more opinionated than anything they could do on the BBC.

The DecibelCanada's second essential daily, and the one to pick if policy and money interest you most. The Globe and Mail's show runs Monday to Friday with host Menaka Raman-Wilms, and its motto, context is everything, is a fair promise: each episode takes one story and walks through it with a reporter or…0 - 9
ABC News DailyOne 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…0 - 10
7amAustralia's independent alternative to the public broadcaster. 7am describes itself as featuring the country's best reporters, covering the news as it affects Australia, and that focus on consequences is its strength: the question running through each episode is what a story means for the people…0
