    The News Junkie podcast is undoubtedly one of the best shows out there. Hosted by Shawn, Sabrina, and C-lane, the podcast provides a refreshing take on news from different viewpoints, allowing for great banter and discussions. What sets this podcast apart is that it's not overcrowded with too many voices like some other podcasts can be. This allows for a more focused and engaging listening experience. Over the past five years of listening to this podcast, I have found it to be informative, intelligent, and non-biased. The hosts are incredibly funny and have a knack for delivering news in an entertaining way that keeps me engaged throughout each episode.

    One of the best aspects of The News Junkie podcast is the chemistry between the hosts. Shawn, Sabrina, and C-lane have a natural camaraderie that shines through in their conversations. Their hilarious banter and quick wit make for an enjoyable listening experience. Additionally, Shawn's middle-of-the-road point of view adds an interesting perspective to the discussions.

    Another great aspect of this podcast is its ability to balance humor with informative content. The hosts manage to deliver news in a way that is both entertaining and educational. They cover a variety of topics ranging from current events to pop culture with witty commentary that keeps listeners engaged.

    However, there are some minor drawbacks to The News Junkie podcast. Occasionally, the show can veer off topic or spend too much time on irrelevant tangents. While these moments can still be entertaining, they may detract from the overall focus of delivering news.
