    Love Jenna!
    I love listening to Jenna and love the way she reports but phew this latest one with the guy regarding Russia was rough. All I got from this guy is that America needs to be sending unlimited funds to Russia even “at great financial hardship” to our own people. With no accountability or responsibility from Ukraine regarding how they’re using our money. Sorry buddy, majority of Americans don’t want that at all and you did nothing to convince me otherwise. Jenna kept trying and trying to get more from him but he was just spouting absurdities.

    Quick hits are great!
    Thanks so much for your reporting and a quick listen as I drive. So so thankful.

    Concise without commentary
    Jenna’s reviews are calming and concise without commentary. I do wonder however if in her efforts to remain nonpartisan, she explicitly avoids fact checking controversial topics or refuting false statements. Her reviews are broad to appeal to both sides without stepping on toes. How to get detailed actual facts without endless opinion bloviating? I’m still searching but appreciate Jenna’s approach as it doesn’t leave me wanting to tear my hair out.

    Quick Hit 5 stars!
    I love these new quick hit podcast! It is great to listen to what is going on right now without having to listen to long podcast, which I love Jenna’s long podcasts too! I usually listen while getting ready. Also when Jenna says she is non partisan she means it! She is always respectful of all sides. She is a real jewel in news media!

    Non partisan, Low drama
    The news is stressful enough without reporters taking sides and being over dramatic for ratings. With SmartHerNews I stay informed with less anxiety. I’m so tired of networks and reporters telling me how I should think and feel. I am an intelligent woman. SmartHerNews respects me enough to give me just the facts, so can decide where I stand. Such a breath of fresh air!

    True NON PARTISAN news
    This is what news should be. News should NOT push a political “side”. It is sharing facts of who, what, when, where and why so we can make up our own minds. We don’t need more commentary, we need to go back to some real journalism, and that is what SmartHer News gives.

  • BaldwinFam3
    Perfect !
    Missing the long form podcasts since we live in Germany now and can’t be on to listen to them live, but the quick hits are a great addition ! Love the unbiased, nonpartisan reporting. It’s great to hear both sides of the story.
  • sniemitz
    News without anxiety
    The only news source I listen to where, when it’s over, I am more curious, less judgmental, more informed, and less anxious. In an era when many of us in the middle are just skipping news altogether for our sanity, this is a breath of fresh air AND genuinely helpful. As a mom of 4, I also appreciate the quick!! Life is so much more than news, but the news still matters. Thanks Jenna!!
  • Johnna L Smith
    A much needed dose of sanity!
    Jenna and her team at Smarther News are true trailblazers in the world of independent, non-partisan news. I start my news journey with Jenna every Monday on Scoop and then read other news sites to get opinions. Jenna is just about the facts and sets a great foundation for the week! Definitely worth the investment in my sanity!

    Clear, concise bullet points
    Jenna is like having a bestie who understands SO much about news events. She breaks it down into easy to consume bites, non partisan and relatable.

    News without the Anxiety- just facts!
    I try to stay informed and knowledgeable about the news. I would listen to podcasts that lean toward my beliefs but would get hot headed just like the reporters. I was finding podcasts, news reports and articles to be not only anxiety inducing but also infuriating at time. Selling fear and extremes- using headlines to manipulate the public. A friend recommended this podcast and it has been life changing. Fact-based, level-headed reporting. I find myself a smarter consumer of the media, and their strategies. I understand what both point of views are. I actually receive information that I can use and digest to form my own opinion. This extends beyond politics, but to world news and cultural stories as well. As we know feelings are valid, but not always fact. Thank you, Jenna!
  • HMS0505
    Jenna is Queen
    I love listening to Jenna! In a day and age where truly non partisan info is almost non existent, I so appreciate her explanation of the current events of our day. I also love how she mingles US history into her dialogue offering valuable perspective and understanding to what seems to ail our country in the present. Thank you for the inspired work you do!
  • Meredithreformed
    This is news!
    I feel so respected by Jenna as an intelligent person who can form my own opinions. She offers behind the scene insights into how news work, which I find super helpful. We need more news like this in the mainstream.

  • D for Driver
    SmartEST News
    Since I started listening to SmartHer news, I feel, literally, smarter. The network news shows almost all feel biased or exploitative, SmartHer news is educational and never feels biased. When I watch the news, or see news posts on social media, I feel anxious and overwhelmed. I feel like I have no real control or influence over my world. It makes me want to cry. I shut down and simply don’t watch anymore. SmartHer News has reawakened my interest in important events in our country and in our world. I am grateful this platform exists and appreciate Jenna’s authenticity and her sincerity and approach to providing non-partisan, fact-based timely and relevant information, that actually makes me feel like I am informed and current. I enjoy every aspect of SmartHer News and highly recommend it. If you are going to get your news from somewhere, this is the place to get facts!

    The News We Need!!
    I don’t know why it took me so long to find out about SmartHer news but I now subscribe to her on YouTube, follow her podcast and Instagram, and share the Scoop with every intelligent, thinking person I know. So appreciate her non-partisan, level, thorough coverage and interesting delivery of all the latest news and why it matters. I’d give her her own network if I could.

    This News source is a gift
    In a sea of partisan news sites trying to get clicks and views for $, SmartHer News is a true gift! I appreciate Jenna’s commitment to curiosity, thoughtfulness, and smart contribution to the news cycle. She makes me calmer AND smarter about the news.
  • Astrukel
    Absolutely my favorite source for news
    Jenna gives it to us straight, with facts, not opinions and editorializing. She trusts her readers and listeners to make up their own mind with the information that’s available, and doesn’t try to get us on one side or manufacture rage. I’m much better informed and less anxious about the news since I started getting it from SmartHerNews.
  • Mobjen1
    Quick. Concise. TRULY Non-partisan!
    Jenna has created something unique in this space. She doesn’t editorialize, doesn’t inject her own opinions, and she is a breath of fresh air. The way she reports is calming, does not “stir the pot” and let’s us, the audience, draw our own conclusions. She trusts us and gives us what we need to know in an unbiased way. She is helping save our republic.

    Jenna does the hard work
    I listen to Jenna because she asks the tough questions, she goes above and beyond for all angles & all sides to give you the total picture of a topic, a situation. Jenna & smartHerNews goes far beyond the typical media source to leave you curious, but informed.

    The Perfect News Report!
    Jenna reports what you need to know and why it’s important! She’s calm, concise and trustworthy!
  • Kayla6416
    Only News Source
    I found Jenna’s work and platform during the early pandemic. Since then, she is the immediate source I go to for big headlines and information because I know I will get answers to my questions and understand the impact of what is happening. She lets us think for ourselves and develop our own opinions without throwing more bias into the mix. Her platforms are the only news platforms I follow and trust.
  • FitOilsMomma
    Best fact-centered news without bias!
    I’ve been listening for a while on Instagram and Jenna does such a good job of presenting the facts and why they matter, without an angle. I walk away from her interviews wondering “so how do I feel about this?” instead of emotions fed to me by a reporter or news clip. Well worth following!!
  • merri_____
