Unbiased Updates

Straight Arrow News built its brand around one idea: fact-based news without partisan spin. Their Unbiased Updates podcast is the audio extension of that mission, hosted by Craig Nigrelli five days a week. Each episode runs just a few minutes and gives you the day's leading stories in a compact, no-commentary format. The show launched in 2023 and has already published over 650 episodes, maintaining a 4.6-star rating on Apple Podcasts. Straight Arrow News as an organization was founded specifically to fill the gap between left-leaning and right-leaning news outlets, and the podcast reflects that founding purpose. The reporting focuses on what happened, who's involved, and what the verified facts are. Nigrelli's delivery is clean and professional. Each episode moves through several stories quickly, and the editorial approach is deliberately restrained -- you won't hear opinion-laden language or loaded framing. For listeners who find even supposedly neutral outlets frustrating, the stripped-back approach is refreshing. The brevity is both the strength and the limitation here. At just a few minutes per episode, you're getting headlines and essential context, not deep analysis. Think of it as a news flash rather than a news show. If you already listen to a longer daily podcast and want a quick midday or evening check-in that sticks to reporting, Unbiased Updates fills that role well. The Straight Arrow News website and video content complement the podcast if you want to go deeper on any story.
