Cool project—I tried to subscribed to the podcast, to check it out. But I couldn’t find it on pocketcasts, so I didn’t (didn’t seem worth me using a 2nd platform).
I wanted to subscribe because I’ve wanted an audio feed that will help me be in touch with events outside my more specific areas of interest that i hear about through niche channels while I commute, while not going quite as broad / un-curated as the BBC news (which I currently use for this) -- and this seemed like potentially a good middle ground.
tiny other feedback: the title feels aggressive to me vs. some nearby alternatives (e.g. just “relevance news” or something) - since it nearly states that anything that is not there is not actually relevant at all, which is a fairly strong claim I could see people getting unhappy about.
I submitted the podcast to PocketCasts. I should be available within a few days. (Also Podchaser and a few others I had missed.)
I agree that “Actually Relevant” can come off as dismissive or confrontational. I’ll check how big of an issue this is for other people. Maybe we can balance this impression somehow with other aspects of the service. I’m hesitant about changing the name as that would be quite a hassle.

Thanks so much for the feedback!
