LNA NOW! podcast cover art
Good morning! This is LNA NOW!, the daily morning news podcast from Life News Agency. It’s Friday, so Lina, Lee AI, Bria, Ernie AI, Ateng and Azrul are in full weekend mood. Laura calls in from Washington, Ernie AI has entertainment, Ateng brings the sports (in his “very fast” racing jacket) and Azrul covers gaming, once Bria wakes him up.
Grab your kopi or teh tarik and catch up on the morning’s stories, from Malaysia and around the world.
