Finally!
I have been hoping the Post would make this a podcast. I already subscribe to the written format on email. This podcast is now my favorite way to find out fast the top line news — and I’ve tried them all. The other podcasts that try to do this are either too long, too short,and/ or have jangly music that makes me instantly feel anxious and hurts my head, though I generally love many kinds of music (looking at you, NPR Up First). I just cannot. Though if I want a much deeper dive into recent events in podcast form, I do go to NPR Morning Edition. The Seven quickly lets you know whether the sky is falling or the Second Coming is here — and having ascertained that, the most significant developments of the day so you can carry on in peace until you have time to get a more detailed news download later. The stories are crisply and calmly reported— no slant apparent in how they’re told — which is especially important in such a distilled daily news dose. You might argue with what they choose for “the Seven” news items, but I think they generally hit the most important national and world events for American audiences to be aware of as we start each particular day. Well done and thanks!!

Really enjoy the host who seems to be hitting his stride, and the format. The only request I have is to smooth the transitions between stories— some of the musical transitions are a little jarring.
