Vocal fry, up talk :(
I love the content of this podcast. The reporters are obviously intelligent but they sound the opposite with all the vocal fry and up talk. It sounds as though they are questioning what’s coming out of their mouth. It’s terrible. There are sound effects or music added that don’t fit in; they break up the show and are jarring and interrupt the show. I keep trying to listen to this podcast but cannot get through even half each time. It’s grueling. Why has this become so popular with many podcasts I used to enjoy but no longer with the valley girl, fry, up talk, and filler words?

I've been listening for a week, and I'm hooked. It's been uniformly excellent, and this Friday's episode about guns and suicide as a public health issue was particularly powerful, informative, and moving. Recommended highly as a source beyond the headlines. I hope this keeps going.Read full review »

These are great, short but in-depth episodes — always interesting, always providing more info behind the headlines. The title “Today Explained” makes it sound like the topics will be related to the news of the day (like NYT The Daily) and this isn’t that. But it is 5 episodes a week of awesomeness.
