Strong Start, Very Disappointing Swing
I was excited to try out a news podcast that would give me the bite size details of today's important stories. Podcast started strong, then took a swing to Beyoncé/Jay-Z anniversary chatter. Why? Closing out the podcast discussing the "Queen" completely put a sour taste in my mouth. I'm a 25-year old looking to escape the constant bombardment of the Kardashians/People Magazines/etc. Apparently, this is not the place. I didn't come to a NPR news podcast for TMZ-style celeb gossip nonsense. How is that remotely one of the most important news headlines to include in a 12 minute segment? Boggles my mind. I will give the podcast another listen. Fingers crossed they realize it'd be better to set themselves apart than to be one of countless other institutions covering celeb "news"Read full review »

Perfect for catching up on news with morning coffee or dog walk.

Great quality show. Love the concept but would like a more broad range of topics instead of so much depth on just a couple topics. Off to a great start. Brilliant idea for a show.

An excellent thoughtful first look at the day's news, in true NPR style, ultra-timely and not afraid to go deep. Must listen first every day! Love this. Thanks NPR!Read full review »
