Concise, informative, news
They identify the most important stories of the day, and deliver them in a crisp, professional package. An essential part of my morning. I am not sure what podcast is being referenced by all the reviews complaining about bias, but the reviews all seem to follow the same narrative. “I used to listen to up first but recently it’s become biased too far to the left.” There is usually no concrete evidence given, and any anecdotes that are shared mostly confirm that NPR is being unbiased. I’ve listened to every regular episode, and my only comment is that these reporters are professional and follow the high journalistic standards we should be demanding from all news media.

More reviews of Up First
If you need a quick morning round up of the top news of the day, this is fantastic. The Daily is fantastic too, but sometimes gets too mired in the weeds for someone who just wants a quick recap.
