Up First vs. The Daily: Discussion vs. Interview
Up First and The Daily are very different podcasts. Up First is a brief discussion of current headlines. They find their bytes then tailor the discussion around them. The Daily does brief interviews, then after the fact inserts sound bytes to confirm and elaborate on what was said. The Daily feels jerky to me. I never know when a new sound byte is coming. They've gotten better since their premier, but I still prefer the discussion-based podcast of Up First. On a side note, Up First, that first chime in your theme song is grating to hear first thing in the morning. Please consider mellowing it out.Read full review »
