Reliable, abbreviated version of Morning Edition
Up First is a great way to get a quick glimpse into the news of the day. By listening to the podcast every morning, I’m able to get a general overview of the news and learn which news topics I want to dive deeper into later in my day. This podcast has saved me so much time and I’m so grateful. Also, to anyone complaining of pop culture being included, I completely disagree. They never share anything petty. What is (rarely!) shares are events that happen seldom and are important to the everyday national conversation. I personally don’t follow or know much about pop culture so I’m always grateful when they share important events so I’m not completely out of the loop with my colleagues and friends.

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 »

I came here excited because I love NPR's podcasts but I feel like this is an attempt at a ripoff of The Daily and it does a poor job. I feel that the news is irrelevant and I am bored the entire time. Listen to The Daily, it's this podcast's hotter older sister 😊Read full review »
