Great News Podcast
This podcast is great in that it is brief and reports clearly with reliable sources and unbiased content. Love keeping up using Up First and listen to it daily to start my morning routine.
Five stars
Such a great way to catch up on the news. I’m in NZ - and listen first thing in the morning to hear about what’s happened while I was asleep.
Very helpful
