Thank you USA Today
The music is a nice start to my day.
Best portion of my lineup
I’ve got a few major news podcasts lined up every morning. 5 things is one I enjoy most, it’s fair and to the point
Another Bias Podcast
I’m an Independent voter, and I was hoping this podcast would be more unbiased, but it turns out to be the same as the other news networks.
