Up First from NPR

I love this show. It’s my first listen in the morning on my walks. Except when Ayesha Rascoe hosts. I can’t bear her voice. Like chalk on a blackboard. Otherwise, awesome.

I really liked the episode that brought a couple of faith leaders into the political conversation to unpack their views. More helpful would have been if one of those leaders had been from a white evangelical church. That was a view clearly absent and would have, if done respectfully, really brought out and clarified some disagreements.

I like Up First because of the length, the unbiased and clear reporting. Especially in the cultural and political climate we are in now, this is refreshing. There is no cussing, no inappropriate name calling, lying or gaslighting. Just the facts in a short digestible bite. Well done, keep up the good work!

I like the short summaries of what’s going on while I drive to work. It’s direct, unbiased and informative and starts my day feeling like I know what’s happening.
