Up First

Up First is a daily news podcast by the American media organization NPR, which releases an episode every weekday at 6:30 a.m. ET, Saturdays at 9 a.m. ET, and Sundays by 8 a.m ET. Up First gives a brief overview of each news item in its weekday and Saturday episodes, unlike some of NPR's other popular news podcasts which provide a deep exploration of each story. The Sunday edition of the podcast varies between originally produced content for the feed and showcasing previously published episodes for NPR's various long-form journalism podcasts.
