Transcript

The New Yorker NPR understands your curiosity is boundless, but your time isn't. That's why they make Up First, the three biggest news stories of the day, with the reporting and analysis to understand them in under 15 minutes. Up First doesn't just bring you headlines or soundbites. It brings you the context you need to stay informed as you start your day. And Up First does something most daily news shows don't. It asks better questions to get better answers. Not just what happened, but how it came about, why it's a big deal, and what happens next. Three stories, fully reported, every morning in under 15 minutes. I just listened to the Up First episode that helped unpack recent Supreme Court decisions surrounding interpretations of the 14th Amendment. Other stories included the Colorado primaries, where a 29-year-old Democratic socialist defeated the 15-term incumbent, and the World Cup, where the competition and the weather are heating up. Follow NPR's Up First podcast so you can understand what matters and what happens next. It's hard news through a human lens.
