nellas04You hit the nail on the head about who pays tariffsI own a manufacturing company and we import raw materials. We are charged immediately at the port the full amount. The foreign company that sends us the materials has no intentions of lowering their cost because they know we need it. One supplier went so far as to ask us how we were going to pay him in cash if he had to pay the tariff.

Jbev43 Stories is Just Right - Love the pre-production banterThis is a nice way for my day to start. Three stories is just right. A couple minutes on each gives me enough of a summary to decide if I want to research more. I enjoy the hosts and really like the preproduction banter that makes it into the show opening occasionally. The banter from Leila Fadel and A Martinez this week had me laughing (nice on a news show)! And the show does a nice job of trying to get multiple views when helpful or at least offer opposing viewpoints to comment and telling listeners if no response - or if story is on a financial supporter.

i <3 youGood content, annoying banterDon’t love the banter at the top of the show. Up First is supposed to be a succinct news briefing to start your day, and wasting time with awkward banter at the top is cringey. It’s not cute or funny or endearing - it’s annoying and obnoxious.

TattyfoesMisleading InformationIt’s frustrating and misleading that every time NPR reports on the facts and figures coming out of Gaza, they present the numbers as-is, without immediately clarifying that they come from Hamas—a designated terrorist organization. This approach feels misleading and makes it really difficult to trust the accuracy of their broader reporting.

Activite Pop UserRemarkable ReportingThank you for deep, consistent, & moving reporting of stories that the television news does not provide time for. The Return to Gaza story is heartbreaking.

shikawgoScreeching SundaysI don’t know how or why Ayesha Roscoe was hired for a radio show. She possibly has the most annoying voice I’ve ever heard. I know I’m not alone with this annoyance, as it’s all over internet complaints. Seriously, NPR, there are countless other voices that could’ve been hired. Whoever thought she’d make for a good radio host is tone deaf and clueless.

thetrueaaronrogersAwfulTerrible voices. Who gave these people access to a microphone?

rewfitbitOne-sidedThis podcast is a great example why I don’t give these npr $$$

JayEss17MSourcingLove fairness and typically enjoy knowing I can trust the information. Today’s show references Trump’s claims from Trump’s own social media - basic rules for integrity of information and trusting news don’t follow those standards. Very disappointing.

sydkidd02I used to really like NPR..I just want two sides to things. I am a democrat/liberal even but I want to hear two sides to the story. This podcast is overly biased and hard to listen to now. It’s not reporting news anymore it’s perpetuating a DNC agenda.
-
Mac an tSionnaighTorturous Screeching VoiceYou need to remove Ayesha Rascoe from the radio. Her screeching voice has ruined Sunday morning.

JerseyVioletWhen do episodes drop?Love the podcast, but when do episodes drop? Initially, it was by 6am, then by 7am. Now it’s past 8am and still no new episode for today. It’s hard to rely on this news source if it’s not uploaded consistently. Unpredictability of new episodes aside, generally it is one of my preferred news sources. Though when they cover the Hamas war, I’m glad I rely on a number of podcasts since their coverage on that topic isn’t unbiased.

Toto321Great way to start the news dayI really enjoy the pinpoint way the topics are addressed and the delivery. Keep up the good work.

jasonsyd2HopeI hope with the drying up of your financial resources through USAID and George Soros I don’t have to listen to this nonsensica drivel anymore.

DeeWhizzleEvery episode is liberal propagandaNonsense liberal media propaganda. They no longer just tell you the news without their liberal opinions. Now every news story has a liberal democrat agenda. Complete nonsense that has been proven to be false by independent podcasters like the NO AGENDA SHOW, Russel Brand, & others!
-
VidalrickGreat morning starterI love the podcast, so well done and to the point. I don’t start my day without it. And I’m loving the few initial seconds when they are preparing for starting the show and the funny banter, please continue with that and with the good work!

purpleliontreeUp First - propaganda machineThe worst preshow banter ever. So boring. I HATE that is stupid, biased show so much. Conservative, complicit reporting. The pandering to Israel is so gross. Israeli propaganda machine!!!!!!! I have listened to NPR regularly for 20 years and have appreciated having Up First to listen to... HOWEVER, I’m giving this podcast one star because of its total neglect of featuring important LGBTQ news stories. For example, yesterday the Trump administration erased transgender civil rights protection in healthcare!!!! Are you kidding me?!?!?!? This is HUGELY impactful in the most negative, hurtful, debilitating way. This president is stripping away trans rights right under our noses and Up First keeps silent about it. ALSO, this last week two transgender women of color were murdered, Riah Milton & Dominique Rem’mie Fells. Up First has nothing to say about it. I am wildly disappointed in you Up First.

Angie98865Good summary of the headlinesPlease stop the chit chat at the beginning of the episodes. It’s annoying and makes the episodes seem less professional

NY MarkProper journalismI prefer my news with experts and no propaganda. NPR has real journalists and discusses real issues.
-
Dee nyBanterYour banter is giving me hope these days in the midst of all of the tragic news. Thanks!
-
LPinkansasAlways come backGreats hosts. I am especially loving the first few seconds of banter between hosts. It is what I need to start the day with a well-rounded informative news bit. I halt all news on occasion and always come back for Up First.
-
Miller SvobodaFascinating!Love the content always. I just wish ALL the hosts could speak without shouting.
-
DaveOienHostCannot stand how the host speaks.

Sahm124Propaganda TrainingWe listen to this podcast daily on our way to school to discuss how to detect propaganda, bias and how highlighting different angles of the news is used to frame stories for certain narratives. NPR has become so obvious and blatant in their bias that we often laugh all the way to school. You’re to need to work harder to not let your disdain for ordinary Americans show, it’s bad.

Ajax0012Very left leaningJust another left leaning news podcast. My favorite was on 23Feb25, they did a hit piece on a conservative father where a father and a son did a bet of 10 things in 2024. They didn’t even talk about what the 10 pieces of the bet were… lol
-
aiden chen harry potterSome problemsLET AYESHA ROSCOE DO AT LEAST ON INTERVIEW instead of scott doing 3 every week, its not even alternating. try to look at this comment, come on. Also, theres a little bit too much bias whenever its concerning trump. LET AYESHA ROSCOE TALK MORE. Stop only let scott talk. its very annoying
-
JavSolNegative comments are a joke!!Good content that it is easily verifiable. Keep up the great work. All those haters in the comments simply don’t understand how to consume news, unless it is “parsed and analyzed” by the “experts”. And of course it has to align to they way of thinking or political leaning…. I think Fox I waiting for you over at their “news shows”

MyFeedback2UA True American Standard for Authentic News!There are several indispensable morning news podcasts I turn to. Up First is always Up First. Love the format, the broadcasters and content. Always a little smarter having listened to the daily broadcast. So happy to have a Saturday edition to wake up to.

The Been There Done That MomMy first listen every morning5⭐️ changed due to bias. Now 2⭐️ but I will listen in hopes you get better. Super helpful and informative summing up of all the important news stories of every day. I can’t fill my brain with stressful news all the time but I like to keep up with what’s important and Up First helps me do that. Edited to add that the anti-Israel slant crossed a line today when you said the act of sending a body other than Shiri Bibas was a mixup and saying the babies were slain but it wasn’t clear how. Both are blatantly inaccurate. The boys were brutally strangled and then beaten to try to make it look like an ISF strike had killed them. Do better!

Skakal my Skakal100% bias news you need!👎🏻

Tommy FasanoUp FirstHost are enjoyable. But not surprising completely one sided in the delivery of the news.

That's Not Important, PresentlyPlease drink waterSteven Fowler? Faller? Your mouth noises are killing me. Please drink some water or something.
-
TealiquaOpening banter needs to goThis is a note to the producers to remove the frivolous intros as a lead-in to very serious news. On 02/20, the hosts talked about their sleeps habits before launching into a story about bodies being returned to Israel. This isn’t YouTube, it’s NPR.

NYC to LouisvillePregnant people?Pregnant people it what were calling women now huh? Wow. I really want the Political Correctness to stop & to report sensibly.

Nicarson24Short Form Left Leaning Biased NewsIt’s wonderful hearing short formed summaries of the news around the world, but the left leaning bias is so obvious that it makes me concerned with the validity of the information being provided. Starting to sound like propaganda rather than “news.”
