Hey, it's Martine.

Happy Tuesday and good morning.

So I'm not usually in your feed this early,

but last month, the Washington Post launched something

very exciting and I wanted to give you the chance

to hear it right here.

So the seven is our new morning podcast

and I have become totally addicted.

It's short, it's punchy, it comes out every day by seven a.m.

And the guy who hosts it is my colleague Jeff Pierre.

He is the voice you wanna hear in the morning.

He's clear, he's calming and listening to him tell you the news

is like coming downstairs in the morning

to find a hot cup of coffee just waiting for you.

So for this week, while the post report's crew

takes a little breather during the holidays,

we are bringing you the seven.

If you like starting your morning with Jeff,

make it a part of your new year's routine.
