Hey, it's A. Martinez. The news can feel like a lot on any given day, but you can't just ignore

the news when important world-changing events are happening. That is where the Up First podcast comes in.

Every single morning, in under 15 minutes, we take the news and boil it down to three essential stories.

You can keep up without feeling stressed out. Listen up first from NPR on the IHeart

Radio app or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up everyone? Julie Swirpink's here along with

Julie is pretty well connected.

She has text threads going that you wouldn't believe.
