A lot of short daily news podcasts focus on just one story, but right now you probably need more.
On Up First from NPR, we bring you three of the world's top headlines every day in under 15 minutes,
because no one story can capture all that's happening in this big,
crazy world of ours on any given morning.
Listen now to the Up First podcast from NPR.
