  • Great speakers and nice daily news

    I really enjoy listening to this podcast every morning while getting ready. I really love the voice of Abriana Herron. She seems really passionate about the things she talks about. The podcast is short enough for me to pay attention to and is cool to consume a short form news.

  • I’m in awe

    WFYI has outdone itself with this stunning news product. Abriana and Darian are the two best hosts I’ve heard in my entire life and this has increased my news awareness across Indianapolis and Indiana one thousand fold. The only people who will skip this show are fools, idiots, and morons. I suspect Kendall is the mastermind behind this because only a once in a generation mind could have conceived of something this informative, powerful, and brilliant.
