    Don’t dis Jonathan
    I love Ali but do NOT dis my beloved Jonathan Lemire!

    Ali is Better
    Replacing Lemire = great choice. Ali is so much better - smarter & more positive, less sports than Jon. The only change - please no more Brendan Buck, the troll who must be paying kickbacks to MSNBC bookers as he’s on most shows spewing proMAGA talking points. I fast forward over Buck & Michael Steele, who also pretends to be reformed.

    Morning habit
    Thank god there’s an informative news show with a great overview of daily highlights. Leave the punditry for the other shows. News. Weather. Sports

    We are awake
    Many of us watch your show because we work night shift. Frequently I watch your show because I haven't been able to sleep.

    Like the show but…
    Why isn’t it posted until *hours* after it’s aired? For example it’s 9:30 am , Morning Joe is up but not WTE, which aired before MJ. It’s posted Way Too Late.

    Background noise
    Mr. Lemire, Please quit sniffing and snorting in the background when others are speaking. It’s extremely distracting. Other then that, I enjoy your show and find it very informative. Thank you,

    Are you kidding?
    Four day old news rehash with 30% of playtime commercials? Eff this noise.
  • Not a fan of kw
    I love this show.
    This is the first show I listen to each day. I like it so much better than Morning Joe.

    What happened to my favorite podcast?
    The last newscast I can find from Jonathan Lamere is 7/7. ???? I prefer this show to Morning Joe - less chit chat, more substantive info. Where did it go??!!
  • Suzannekmoses
    One of my wake-up podcasts
    Quickly becoming one of my catch-up podcasts that I never miss. I much prefer this to Morning Joe.

    Like the show, but …
    I like Jonathan, but he speaks really fast and i miss some of what he’s saying. A lot of content, and interesting guests. Only, but strong dislike is the lead-in music is horrible. Absolute noise.

    Elections
    Please quit wasting time on the 2024 election. It’s two years away!
  • zekeultaviolet
    Finally the news and not just ego!
    Fantastic recap of top stories! News and more news. So tired or Joe’s ego and the endless self referential patter on other shows. Way Too Early is about quality content - excellent!
  • Dan HB
    Podcast ended?
    I have listened to this podcast faithfully for years but last week it stopped. No longer available in the apple feed. I hope it comes back.
  • George_____111
    Jonathan is fantastic!!!!
    Sharp and thorough news and analysis. Great regular at Morning Joe.
  • gray paw
    Good job!
    Crisp approach to what you need to know for the day. For those into the sports news— just enough! And you get the weather. Nice neat package!
  • VBSunny
    C’mon!!!
    Who was that idiot woman blaming Biden for the lack of Covid planning? Why are you @MSNBC putting people on the air who clearly have no place making judgement calls that have no basis in fact or science? If you want to blame DeSantis or other Republicans denying the efficacy of the vaccinations, then fine. But Biden?
  • hazelbnr
    Well…
    If you want to hear what the corporations that pay the salaries at MSNBC want us all to believe is reality, than this one is better than some. JL is not snarky, or obnoxious like Some of his colleague, and that is somewhat refreshing.
  • Bert Coghill
    Like w/o self promoting guess
    I like the MSNBC approach without the guests promoting their book, campaign, consulting firm. It gives me a start on the morning. I am in the Alaska time zone.
  • flyover land
    leaving MSNBC?
    I’ll follow u to CNN
  • CanuckBandit
    It’s been a while…
    I took a break from the endless news cycle and this morning thought I would return to listen to Kasie’s round up of news events. I was so disappointed to hear that the news media hasn’t learned anything since 2016 as all I heard was endless drivel about the last guy and how he was controlling the GOP. With everything going on in the world, this is what you chose to focus on???? Come on people, do better.
  • Patrick371!
    Start of every morning
    Love starting my mornings with K.H.
  • Nmdlw
    A Star ⭐
    Kasie Hunt does a great job - very pleasant, thorough and smoothly informative. These clips are too short though. Please play the full hour. Don't know when Kasie sleeps. She adds a lot to all the shows she appears in. I like her energy and knowledge base.
  • iSayitoutloud
    Too short
    I don’t see a need to subscribe to a 10-15 min podcast of a show that is 60 mins long. What the heck is the deal with not posting a all 60 mins??
  • cbrdh
    Great show to start the day.
    Are the full podcasts for Kasie’s show going to be available? These are just short clips.
  • valiant voter
    Too little time
    After enjoying two hours of KC DC on Sunday nights, I believe we deserve more than this less than a 15 minute session of Way Too Early. She delivers the facts in a tone of voice that is easy on my ears early in the morning. Having this news presented without opinionated interpretations, is it a very valuable program for many of us to start the day. Her intelligence is reflected in the way she gives her interviewee A chance to Speak without interruptions. We deserve to have the full hour of “way too early.”
  • Jo Brocato
    More Please
    This show is too good to be way so short.
  • Marilyn Marin
    Air the whole show PLEASE!
    Good show, would be nice to hear the whole thing.
  • tokioite
    Why so short?
    11 minutes? 12 minutes? 13 minutes? How long is this show? Hardly seems worth listening to something this short. I imagine it’s a good show, and I’d like to listen, but this seems silly. And inexplicable.
  • Plantar jones
    Snark - you too??
    I’m sorry to see you have joined the Snark attitude so many MSNBC hosts exhibit. I used to like your straight forward reporting.
  • Edgewoodcottage
    Way too short
    I like Kasie Hunt and the brief bits that are posted, but it’s way too short to maintain listener loyalty update- Am seeing a trend where key points are repeated on Morning Joe, so unless this podcast is lengthened to give move time for the skilled interviews and analysis we expect, I skip this one.
  • lzy_bku
    Hircine
    Who’s idea was it to trim this show down to the cliff notes? Air The Hunt in full.
  • Manny1manito2
    Way to short
    i like this podcast but i believe there is about half an hour worth of content that can be uploaded
  • this is a scam job
    Why is it only...
    Way too Early is a great way to start my morning, Katie Hunt is one of my favorite journalists. That being said the show is only 13 mins long, and by the time you get through the first Ad, and the last you really only get about 9-10 min worth of news. Am I missing something here?
  • Anna Zanfei
    Great!
    I love this podcast! I love the precision and clarity and the tone. Excellent
  • ghuyte
    Pls air the whole show
    This is very frustrating- surely she’s worth airing the whole show?
  • zakaylamom
    Where’s the rest of the show?
    Cuts the show off before it’s over. There’s a tease about what’s coming up after the break and then the podcast ends.
  • A-legory
    This is just a clip
    I hate that they don’t post the whole show it’s pointless. She deserves better
  • mh57blue
    Where is the full show???
    Kasie Hunt is great and I was really looking forward to listening whenever I wanted to — but for some reason you’re uploading a snippet?? I have several MSNBC podcasts and it’s generally the whole show. Except also for the new Deadline Whitehouse 2-hour that just uploads an hour. What is up with that??? Most unsatisfying. Full shows. Please. I see no reason for this limited upload.
  • cadana
    Solid Information, But why only 11 mins long?
    I follow the Rachel Maddow Show with a Kacie Hunt’s 12 min punch ... What TRMS doesn’t cover I know KH will update on current issues ... I trust these journalists and need to hear from them more!!
  • Forgetfuljj
    Love this show!
    I love this show... and love waking up with Kasie & on the morning I’m NOT up Way Too Early...I love getting the podcast... but wish it was the whole show!
  • emasterav
    12 minute episodes?
    Is there a reason the episodes are only 12 minutes long?
  • Kenrie
    Need to hear more!
    I live overseas and look forward to listening, but like many have already said-we need more!!! Please upload the entire show for us.
  • ers1878
    Please stop
    The show is fine. However, your not the only one up at 5am. We all are that watch and complaining about it every few minutes isn’t helpful. So please consider a different tone to start the day with something other than “it’s way too early”. We already know.
  • pyrus28
    Way toooooo short
    Why is this podcast so short? Where is the rest of the story.......?
  • henrikschou
    Please post a bit longer episodes
    For the rest of us who do not live in the states please post a bit longer episodes.
  • BethAnn824
    Why so short??
    Love the show but the podcast is only 12-16 minutes. Everyone can’t get up at 4:00 am CST to watch Kasey!
  • PismoMary
    Why so short?
    The episodes are so abreviated, why not the whole show?
