This show is a necessity!! Jane is the best combo of humor and news no matter what.

While asking listeners who are interested in groupthink to “kindly keep moving,” this podcast strikes me as having formed opinions on current issues. For example, if one goes to the update on RFKjr in search of information about Health & Human Services, it’s pretty one sided. Could the Secretary have positive goals on the agenda? Apparently not.

Jane is ah-mazing! I can’t get enough, especially in this ever changing world where there is so much to keep up with. Jane does a great job of providing context and bringing in experts. He quick sarcastic whit has me laughing out loud on my morning commute. If I wasn’t already gushing enough the most recent episode about the national championship trophy highlighting the Michigan in season win did it for me. Love this show!

I look forward to hearing Jane’s view of the news every morning! Thanks for telling it how it is!

I will preface this by saying I love other Crooked Media podcasts like Pod Save America, Lovett or Leave It, Hysteria, and Offline. Jane seems to be an improvement over previous recent hosts of What a Day in that she seems to legitimately have a thorough understanding of what she’s talking about. The problem for me is fully in her delivery. The way she speaks throughout the podcast comes off extremely smug and sarcastic, and almost as if every single sentence is supposed to be the punchline of a joke, or like she’s playing a character, to the point that it’s overwhelming and distracting from the actual content being delivered. I just start to crave a single moment without her condescending overtone. Also, she’s one of those people who pronounces the ‘R’ sound with that tongue-rounding effect like it’s being combined with the letter ‘L’ every time. That last part is just a small pet peeve that I could more easily forgive if not for the bigger issue described above. I can see why people like Jane, but unless she changes or is replaced, I’ll have to stick to the PSA guys and the Hysteria girls.

Really miss some of the other hosts…I feel this hosts voice is the equivalent to an eye roll, I don’t need the emotional undertone, just give me the liberal news…maybe it’s the point of the show so I should find another but didn’t feel like the other hosts were like this

Jane is like a smart, funny, knowledgeable friend who expresses shared concerns, interests and anxieties with humor and intelligence. P.S. Love the Headlines jingle.

Used to love this podcast but y’all need a new host, or at least additional ones to balance it out. She’s not as charming as past hosts and it all just sounds more scripted than ever…like listening to a middle schooler give a book report.

It turns out you can hate the news but love the presentation! This is the best way to start every day.

i am very disappointed that crooked media changed the format and dropped all of the over host and stuck with dry host. the former host use to keep this show alive and gave it zest and now it’s just like someone made a really dry chicken. i truly think this was a mistake because the trying to be the daily is a big misstep. the old format had this show stand out and now it’s trash. i stopped listening for months and i tried again and honestly this was a mistake. i’ll listen to other crooked podcast but this one is in the garbage disposal!

Love the brevity and the impressive guests. Sometimes I hear myself singing ‘head-a-liiines’ in my head when ever I’m hearing any kind of news! Keep up the excellent work!!!

This new host is so hard to listen too it’s like she tries too hard to land zingers or jokes and they always fall flat and usually pretty cringe

I enjoy the way the information is delivered

Really enjoy this for my daily news and insight. The guests they bring on are really excellent for the current topics at hand.

I love this podcast, which gives me a quick overview of what’s happening in the world and gives me the ability to then go focus on specific stories and events that I should learn more about. Thanks!

Love this very in depth but succinct daily pod!!

New listener, super informative & well put together!!

Jane Coaston is boring.

Ugh. I am mixed on this show. I like the quick news and really like the current host, but why bring on guests like Josh Barro? Disappointing and infuriating. Trying to emulate the NYT?

You had the courage to take down Biden but bring on Josh Barro for a flimsy analysis on Schumer? It's less about the shutdown than all of the "someday republicans will come around" naïveté that the democrats have been banking on for 10 years! Schumer's not able to state the case, fight, or unify the caucus. He had a book tour planned for the middle of a constitutional crisis! Feels like Pod Save has been going Republican lite lately. I am on the verge of canceling.

Thank you for making listening to the news a little less painful. Your humor, honesty, and experts really tell the true story. Keep up the great work!

Hard to get my morning going w/o first listening to What Day! Love the content and Jane's take on the current mind-blowing situation in which we find ourselves. Jane rocks!

I’ve been a fan of this podcast since the beginning, through all configurations of hosts. It’s been a struggle listening to the current one. Egads. Jane’s diction.

Love WAD! Jane is fantastic! It makes disgusting the news daily possible.

I just started listening to this podcast a few weeks ago, and I’ve enjoyed it immensely! Each episode is informative, wry, and as fun as reporting on these times can be!

Used to listen for news updates but you just brought on Matt Yglesias, in 2025, for political advice. This is a disservice to your cause, for any hope of Dems ever winning, and for hope in a better world. He’s been consistently wrong about EVERYTHING, and treating him as sage will ensure democrats continue to lose. Do better.

Jane is great; really love her interview style. But dear god please stop playing background music when she's speaking. It's so distracting and I have to fast forward through the newscap segment bc it's so annoying. Content-wise though, great show!

I’ve been listening for 4+ years and never miss an episode. Thank you for this work!

Jane is doing a great job relying the news and she is all in with every interview. I’m glad you’re keeping Alika Hughes voice in the recording because I miss her.

Jane Coaston is a great host with great insights.

This is my favorite news brief podcast, covering the issues I care about most and refusing to ignore the impacts of what is happening now on real people and the planet.

I listen to these every day on my walks. They help get what I need to know. Great people! Fabulous team!

I am so impressed by your dedication to report the news on a daily basis given the troubling (to say the least) content. I think about the toll this must take on you and all the staff behind the scenes and I thank you for continuing to do what you do.

Best way to start my day. I grab my coffee and listen while I get ready for work. Love the show. Keep up the awesome work!

I really enjoy your presentation of the news. I am glad I found this podcast.

Talented and hilarious and very informative

I deeply appreciate Jane Coaston’s curious yet skeptical approach to the news — and I like that she has a really wide range of guests of guests on her show. This is how I stay informed on the day’s political antics. Essential listening!

I’m an old guy and learn something every time I listen - keep up your good work and I’ll keep listening!

Jane sounds like she’s reading from a script and her unfunny, “trying to be sarcastic” wit just really isn’t landing the way she wants it to. Please get her a cohost otherwise this podcast is getting unbearable to listen or watch.

I had unsubscribed after akilah and Gideon left, as I found the new hosts annoying (sorry 😬). When I hear Jane was the new host, I subscribed again as I LOVED her on the Weeds. She has totally saved this podcast!

I wake up to What A Day every day that it’s available. It’s the perfect length, the information is great, and the host is upbeat. Fantastic pod!

I appreciate the format they use to share news with us. Thanks for keeping us informed and connected. Rest well, when you can💛

Love the host

Layla needs some coaching on how to read with naturally.

I listen every day to get quick, accurate, and entertaining delivery of the news that matters most. Thanks and keep up the great work!

There’s a bright side to everything. During this Trump Administration, this podcast is the bright side.

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve listened from the beginning and have loved every host. Jane is terrific and is doing an admirable job in a really dark time

This show has changes so much. Why did we move away from a great thing and other great hosts? I hate this now

I love this pod, it’s intelligent, interesting and to the point 🤩
