Perfect “Coffee Podcast”

Just discovered this podcast this week and I really appreciate it! It’s 10-15 minutes first thing in the AM with the top news stories of the day. No agenda and no bias, just the info. Very good and highly recommend! Perfect coffee podcast - AKA a podcast you can listen to while making and drinking your coffee ;)

The best way to get the daily news!

So glad Kevin is back, 2023 didn’t feel like normal without my favorite podcast as part of my morning routine! I was an avid TV morning news watcher while I was getting ready for work and after the bad news cycle and doom and gloom antics, I made the switch to Kevin’s podcast where the news is just that, the news! The perfect way to start your day and especially love the good news segment at the end. Keep up the good work!

In my daily routine

This is a palatable quick way to get informed about the major news stories from the day before. But I really like that Kevin also summarizes new music releases, shows, and movies. Also, the dad jokes he sprinkles in are top-tier 👌

I have shared it with so many friends!

I’m a busy working mother so I never felt like I had a way to catch up on all the events, UNTIL I found Kevin Manno! Such a broad capture of all the categories- with an intelligent humor that is much appreciated! Thanks for keeping us in the know, Kevin!!

It’s good

First time listener. Liked the show, was able to easily listen while getting ready for the day. A little too much celebrity news for me, but i still enjoyed it.

Love this

I was so sad when Kevin left Southern California radio! I have been a listener of his podcast since day one! He starts my day with everything I need to know. Because of this podcast my friends and family always say “ how did you know that” I say First Thing podcast I listen to. Its fast but it covers so much! Alot of them listen now also! Thank you Kevin!

Good show, one suggestion

I’m a new listener and appreciate it so far. It’s a lot of info, quickly…which makes it a bit difficult to listen closely with the level of background music. Kind of sensory overload. So please seriously consider lowering the volume of the music, at least a little bit. I think it would make it a lot easier for your audience to listen. Thank you!!

Excellent way to get the top stories!

Fantastic show! I listen during my morning routine and love that he rarely gives his opinion. He reads the headlines adds a fact or two then say go see for yourself he has it posted in his instagram stories! Freakin Fantastic! Brilliant idea for a pod cast.

I’ve been a listener since the beginning!! I missed you terribly when you took a little break BUT was even more thankful when you made the great return. I’m not a fan of watching the news or reading it, so this is an awesome way to get caught up and I love how you keep it so positive. Can’t recommend enough! I’ll be a fan FOREVER!

Great Start to my Morning!

I love to stay up with what is happening, and the First Thing podcast with Kevin Manno gives me that in about 10 minutes each weekday. When I am chatting with my friends, family, and coworkers, I know enough to participate in any conversation. You can listen during your morning commute or wake up to First Thing! Kevin delivers news and current events with humor and an entertaining perspective.

Great way to keep up with the news

I’ve listened to Kevin Manno since his Chicago days on Q101. I’ve always been a fan of the Manno brothers. I appreciate the quick listen because a lot of podcasts run more than an hour. It’s a nice way to stay on top of the news without all the additional commentary.

The Only Way to Start Your Day

I have followed Kevin’s wife, Ali, for a while now and when I heard that Kevin was starting a quick news podcast, I was super excited. Because each episode is only about 10 minutes long it is the perfect thing to start my day. I hit play as I get out of bed and listen while I go about my morning routine. I get the highlights of what is going on in the world so that I feel informed but it is not a heavy show where I feel worn out after listening. I love this show so much that I actually get sad on the weekends when there isn’t an episode. Such a great show that I would recommend to anyone. Great job, Kevin!

Best way to start the day

I love this podcast, but one suggestion- can you release your episodes super early - like 4am? Would like to be able to actually start the day (during a workout or while getting ready for work) getting the latest news. I’m always a day behind because I have to wait for a new episode to be released and by then it feels like old news.

September 26, 2022

The BEST way to digest the news!

I haven't been able to watch or listen to the news in years because it spikes my anxiety and also drives me into depression. I love how Kevin gives us everything in this bite-sized show. He stays neutral as a reporter and is a pro at making it engaging with great transitions and overall delivery! I love starting my day with this pod and being left with an uplifting and positive story to carry on through the rest of my day.

It is a great balance of world, sports, and entertainment news all in 10-12 minutes. I am not much of a nightly news person, so this provides me with what I need to be informed. I greatly appreciate the companion Instagram story with clickable links to some of the top stories! Thank you, Kevin!

Great listen!

Super easy and fun to listen to - I love listening on the way to work. Catches me up with some headlines so I’m in the loop a bit more than I usually am 😂

Pairs well with morning routine!

I try to spend 10 minutes each morning tidying up (the 10 minute tidy!) and this is a great thing to listen to. Nice balance of news and pop culture.

Love this!

I love to be up to date on things going on but can often feel bogged down by the heaviness of the news. This is great because not only do you get a snip bit of actual news you get some entertainment news which lightens up the day. And I love that Kevin always ends with a positive news story. We need more of that in the world. Bravo 👏🏽

The news I need to know!

Thank you for doing this for us, Kevin! This is the daily news we need to keep up in the world and also have something to chime in conversations with when we need it at work when there’s small talk🤣. I hope this stays around for a long time and we appreciate the hard work! 👏🏼

LOVE!

I listen every morning on my commute. Love that it is a condensed way to get what is going on in the world. I am a podcast junky and I think this is probably my favorite one.

First thing firsts…

I have been listening to Kevin since he was part of La morning show… (miss you on the show also) but now I get to listen to him and get caught up on news whether it’s entertainment, sports etc. while I get ready for work and listen to to the morning show! 🤗 I’ve been enjoying and do it miss it on the weekends. Keep it up Kevin!

Helps me get up in the morning!

College student here- and it’s hard for me to get up most mornings for my morning classes. While getting ready I’ve always wondered what to listen to in order for my morning to be better and this has helped me to much with getting ready for my day while staying informed!! Thanks Kevin!!

Terrific Addition

I’ve been listening to a quickie news podcast for a while but it’s mostly big political stories. First Thing is great to add for all the pop culture, sports, etc. I’m glad I’ve added this one to my morning routine. Highly recommend!

February 17, 2022

Great start! Can’t wait to see this grow…

***UPDATED*** This has become a regular part of my morning drive to take my HS kids to school. I love that we all get a quick snapshot of what’s new and important/exciting in the world and always ends on a positive note! First show was great! Delivered on exactly what he said it would be and I love it! Kevin was so great on his former radio show in LA, I’m excited to hear his voice again. Definitely take the 10 minutes every morning, you won’t be disappointed!

I don’t think I have ever written a review for a podcast but this one just fits my morning routine SO well. Kevin Manno gives all the tops stories, music and entertainment news in a fun, positive format. It really is the perfect way to start your day.

Excellent ew Podcast

Kevin’s podcast is great! It’s short and to there point, informative, and funny. I’ve followed Kevin and his wife on Instagram for years and was very excited when he announced he was starting a podcast. I listen to quite a few different podcasts and I love that this one is quick and to the point. I look forward to this podcast each day.

Great 10 minutes to start my day!

If you’re looking for a quick 10 minutes of top headlines, then First Thing Pod is it. Kevin Manno is engaging, funny and delivers the news of the day in a very digestible format. If you’re like me and hate watching/listening to the news but want to stay in the know on current events, then listen to Kevin!

Perfect dose of news

I hate watching the news in the morning because quite often it’s just depressing negative news. This is a great way to stay informed and all important headlines and topics without that negativity! Great start to each day.

February 17, 2022

Great podcast

My favorite thing to listen to on the way to school drop off and work. Great for my tweens as well because they get news without being overwhelmed. Love that he ends with a good news story, and the podcast has helped me win some jeopardy questions, too! To top it off, Kevin’s Mickey Mouse impression is on point.

Breath of fresh air!

This is just the best! Would much rather listen to Kevin’s podcast rather than local news! I work in a hospital and the last thing I want to listen to when I get home is everyone’s opinion on covid and the vaccine. Kevin’s podcast is a breath of fresh air. A daily update on all the latest news with no political views or opinions. Just the facts with a little humor! Thank you !!!!

Look forward to this daily now & want more!

When Kevin ran his overview of this podcast I was SO excited! I too, pre pandemic, used to try to time my commute to align with the news segment on the local radio station. Now that I am working from home - something like this has been missing & it’s just what I needed to get caught up every morning! Even better, it prevents me from mindlessly scrolling a social media feed for the “news” instead. Love that you can go to insta after, to see the videos, pics, etc mentioned. Looking forward to seeing more on your insta / social (maybe a daily infographic with the top 5 stories or a meme that could be reshared to help promote the podcast as well)…to continue to make that connection. Well done! Love these updates every morning!
