FLAGSHIP DAILY
The 7 — seven stories, every weekday morning.
In roughly eleven minutes, the team walks through the seven stories the newsroom believes will shape the next twenty-four hours — with the same sourcing, correction log, and named-byline discipline as our written coverage. Every show ships with a companion briefing on the site, so audio and text readers meet in the same story.

THE LINEUP
Six shows. One newsroom.
Each show is hosted by a named TodayPost editor or reporter, produced in-house, and edited against the same standards as our written coverage.
BUSINESS
Ledger
With Devon Ramirez & Hiroshi Tanaka
Markets, mergers, and the slow-moving stories behind the day's tickers — with named analysts on the record.
TECH
Signal
With Robin Patel & Esther Lin
How technology is actually changing how we work, vote, and live — beyond the demo-stage hype cycle.
CULTURE
After Hours
With Jules Caron & Marisol Vega
A long, slow Friday conversation about the films, books, and arguments worth your weekend.
Also in the rotation
The podcasts are not a marketing channel bolted onto the side of the newsroom. They are the newsroom — same sourcing, same correction log, same byline discipline, just recorded on a microphone instead of written in a CMS. If a host can't stand behind their name on a transcript, they shouldn't be on the show.
