The day’s news made fast, fair and fun – in 10 minutes. Erica Mandy is like a trusted friend who always ‘gets’ both sides. She’s a veteran journalist who was tired of talking heads, alarmist headlines and monotone voices, so she created something different. The NewsWorthy is packed with politics, tech, business and entertainment from a variety of sources -- brought together in one, convenient place (and with a fun twist). Join the thousands of people already listening each weekday!

Example Script & Talking Points

Below is an example structure for the 2-3 minute Introcast episode, but please feel free to adapt it in any way that fits with your show's own authentic style!

INTRO
Hey, it's {your name} here because I'm excited to tell you about another podcast I recommend called The NewsWorthy.

For me, reading or watching the news all the time can make me feel super overwhelmed / gives me anxiety / is depressing / is annoying with all the arguing pundits. Yet, it's really important to stay informed. So what do you do?

Add "The NewsWorthy" podcast to your playlist every day! Yes, you can get caught-up on everything that's happening now – from the biggest political stories – to the tech and business impacting our lives – to even some fun entertainment news. And you get it all in just about 10 minutes a day... with "The NewsWorthy" podcast.

I find that it truly makes it easier, faster and more efficient to stay informed and to keep up with every conversation at work and home. The host, Erica Mandy, always explains everything that's happening clearly, concisely and from ALL perspectives. She really is unbiased and goes out of her way to pull from a variety of sources. I'm happy to say you won't find any arguing or yelling pundits on this podcast...

Here's a 1 minute trailer from Erica that will give you a feel for her style and her quick, helpful daily news roundups:
