What A Day
If you’re looking for hype, fake outrage, and groupthink, kindly keep moving. Our mission at What a Day is simple: to be your guide to what truly matters each morning (and the fun stuff you might have missed) in just 20 minutes. Host Jane Coaston brings you in-depth reporting and substantive analysis on the big stories shaping today and the creeping trends shaping tomorrow—and when she doesn’t know the answers, she asks someone even smarter to fill us all in. Radical, right? New episodes at 5:00 a.m. EST, Monday–Saturday in your favorite podcast app and on YouTube. Being informed was never this easy.

What A Day is my favorite way to wake up and work out in the morning! And this means I’m officially accepting that I’m in my thirties and watch news and workout in the mornings…Jane is witty and shares the news in such a digestible manner, even the bad things. See you in the morning, girl! (And love your hair and earring variety!)
I love Jane

At least 3 times a show I chuckle and say, I love Jane”. Thanks for your sarcasm and snark.
Back in my day….

….I looked forward to hearing the fun and intelligent assemble cast members and no disrespect to Jane but can we compromise and bring back rotating co-hosts with her as the mainstay or something? This is a COMPLETELY different show since the days of Akilah and Gideon and maybe the was the aim? But the show is now dryer than a Popeyes biscuit!
Host Changes Impacting Quality
3 days ago
I’m an avid listener of Crooked Media and have been listening to WAD daily for years. WAD has gone through several host changes which is understandable in this industry with a younger early/mid career casting . Each time they have done a really good job transitioning and filling in with new hosts that kept the vibe/culture but also added their own unique personality. I also think having two hosts added a lot to the dynamic and cadence of the show. I have been really trying to give Jane time to grow on me but I have not been enjoying listening to this podcast in the mornings anymore. Maybe she needs a co-host but she is lacking in keeping the spirit of WAD that I have enjoyed going on. Her style is too prescriptive and rehearsed and her “humor” leans more on cheap empty remarks than of substance many times. Her tone also doesn’t feel authentic…or juvenile. It’s hard to put my finger on it exactly, but it’s just not working for me. Unless some changes are made, I don’t know how much longer I’ll be listening to this one. Unfortunately I’m going to have to start looking for a new daily news podcast.
