Today explained is a podcast from vox. And vox is an American news and opinion website distributed by vox media. The purpose of this podcast is to introduce to people the biggest news for the day, from Mondays through Friday. The podcast is intended for anyone interested in news, especially in news away from politics at times. Today explained focuses most of the time on stories that are not focused much on mainstream media. It uses an interview-style format from experts from subjects they are focusing on. From week to week they offer different advertising from products to promotions from other podcast outlets like stitcher radio who also produces the podcast along with vox. Though there is no ranking to match it along with another podcast in terms of popularity. Vox today explained does hold a 4.6 out of 5-star rating with over three thousand reviews on apple podcast. It’s difficult to say if it has made waves but being from a big media outlet. And also having a great rating it’s safe to assume so, also it is promoted heavily through vox and other sites like vulture.com have covered its release in February 2018. When it comes to this particular podcast any episode is good to start with because it focuses primarily on individual issues that can sometimes have nothing to do with the last episode.
