WUSF launches Tampa Bay local news podcast, "The Wake Up Call"
Tampa Bay's NPR affiliate this week launched a local news podcast.
Why it matters: WUSF's "The Wake Up Call" fills a need in the Tampa Bay market for a quick-hit, conversational podcast with local happenings and things to do, news director Mary Shedden told Axios.
Zoom in: Each episode is about five minutes and includes three sections: news headlines, local events and a feature highlighting interesting voices in the community, drawing on reporting from WUSF reporters.
It's hosted by Sky Lebron and publishes weekdays at 7am.
💭 Kathryn's thought bubble: Full disclosure, Mary is a friend and mentor of mine, but that's not why I'm writing about this!
