The Morning Brew newsletter started with a simple concept - to help young people connect to business news. Who knew that almost a decade later, it would have over four million subscribers and a podcast? Morning Brew Daily continues the tradition of the written form. Thanks to its short, 30-minute format, it makes the news even more digestible.
Neal Freyman cohosts the Morning Brew Daily podcast. Freyman is also the managing editor of the Morning Brew team of writers and producers. In one way or another, he has helped create every edition of the newsletter for over six years. His cohost, Toby Howell, joined the writing team in 2020. Later, Howell advanced to run the company's active Twitter account. He left for a few years to write and run two other successful tech-related newsletters. But when the opportunity to cohost Morning Brew Daily came up, Howell was more than happy to return.
Morning Brew Daily is a natural continuation of the newsletter. In every weekday podcast episode, the pair reviews the most noteworthy news of the day. They summarize what is important in business, from Wall Street to Silicon Valley. The podcast reports on the same business topics. But here, the podcast hosts provide more details. Freyman and Howell offer their research, some intriguing facts and figures, their analysis, and a little more context.
The Morning Brew is a newsletter for people to consume with their coffee. It's a short, to-the-point overview of business news that should not take over five minutes. Morning Brew Daily lets the readers expand on that recap while they commute to work. But it still does that with the same easy language and humorous tone of the newsletter.
