Award-winning broadcast journalist and former CBS News reporter Erica Mandy helps people stay informed in a more convenient, unbiased and less depressing way with her popular daily news podcast:
The NewsWorthy
It provides a wide variety of the day's news in around 10 minutes each weekday.
The NewsWorthy has been listed as a top 25 daily news podcast on Apple Podcasts, recommended as a 'Best Podcast' by Harper's Bazaar, featured as a 'Best News App' by Fast Company, listed on Podcast Magazine’s Hot 50 podcast charts, seen as a 'Can't Miss' podcast on Stitcher, and more.
The NewsWorthy has continued to grow since launch in 2017, getting millions of downloads and at least doubling its loyal audience size each year without fail. The impressive growth led to a 2019 investment from PodFund, which invests in extraordinary emerging creators, and whose portfolio includes well-known names like Malcolm Gladwell.
Before launching The NewsWorthy, Erica spent more than a decade reporting for television news around the country. She most recently worked for CBS News in Los Angeles.
As a TV news reporter, Erica Mandy was live on the scene during terrorist attacks, wildfires and federal court rulings, to name a few. She's interviewed politicians, CEOs, experts, and everyday people doing extraordinary things.
Erica quit her job as a TV news reporter in Los Angeles to launch The NewsWorthy: an unbiased daily roundup of politics, tech, business and entertainment that makes it faster, easier and more fun to get all the news you need to know. Listen on-the-go in just 10 minutes.
