WYPR launches The Daily Dose podcast for COVID-19 updates
Baltimore’s National Public Radio affiliate WYPR launched The Daily Dose, a podcast highlighting Maryland’s response to the current public health crisis through the rigorous original reporting and analysis from its newsroom as well as the On The Record and Midday teams.
Danyell Irby, WYPR acting executive director of news, is serving as executive editor and Aaron Henkin is the podcast host and producer.
The podcast is an evening roundup of WYPR’s latest reporting on Maryland’s COVID-19 response, summarizing essential state and local news. It is also a forum for locals who want to share stories about everyday life during the pandemic. The podcast invites listeners to leave voicemails with their thoughts, questions and insights about life in the COVID-19 era at 410-235-6060. These contributions are included at the end of each episode.
Episodes thus far have featured updates and stories of importance on a local level, including those focused on City Council candidates scrambling to campaign in the midst of a pandemic, teachers gearing up for a long school shutdown and scammers trying to exploit an already bad situation.
The Daily Dose is available online at wypr.org’s Podcast Central (https://www.wypr.org/programs/daily-dose-maryland-confronts-covid-19) or on the WYPR app as well as on Apple Podcasts and Google Play.
