TODAY Show 12+

These two shows have become my morning staples during retirement, and, especially now during the Pandemic. For me, it is the hosts that are my favorite part. I simply like them-all.
The two shows keep me current with news and current trends. I get lots of gift ideas. Being an avid reader, I love segments on books. Jenna Bush’s book club has consistently excellent books.
If I have one criticism, it is the amount of country music covered; I am a lover of old school R/B/funk. I try to be open to other genres, but, Country seems to get a lot of play on these shows-particularly during the 4th hour.

Today News app is just OK. It has updated stories in all categories from celebs, politics, food, home, health and families. Two cons are that the same news stories that stay on the feed for months at a time and they report too much on their own personal lives...Al got new glasses, someone’s baby burped, Dylan or Honda got a new hair-do...big deal-not newsworthy. No other news shows report on their own staff as much as the Today show does. There is a bug in the app in iPad that makes it jump to the bottom of the feed while browsing. Then you have to scroll back up to find your spot. This happens CONSTANTLY. It even happens after clicking on each story, when you click back out it scrolls down and you have to go back up to find your spot. This has been like this forever!!!

When you watch the Today Show people smile. At least I smile. It’s like watching a family loving and caring for each other.
They put their whole heart into news reported. They laugh together and cry together. They share their life with the world. They are real people. People don’t feel like they are untouchable. They come from all over the world to be with the Today Shows people.
I’m super glad the show has a variety of news each hour. Not just news but useful information for people of all ages. They bring the world closer to us.
