Today, Vox launched Vox Quick Hits, a new way for listeners to experience Vox's explainer journalism every morning in new short-form segments. Hosted by Today Explained host Sean Rameswaram and a strong supporting cast, Vox Quick Hits offers audiences the unique ability to pick and choose which segments they listen to across the daily round down.
Vox Quick Hits curated content allows audiences can choose from the topics they’re interested in and/or discover something new along the way
Vox hopes that this new podcast introduces a new routine. Every morning, listeners wake up to three new bite-sized episodes.
According to Vox, "from the time it takes to grab a cup of coffee and breakfast or commute to the couch, you can start your morning more informed."
In recent months, the Vox Podcast Network has made several key moves to bolster their content and provide more value to their listeners.

Then, in the election season, Vox leveraged its popular and critically acclaimed Today Explained podcast brand to release Today Explained: The Trump Years, a special five-part podcast series
