News Jams

News Jams

News Jams is the day’s headlines, turned into music. Every morning, we take the top stories—from politics, protests, tech, climate, culture—and distill them into original songs that deliver the facts with clarity and rhythm. No fluff, no pundit noise—just the news, scored. Each episode is short, sharp, and composed daily. 1 day's news = 1 song. All facts are sourced and verified. All lyrics are original and informed by real events. It’s the news you need. In a format you’ll remember. Because sometimes, what’s happening can’t be summed up in a headline—it has to be heard. News Jams is made with the use of AI. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. newsjams.substack.com
