Aaron McIntire provides the morning news update you don’t necessarily want but absolutely need. Aaron delivers the most relevant stories with his signature sarcasm and even adds a little “Aaron-analysis†to wrap things up.
The A.M. Update podcast, hosted by Aaron from the Steve Deace Show, is a must-listen for anyone looking to start their day with a dose of conservative news and commentary. Aaron's talent, brains, and humor make for a great combination that keeps listeners entertained and informed. With his quick hits on national news topics presented from a Biblical worldview, he offers a unique perspective that many conservative commentators lack. The podcast is concise, edited well, and always on topic, making it an easy listen for those who are short on time.
One of the best aspects of The A.M. Update is Aaron's ability to weed through the insanity of the news cycle and present the most important highlights from a conservative standpoint.

Additionally, his background as a producer for the Steve Deace Show gives him valuable experience and insight that shines through in each episode.
As for the worst aspects of this podcast, one criticism is that it is not a full-length show. Many listeners express their desire for Aaron to have his own show or for The A.M.
