## What is Rundown Briefings?

Five minutes, and you're caught up.

Rundown writes a fresh briefing every morning and reads it out loud: two hosts talking it through the way people actually do — not one robot voice reading headlines, and not another feed to scroll. Put it on while you drive, walk or make the coffee, and the news is done for the day.

TEN TOPICS, REWRITTEN EVERY DAY
The Rundown, Weather, Politics, World, Business & Markets, Healthcare, Tech & Science, Science, Sport and Haematology — plus, from Thursday, what's on this weekend in your city. Each one is written the morning you hear it, from the day's reporting, with its sources listed.

A BRIEFING ON ANYTHING YOU ASK FOR
Type or say a subject — "the port strike", "what happened to that merger", "quantum computing for someone who forgot the basics" — pick a length between 3 and 30 minutes, and it gets written and voiced for you. If a subject has nothing to do with today's news, it still works.

GO DEEPER
Heard something you want more of? Ask for a deeper briefing on it and the next one is written against everything you already heard, up to three levels down.

SIX LANGUAGES, 28 COUNTRIES
English, Hebrew, Arabic, Spanish, French and German — each properly written in that language, not translated. Pick the country you want the news from and the language you want to hear it in, separately.

BUILT FOR THE CAR
Full CarPlay support with big tiles, and Siri: ask for a podcast on any topic without touching the screen. It keeps playing with the phone locked, and remembers where you stopped.

READ IT INSTEAD
Every briefing keeps its full text and the links it was written from, so you can check a claim or read what you just heard.

FREE
All ten daily topics, 90 minutes of listening a month, three custom briefings or deeper cuts, and your three most recent to replay.

PREMIUM
Daily briefings without limit, 30 minutes of custom briefings and deeper cuts every month at up to 30 minutes each, and your whole library.

Premium Monthly, $12.99 per month. Premium Yearly, $103.99 per year. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. It renews automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings after purchase.
