First Take is an American morning sports talk program on ESPN2 and ESPN2HD. Two back-to-back two-hour episodes air each weekday from Monday through Friday, with the live episode airing from 10 a.m. ET until noon, followed by a repeat.
The show is broadcast from ESPN's headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut in Studio E.
The entire show, without commercials, is available as an audio-only podcast the afternoon of the same day, following the broadcast of the recorded show.
The show, in collaboration with the web magazine 'anna,' features monthly special guests and introduces content related to gourmet, fashion, places to go, entertainment, and more.
A standard yet somehow odd chatshow. Guests would be normal folks like a stewardess, meter maid, or lottery winner. Musical performances were provided by The Blind Boys of Alabama, Pat Benatar, and Charles Brown. There were remote segments and short film parodies. Most importantly, you have Poundstone's impeccable audience interaction. She brings many guests on in panels and plays off their interaction with each other as well.
Welcome to Ariel and Zoey and Eli, Too, where three sibling-musicians write and perform songs, and interview accomplished artists. In 2015, the trio were nominated for a Daytime Emmy award in the category of Outstanding Original Song.
