A note from Andrew
I've lived in Cairo since 1991. I was here for the Gulf War, the Arab Spring, and every regional escalation since.
I started building FlashBrief in late 2025, long before the current Iran headlines, because my own news habits had been getting steadily worse and I wanted a tool I could trust to still be useful in any season. Every morning it gives me a five-to-seven minute audio briefing on the topics I care about. Cited. No hype. No clickbait. No algorithm. No advertiser.
