How to use Today’s Five
Today’s Five is a daily lineup tracker for the 5 PM Eastern political talk show. This guide walks through everything visitors and admins can do.
For Visitors
Today’s lineup
The homepage shows the five people scheduled to appear today, in seat order (Seat 1 through Seat 5). Each card includes the host’s name, photo, and a short bio when available.
React to a host
When the voting feature is on, each card shows thumbs up and thumbs down buttons with running tallies. Your browser can cast one vote per host — your choice is remembered locally so you don’t double-vote.
Browse the History
The History page lists past daily lineups so you can see who appeared on any given date.
Contact the creator
The About page has a Contact form. Submissions go straight to the admin inbox — share feedback, corrections, or suggestions.
