The Daily is a New York Times produced Podcast that narrates the most important news story of the day. Hosted by Michael Barbaro, the twenty-minute episodes air five days a week and consist of a deeper insight on major breaking news stories. The Daily is powered by the New York Times and I would say the quality of the production is quite high, and the dynamic of the episodes hook the listener up.
Michael Barbaro, in addition to being the managing editor of The Daily, has been a New York Times Journalist for a while now. Him having experience in the field makes it easier for him to bring reporters that are covering the breaking news. I enjoy this thoroughly because it is more detailed than the writing pieces in the New York Times, not to mention you are able to listen to interviews with the subjects.
I listen to it on my commute to college in the morning and it is extremely helpful when I am sleepy and would most likely fall asleep if I read the news. His narration wakes me up and actually interests me to the point that I get involved with the breaking news and listen to the vocabulary he uses.
