Radio Version Of The New York Times' 'The Daily' Podcast Coming Via American Public Media

Coming To Radio

THE NEW YORK TIMES' "THE DAILY" news podcast is coming to radio in a broadcast version to be distributed to public stations by AMERICAN PUBLIC MEDIA.

Like the podcast, the radio version will be hosted by MICHAEL BARBARO; unlike the podcast, which feeds in the morning and usually runs 20-30 minutes, the broadcast version will run 30 minutes and will focus on one or two main stories, and will be positioned for evening airing.

“It’s been such a joy to see ‘THE DAILY’ welcomed into millions of people’s lives over the past year,” said the show's Managing Editor THEO BALCOMB.  “As a team, we’ve aspired to earn that trust by offering listeners a rich understanding of the day's biggest news. And now, we’re thrilled to introduce ‘‘THE DAILY' to a whole new audience of radio listeners.”

"Public Radio has long been committed to in-depth news reporting and vibrant storytelling. We think ‘THE DAILY' will be a powerful addition to that programming," said TIMES advidor KINSEY WILSON.

“We are thrilled to bring another trusted brand to APM’s portfolio for our listeners,” said AMERICAN PUBLIC MEDIA GROUP EVP/Chief Content Officer DAVE KANSAS. “This is a tremendous opportunity to deliver additional perspectives and more context to the constant stream of headlines. We know our listeners want to better understand the world they live in, and collaborating with THE NEW YORK TIMES to bring something like this to our audiences is a game changer for public radio.”
