The grunts are what keeps it real
Otherwise we have the soft middle of The NY Times, centrist bias to the max, and uneven reporting with a soft focus filter

The should rename it the mmm-hmmm podcast
Good podcast, but is hard for me to listen to with headphones because of the hosts tendency to say mmmm and mmm-hmmm frequently.

Informative, engaging and offers so much value.
I’m a busy Night shift Nurse, I need to use my down time wisely. It’s been so difficult to watch the news lately, and I’m thrilled I found The Daily. I get trustworthy information that is delivered in a succinct format, that also holds my attention when I’m tired. It engages me from beginning to end. Well done NYT. The host’s speaking style, some people are complaining about shouldn’t bother you to the point that is overshadows the quality content. It’s seems silly, they are human, it’s only a podcast. If you were sitting in a lecture hall with a brilliant professor all of their speaking mannerisms and quirks you grow familiar with and just deal with it. Michael and the quality of the storytelling is the main reason I listen. Please consider reporting the toxic working environments inside America’s hospitals and how running our healthcare system like Walmart leads to the same low quality experience the public has. It also leads to staffing shortage issues and abusive working environments that this female dominated industry has been trained into keeping quiet about or repeating “that’s just Nursing.”Healthcare should be a basic human right, not a profit making business that only funds departments like elective surgery and cancer treatment because they make the most money for board members and admins. Hospitals use and abuse Nurses, Doctors, CNAs, PT/OT, SLP, and SW, leaving us overworked and powerless. This leaves patients distressed with their sub par experience that admins allow their front line staff to take the blame for. Exactly like Walmart, it’s horrifying.

Enough with the grunts!
I am a frequent listener and I appreciate the effort that goes into making these podcasts. It’s clear the participants are very well informed and prepared and yet I also believe the vocal but non verbal reactions from Michael are not necessary and sometimes border on editorializing in a way. Overall, reasonably balanced, but the grunts, sighs and “HMMM” reactions often become distracting. Michael, your vocabulary is rich! Use it, sir!

It’s what you need toknowtoday
I listen every morning, and the only reason I give it four stars instead of five is because whenever there’s a host besides Barbaro, they ruin the best part of the show where he says, “Here’s what else you need toknowtoday”. The guest hosts on This American Life all do Ira’s bit at the end, stop frickin’ around and do Michael’a bit!!

It is true why everyone says NYT is left wing media
I like the show but still far away from unbiased true journalism….

Please, no more Natalie!
I love The Daily, it is my favorite podcast. And if Natalie Kitroeff is hosting, it becomes unlistenable. Her bored millennial voice is too distracting and annoying to tolerate. Please, send her off to her promotion in Mexico City and keep her off The Daily.

One sided and hypocritical
Good if you are wanting to hear a one sided opinion of political news. The same views and opinions that are condemned by one political side are simultaneously being used and commended by the other. Politics has very few honest reporters. You can try and listen to both sides of the news but it is pretty frustrating when you realize they are both saying the same things just with each other as the target. I’ll be honest I don’t agree with progressive politics so I have less patience with progressive reporters but both sides have issues and the facts about a matter are getting harder and harder to find.

Interviewers Going Too Soft
The longer this podcast continues the less probing the questions are put forth. I understand it is a news podcast and the interviewers need not be combative with their guests, but they could politely address certain questions and outstanding perspectives in their interviews. In the recent episode on Queen Elizabeth II, for example, not once did the interviewer ask about the role of monarchy, like why was it necessary for it to be “saved,” what did it mean for her to “give her heart” to other countries in the commonwealth (that were exploited by the crown.) this kind of casual overlooking of critical questions degrades the quality of the interviews. NYT did the same thing in their interview with an Afghan military leader who fled the country and had been known to massacre Afghans. The Investigative pieces are more interesting when they interview other journalists.

Natalie’s affect
I love this podcast and I listen to it every day during my morning commute. Having said that, I have concerns about Natalie. Perhaps her intention is to project gravitas, unfortunately that’s not was coming through. She sounds like an over-this, eye-rolling millennial. Maybe she’s nervous? Would it be possible for her to practice using a more typical conversation inflection pattern - lilt, rise and fall, etc. I imagine when she’s visiting with her family and friends there is more enthusiasm in how she speaks. At least one would hope so. But what she’s giving us right now on the Daily is 30 minutes of “I’m bored”.

Queen episode
There’s a lot to unpack and missing from this episode that I understand may not be possible to fit in, but one blatant bias is when talking about scandals, Diana’s potential affair was mentioned but Charles’s wasn’t, he cheated the whole time and the only she did cheat was due to that. Is it because he’s king now they won’t say it. Disappointing NYT.

MOUD not mentioned
This program creates a binary— abstinence or fentanyl/heroin supply— which does not exist. The treatments saving lives, methadone and suboxone, long-acting opioids which are evidence-based treatments for opioid use disorders, are not mentioned. The real issue in opioid overdoses is access to these life-saving treatments. That would be an interesting and important topic.
