Barbaro makes this unlistenable
His voice and constant “mmm” when others are talking are insufferable.

Canned and amateur conversations
Why do these conversations and interviews sound so canned? Its all “no way!? How did that happen?!” And the other individual says, “well let me tell you!” It’s just amateurish and poor acting. It sounds like anything you’d find on Instagram and unfortunately not NYT or WSJ. I’m in my early 30s but I abhor voice fray and reporters that sound like millennial influencers on Instagram.

Russian disinformation
Great pod cast and topic but the idea that Russian disinformation was worth sacrificing a source who knows an leader’s private conversations shows that the CIA was more interested in “political points” than protecting the nation.

Best Way to Start the Day
I would be lost if I’d didn’t get to start my day with Michael and the NYT team.

Not of fan
New York Times is better off having a robot as the host than Sabrina. Sabrina doesn’t seem to be engaged, ask terrible follow up questions, and sounds monotone. I tend to skip those episodes when she’s the host.

I miss Michael :(
I feel like since Michael B. has been a paternity leave, this show has fallen off. The stories are less poignant and there is no follow up on major stories. I understand Afghanistan is important but must there be a story on it every single week? Can we move on a little?

The decision of my life…
This episode hit me so hard. Everything about it was unforgettable and heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing and I wish you safely and happiness.

Aren’t journalists supposed to know correct English?
Today’s story (10/13/21) begins with, “Me and my colleagues…” This should have been, “My colleagues and I…” Where is the editor? This is the New York Times for Pete’s sake!

Which Towns to save…
The entire Outer Banks is not in Dare County. The northern Outer Banks is in Currituck County. Also, It would have been nice if you’d had some research or an expert talk about how over building has contributed to the flooding. I’ve lived on the coast my entire life and we never had issues like this until the population explosion and mass building. The town with the river that floods??? Look upstream at what’s changed. I bet you’ll find the answer. Developers- Greed has caused a lot of this.

New host please
Can we get a new host? Not a fan of Michael B. The dramatic pauses and then immediately speeding up….the constant “mmmm”. I’ve tried to keep listening. But I’m out.

Left leaning bubble
I lean right, and can usually listen to this show and absorb the facts and options just fine. However sometimes you can tell by the show title an episode is going to be a liberal opinion fluff piece presenting opinions as facts. I do still enjoy the factual news pieces about current legislation, which often have well balanced experts for the interview.

Part of my daily routine! Love this show in all its forms. Thank you!

Fading
Finding fewer and fewer episodes are worth a listen. Not helping are Ested’s simplistic interviews and Apoorva’s almost annoyance at being asked CV-19 questions (not to mention her loose relationship with facts).

oct 8 podcast
could it be that during trump admin trump’s cozying up with russia, having meetings with top Russians yucking it up but not allowing anyone to sit in and take notes as was sop nor allow US reporters in. i don’t know, trump is and has been a dirty little thief and i could easily see him selling lists of our cia assets. he will do anything that will line his pockets. nothing is sacrosanct for him.

Conversation with an Afghanistan
Bárbaro’s talking over Sadat sounded more like AM radio host harassment than hard reporting.

Can we get a new host?
Great stories, awful host. Has Barbaro ever listened to himself? Has anyone ever counted the loud intrusive “hmmmms”?

Ested Herndon is doing such a great job!!
I love Michael Barbaro but Ested is also wonderful. Would love to hear from him more. Not trying to be disloyal Michael. You’re both so good at asking the right question, leaving just enough silence to respect the subject matter etc…Love the Daily. Especially now that we’re coming out of the pandemic and don’t have three stories a week about Covid.

Great topics but production over-dramatic
I was really enthusiastic about this podcast when it first came out, but I’ve been disappointed more recently by what I perceive to be an overt attempt to dramatize the discussion. This is not only annoying, it also wastes valuable time with sappy musical interludes that would be better used to deliver the high-quality intellectual content that I was excited about when Michael started this series.
