Disappointed in the J & J episode
As a 38 year-old-healthy woman, I am trying to weigh my risk of J &J vaccine and risk of hospitalization with Covid. The Science journalist here made a comment that the blood clot risk is so rare (even though for me it’s roughly one in a million), that the alternative of being hospitalized for Covid is incredibly high. Well for my age and health status, my odds of being hospitalized for Covid are as rare as getting the blood clot. I would hope the NYTimes can be more discerning and nuanced with the data. Why isn’t this journalist being more precise—he is a Science journalist after all.

“Religion”
I usually would give 4 or 5 stars for the reporting on The Daily. However, I get frustrated by the lack of knowledge and nuance on the part of the NYT when reporting on religion. Not all religious people in this country support these “wins.” It would not be hard to get another opinion from a progressive Christian leader about these topics.

you can do better
Surely you have better narrators? The drag and lifelessness in the voices in the episode about the EU’s vaccination issues made me want to give up and die. It’s not possible you don’t have a host or a reporter that might have had some sort of training in public speaking? At least get rid of the vocal fry, you can do better NYT.

Vaccine reporting
I am a daily listener who tunes in with a critical mind. Vaccines do not just go into arms, but into the entire immune system of each recipient. Also, using the phrase “new normal” is a form of indoctrination that is dangerous.

Good but weird vocals
There’s a female host who’s extremely into using vocal fry. It’s really kind of funny but also tiresome and grating. Like nails on a chalkboard. She also has a syncopated way of talking, similar to the male host. His delivery is odd too, as far as being fast and syncopated. Also very distracting when he interrupts a guest to make “HMM” sounds

Great, most of the time
Great reporting and fantastic audio mixing, with the occasional subtle liberal opinion seeping in. As long as you’re really listening, you can differentiate between what the reporter is saying vs what they are thinking, or what Michael is thinking as well. I’ve been listening for years and have gotten used to Michael’s “hmm” and “huh” noises, which I believe actually makes the interviews more human. If you’re listening to this podcast, just know it’s more emotional and more human-like than just a regular article, and if you’re not into that, just read the story instead of listening to it.

Please retire Barbaro
The content is often good, but I’ve stopped listening to it because of Mr. Barbaro’s annoying delivery. The labored pauses, the random cadence, the bizarre refusal to use the past tense. I’ll be back if he’s replaced with a host who can just talk.

Pretentious and Biased Voice
The voice of the host, Michael Barbaro, is distracting from the subject matter, which isn’t especially unbiased news. The “podcast voice” including pausing, vocal fry, and unnecessary emphasis, takes away from serious news matters. He doesn’t add anything to the conversation except repeating already drawn conclusions from the interviewee.

Podcast on European vaccinations a disgrace
Europe plays fair and is then called “not savvy” by the NYT, as in, playing fair “backfires”? And the US doesn’t play by the rules, takes advantage of its leadership position in the world, and is “savvy”? I wonder what you would say if Europe hoarded vaccines - it would be unfair, abusive etc etc. Also, the US is the one indoctrinating the world that it is the defender of a rules-based global system and fighter for free market values. Obviously it doesn’t abide to its own rules, under pressure. Neither can NYT’s reporting integrity be put to test. Btw - you are great reporting US news, pls stop reporting on the rest of the world. I haven’t read a single article or heard a single podcast about non-US news that was not incredibly misleading.

It’s the best!
That’s really it, best podcast, Michael is a legend and an icon. I listen to quick global news podcasts first and then get to look forward to the Daily telling a story that keeps me interested and informed. I feel they are portrayed with ethics and sensitivity. Big fan!

Not Awful
But the ads will make you cringe. And everyone on this show has a terrible case of millennial dumb-voice.

Informative
I love the vast amounts of information I get from this podcast. It’s so informative and I love when you are careful to give both sides. The only times I am off-put is when I feel like maybe you didn’t give the other side because of maybe a cultural bias? For example, I really wanted you to ask the question, in regards to Georgia’s new voting laws: “Why does requiring an ID make it harder for blacks to vote?” I genuinely think wanted to know the answer to that question because everyone has an ID (to buy liquor, cigarettes, to get a hotel room, to fly). Other than those minor things, I get soooo much information from this Podcast and LOVE it!!

Morally and factually dishonest
I’ve been searching for a podcast that doesn’t just give one side of a story but gives actual facts. Sadly this podcast plays only to one side. The reporter reporting on the Derek Chauvin case gave emotional responses to what the prosecution said but did not actually do any journalism. They didn’t research or fact check what each witness said, because sadly many lied about what they said. This has been pointed out on many right leaning podcasts but I cannot find a single left leaning or center leaning podcast that actually does journalism. Only reporting. I’m tired of knowing only conservative journalism looks at facts. Now liberal reporting is only on of emotions and it’s completely dishonest.
