Rachel and Natalie are great - excited to hear them regularly.

Too political

talking about his drug use is one thing but going into detail about how many kids he has seems like youre reallly just trying to take the guy down because he is pro Trump. At his worst, lets say a drug addict, he is still changing the world with his innovations and is doing more to help the world more than 99.9% of the rest pf us. Why dont you spend your time figuring out how to get your party to move past AOC, Bernie, Harris, Walz, they are lame.

Elon Musk episode was an example of how far the New York Times has fallen.

It really goes deep into issues and gives a lot of background info. The reporters ask the tough questions and really do their research in order to present the information. I know I don’t always agree and wish they would ask more people to get information but seeing anti-vaxxers being upset makes me think they are doing the right kind of reporting.

LL = LEFTIES LYING 🤥

It would be so refreshing and interesting if you were to cover stories from a more conservative point of view and stop the incessant leftist, yak, yak yak .

When I realized that your network were complicit in helping the Zionist state hiding and whitewashing their crimes. I do not want to be following any of your media. If you have anything to say, show me

I used to listen to The Daily every morning — it was one of my go-to sources for clear, thoughtful reporting. They really felt like leaders of the “fourth branch of government,” helping us all make sense of the issues that shape our lives. But something has definitely changed over the past year. The tone now feels oddly soft — almost apologetic toward rising authoritarianism, hesitant to call out fascism directly. The analysis feels watered down and cautious, like they’re pulling punches. Honestly, it’s starting to make me wonder who this show is really for now… because it doesn’t feel like it’s for everyday people trying to understand what’s really happening. It’s disappointing to say the least.

Ser. Trump is the ‘Don-Won’ of Trade … he’s the “Mac Daddy” … the “TACO MAC!” ..🫵🏼😎👎 - s.jxn - ga

The Daily is spreading false info about COVID vaccines. This is dangerous and irresponsible. Myocarditis in vaccinated kids is real. Stop denying the truth

I enjoy this show quite a lot. However, at times it borders on MSNBC. For example, today’s show on the change in recommendations for vaccines for children and pregnant women claims they are entirely politically motivated and anti-science but provides no evidence of the efficacy of the vaccines in these populations. I’m not taking sides on the issue, but if the determination of whether something is good or bad is based on the extent to which a cumbersome process is followed seems flawed. That is often the case with this show, which can’t seem to find a conservative point of view with which it agrees. However, it is entertaining, the hosts are interesting, and it considers important issues.

Generally a well researched show, but I’m noticing a lot of frog boiling passivity around issues where norms are being cavalierly broken. The RFK episode from today is a perfect example. Barbaro’s injections seem to validate a clear decadence in norms for the sake of presenting both sides, whether or not one (or both) is acting in good faith. Make The Daily a truth beacon again.

I love the change for Sundays Today’s was excellent

Hate the paywall.

I’ve been a daily listener for years and years and have found myself increasingly disappointed. I’ve had to turn to other sources (shoutout NPR) for real news and reporting on what is currently happening. For example, this week we get a critique on Joe Biden (who has not been in power for nearly 6 months) being old, and a republican interviewing the vice president. No real coverage on what is happening/ “what we should know today.” Disappointed is an understatement.

When I saw the topic of today’s episode - about the young Jewish couple who was murdered by an anti-Semitic, hate-fueled “free Palestine” terrorist, I thought the focus would be on their loss of life and the appalling prevalence and acceptance of anti-semitism. Instead, they were glazed over and Israelis and Jews were essentially blamed for this. Or at least the Israeli government was. Truly disgusting. Goodbye subscription.

I don’t believe there was an episode on Asian politics when Asian people were being murdered or any room for killing Russian people in this country because someone disagrees with the invasion of Ukraine and yet such a genuine exploration on how the politics in Israel could lead to more murders - with the acceptance of such a reality as if that is the natural consequence of politics we don’t agree with - that some people of that nationality are going to be needlessly murdered. Maybe at this point stop normalizing threats of violence and now actual violence against people because of their country’s policies.

I have been a faithful listener and lover of this podcast for YEARS and now suddenly we’re being forced to pay to be able to have access to your content?? Every time I turn around I’m being forced to shell out more $$$ to continue listening to content I love. I don’t have unlimited funds to do that with. This change is super disappointing ya’ll. It’s not right. I have stopped following your podcast for this reason. You are a monolithic size and highly trusted entity in the news world. Please don’t do this to your faithful listeners.

Cuz technoblade never dies

JD Vance? Ick. 🤢

Vance was full of interruptions and logical fallacies. Typical trumpet

Highly value and enjoy the quality and depth, but I was told it would be 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week, ready by 6am. There is not a single episode in my queue that is 20 min. Under 30 min is understandable, but many are much longer than that. Tends to be some repetition, lengthy lead up to questions, and a penchant for talking slowly (perhaps for dramatic effect?).

I can’t tell you how few of your podcasts I listened to anymore because I find your reporting and you’re framing of an issue absolutely contemptible. Talking to JD Vance about faith?? Give me a break! Call fascism what it is speak out, find your balls and speak the truth!

John Eligon makes mention of more pressing issues in Africa here, including Sudan — and it reminded me… wasn’t there a dedicated Sudan episode promised? Barbaro said something about it at the end of an earlier episode. I wonder what happened to it. I hope you do report/release it and help shed light on this important and largely ignored devastation.

I liked this podcast and trusted the information presented for years. The focus on President Biden’s age, and now his cancer diagnosis, has been overly judgmental. For several years now, you have been biased against President Biden, a decent and very relatable man. Trump is a corrupt dangerous liar. There is no comparison!! Trump is seeking vengeance and destruction, and you help Trump with negative speculation about our former President. I lowered my rating from 5 stars to 3 because The Daily is mostly ignoring Trump’s unfitness and dementia. Trump’s ramblings make no sense, but you are still focused on Biden’s declining health.

So I guess tomorrow’s episode will be a thorough round table discussion focusing on the current president’s complete mental decline and dementia (add his ignorance and corruption for good measure). Alas, I know that will never happen.

This show used to expand on NYT headlines and explore investigative reports further. However, it has now devolved into a bunch of talking heads - all of which work for NYT. Somehow people are supposed to believe their interpretations because working for the NYT gives them credibility. When they do have a guest, it’s typically a “man on the street” interview (sometimes I swear one of the journalist was like “I have a friend who has a kid with autism, I can interview her!). NYT has also added paywall blocks to everything on their website. Even if you want to engage in discussion about her episode, you have to sign up for a NYT subscription. It’s a shameless money grab. Lastly, the funny thing is they will never reflect on their own enabling of certain forms of disinformation - the Biden episodes being one of them.

Crisises?

Glad that you guys are elevating this story. I think it’s important to remember the brutality with which White South Africans stole land from the Black indigenous South Africans.

I’ve been listening since its inception and think it’s an important show. There have been a lot of scripted interviews recently. I understand they’re guiding the listener through to a conclusion, but wish they would use the platform to take a strong stance and say what is blatantly corrupt or unacceptable. Unprecedented times call for serious and tough reporting.

Great podcast if you like to hear blatant untruths. There is so much misinformation in each episode that I’ve listened to. Complete disregard for factual information.

Maybe at least mention the elimination of Palestine and its people. Seems odd not to comment on this.

The episode on Afrikaaner’s was so editorialized and only partially factual. The violence there is significant and the law is the law no matter what the journalist said may or may not happen by the government. It’s evident you all hate when white people are treated with respect - killing them and taking their land and promoting backs because their black is not DEI. Wake up New York Times.

Trump united the country against the Progressives. They went so far Left, they left reality. The Identity Politics has made them a piranha. They need to address the Anti White Racism within the Progressive Wing of the Party. They’ve turned their allies into their enemies. The mix of Extreme Toxic Feminism & Extreme Identity Essentialism will be the end of the Democratic Party for a generation

What’s the point of paying so much for a NYTimes subscription if the app and the audio are stuffed with irrelevant, intrusive, and sometimes counter-to-the-topic advertisements? It’s like a black mirror episode.

Love getting news here. Well done.

How are you able to report on Shein without reporting HOW & WHY their prices are so ridiculously low? They do NOT pay their employees a livable wage. Instead, TDS blames it on Trump tariffs. I don’t know how ya’ll sleep at night when you consider yourselves “journalists”. And you never even addressed the lack of quality that Shein produces. The NYT has become a standing joke.

listen to the exaggerated vocal fry of the Fast Fashion reporter. It was so grating that I couldn’t pay attention to what was actually being said. A shame - the content may have been interesting..

This is a new low for The NY Times. Fast fashion is everything that is wrong with our world. It is exploitative to workers, destroys the environment and feeds unbridled consumption. So ironic that one of the hosts is okay with her daughter’s shopping patterns. Just admit that Trump has done one thing right by closing this loophole.

From 5/15/25 - Please don’t let Megan Tobin report/speak on the podcast anymore. The way her voice trails off and extends the word at the end of each sentence makes the show unlistenable!

Takes me beyond my current understanding.

I’ve been listening to The Daily for years and I have always enjoyed the fair and honest reporting. However lately it appears to be somewhat biased. The facts are being reported accurately but the way it’s being discussed doesn’t seem to reflect the severity of the situation. This situation is never something any government official should ever even consider and the fact that it’s being glossed over (albeit mentioned briefly) shows a bias I can no longer support.

Fan since the beginning of the pod. Interested in this subject however for a journalist who specializes in both nature/nurture and siblings, I found it difficult to process the sibling story without any consideration of nature. I mean it was an enlightening story about one family but lacked a broader concept and finding considering the strong data around nature.

This worries me. Justices have no idea of intricacies in providing opt out options. What a strain on schools - boils down to a staffing issue.

Scraping the barrel.

The entire concept sound dreadful

The Daily (as well as its NYT mothership) has been responsible for some of the most grave journalistic crimes in its non/anti-reportage of factual events happening in the occupied Palestinian territories. For 18 months they have ignored or distorted the truth of the unfolding genocide.

I listen to this show and True Anon. They are both equally excellent and very similar

Both the print article and this podcast omitted the fact that Lio XIV ended his first appearance with the traditional prayer, the Hail Mary, To Catholic ears, most traditional and to progressives, the doctrinal reason for including women. Aldo, you mention politics but not prayer. These people actually believe in the guidance of the Holy Spirit found in prayer
