I like that they report on a current event or topic with depth from all angles to provide a clear picture of the facts.

Weinstein is a deplorable predator. So is your view on how the law works. Love the framing of traditionalist judges versus “realist.” Way to maintain journalistic objectivity, oh wait- that went out ages ago. The legal system is there to objectively pursue justice, not give you what you want. Is it possible Weinstein is an evil bastard, ANDhis prosecutors bungled this case. Do better Daily. We’re counting on you

Used to love it but it’s so incredibly disappointing to see how one way and biased their reporting is. I guess I don’t know why I expected more from the NYT. It’s gotten so bad it’s to the point where it’s basically propaganda instead of journalism. What a shame!!

Really enjoy the show.

How do you do an entire episode about protests without talking to a SINGLE PROTESTER? Laughable…

Is speaking in identically clipped sentences a prerequisite to being a host on this podcast? And, given your target audience, must you both repeat/summarize everything your guests have just said? You provide good and timely info, but the delivery and repetition by the hosts gets in the way, sadly.

Used to be one of my favorite podcasts but had to stopped listening due to extremely biased coverage of Israel’s role in current events.

Care to mention the “We ARE Hamas, pig” contingent of these humanitarian protesters?

Sponsored by Exxon now? Yikes.

Good enough

After you skip the intro ads the podcast itself is insightful and witty. Honestly, it’s worth a listen sometimes. However, their usage of mood music to set a tone or convey feeling to a piece is EXTREME at the low end. I’ve had to adjust setting just to hear people speak sometimes… so assuming you are ok with ads and INTENSE mood music, it can be ok. Additionally, is this music used for filler? There’s noticeable gaps with nothing except this random music playing for 10+ seconds sometimes.

Sabrina, sometimes your tone sounds inappropriate to the moment. When asking about the devastation to Ukraine caused by our failure to fund them, your tone sounded almost gleeful. It’s also happened other times when the topic is sad or horrifying, your tone sounds intensely interested in a happy, kind of awful way. This American Life is able to cover similarly intense topics and match tone in a way that feels caring—a shift in that direction would be helpful. I never leave reviews and want to support you as a strong female journalist—but it’s really hard to listen to. Otherwise—love and loyal to the show.

Wild how pro war NYT is

I used to like this podcast but as more world events unfolded it became utterly clear you can’t get anything but western and corporate bias talking points from the NYT.

Give it a rest, Michael. Just speak in a normal voice. This breathless dramatic talk really diminishes your credibility.

This is definitely one of my go to podcasts. It is well produced, informative, and engaging. It’s also a perfect springboard into understanding current events and other important cultural issues often inspiring me to take a deeper dive in order to learn more about the presented content. Thank you and please keep up the good work.

Sabrina…stop paraphrasing every third sentence. It’s so odd. The episodes are literally 10% longer because you keep just repeating, in your own words, what was already said.

I’m a huge fan of The Daily. Great stories and reports. One thing I would love your team to implement is a training or best practices for your reporters. A couple would be: - Try not to repeat certain words or use them at all. For example, starting every sentence with so or yeah. - Also, please do not have anyone on who has vocal fry. - Coach reporters to end sentences with definitive intonation instead of upspeak or an upward infection. If they are making a statement or saying a fact or report, it shouldn’t sound like a question. Give a listen to the episode from 4/17 and you will hear what I’m referring to. When you have these best practices, it will drastically improve the quality of your reporting and your listeners experience.

I was so disappointed by the lack of factual research and the one-sided reporting in the story on homelessness and the Grant’s Pass case before the Supreme Court, that I am canceling my podcast following. Smoking is not the issue keeping the unhoused out of area shelters. Please visit Olympia Washington where drugs, filth, and crime have overtaken our town. Make sure you remain healthy as the ER is continually overwhelmed by people experiencing mental health and drug problems. An area near the hospital and bordering a protected wetland know as “the jungle” is now “home” to hundreds of people under tarps and make shift structures. Emergency personnel can no longer enter the area to help the victims of overdose and sex crimes. There is no compassion in allowing this to continue. The police readily share with community members who are victimized that if they committed the crimes of jungle residents, they would be charged and in jail. Not so so for the rock throwing, public masturbating, and open injecting unhoused. The NYT and Daily missed it, big time!

Every time you hear someone say one of these words take a drink. Best podcast for getting your buzz on.

Thanks for bringing your in-depth reporting to the podcast space. This is one of the key ways I stay connected to what’s going on domestically and globally. And I love hearing from the reporters themselves, not only through their writing.

So you go into detail about everything on trumps day1 trial but you make no mention some basic info like being past the astute of limitations and the fact that the DOJ didnt think there was enough to bring a case against him. You guys are not news, its always one side pushing the narrative your readers want.

I really do love it. I am always excited to see what new topic The Daily will cover. I feel that the coverage is relevant to the topics of the day. The way the information is presented is accessible and understandable for all. The Daily is a compelling and always-informative part of my everyday.

Please bring back the cymbals and theme drum music mixing to the cold opens. The new-ish “original music” isn’t cutting it. As an avid Daily listener since day one, I feel that it is owed to me and others like me. I promise once yall make this fix I will gladly tack on that last star ⭐️ to my review. Please…? 🙏🏻

Listening to the Daily is part of my morning routine, can’t not keep up with it. But please please PLEASE stop having guests on with vocal fry, man or woman! It’s very distracting and frankly hard to hearrrrrrr

Please stop giving the woman with the affected vocal fry on the air (Laura?). It’s impossible to listen to.

As a trial attorney, your latest episode suggesting Trump was falling asleep “during the trial” is low hanging fruit and downright embarrassing. The time before the jury is brought into the courtroom, where attorneys engage in legal arguments, is not part of the trial and would put anyone to sleep. I’ve seen judges themselves nodding off when attorneys go on too long.

A huge fan of the show, today’s vocal fry was horrific and unfortunately I couldn’t listen to the full episode. Please set better expectations for your guest speakers.

I love your show but the vocal fry of this guest reporter makes it almost impossible To listen to.

This program is consistently excellent but today’s episode was especially well done. Kim Tingley and Sabrina Tavernese made a complex topic understandable without oversimplifying. They both described the problem well and addressed the difficulties with finding good solutions. Thank you for all the hard work that went into this episode and the show in general.

This is a great show with very interesting topics. Sabrina Tavernisi is *chef’s kiss*. My problem with the show is that some of the guest/reporters have such bad vocal fry that I’m unable to finish the episodes.

Please tell your guests to not start each answer with “yeah.”

When is The Daily doing an episode any the Memo censoring language journalist can use ?

I appreciate the variety of content and listen regularly but your bias and left-leaning views simply cannot be disguised.

It’s impressive how much of a bias, in favor of Israel, a supposedly non-biased media company can have. Though it should come as no surprise given who runs the Times. Do not pay for or subscribe to them, they are not and should not be considered as true fact based journalism anymore similar to Fox News.

Topics feel repetitive and narrow in their focus given the breadth of available stories

There is a particular response noise that Michael and Sabrina make whenever they are interviewing someone and I find it hilarious. It almost feels like an SNL sketch that’s how funny it is to me. It has become so distracting someone will be talking and they will say“MMMMM“ or “HMMMM“. It is distracting, especially during very serious stories. It feels like a canned response to let the person know that they’re still listening, but obviously they’re still listening because it’s so curated it’s more with a podcast like for me to hear the words of the interview then it is for me to hear the host response with cow noises, it’s too funny it makes it seem like parody and I don’t know how anyone thinks that those sounds are OK to produce on a serious journalism podcast. It’s just very very silly guys…stop it.

Your coverage of the Israel-Palestine issue is very one-sided in favor of the Israeli narrative. As a result you have lost all legitimacy as a news organization and I will not consume any more of your coverage on any topic.

This is obviously a tragedy for so many people, but by the end of this episode the only thing I could think you forgot to ask this former law enforcement agent was “but, what were you wearing?”.

All this coverage about every minutia of the Israel/Hamas war and not a peep after the unprecedented attack by Iran. Just so disappointed with the way stories are chosen. Clear misuse of their immense platform and bias for one kind of narrative.

Thank you

Okay this is suppose to be a news organization, but on a day you have breaking news. Iran attacks Israel and the Liberal”s talk about old news Trump and Stormy Daniels. Please stop being bias and cover the news not the Liberal agenda. This is a clear example of why no one trust the mainstream media now. At least be up front and label your stories Liberal bias so everyone will know.

The Daily is consistently well made and interesting. But its left bias has become irksome. If the NYT at least tried to be neutral, it would win over more paying customers. As a business, isn’t that what it wants?

No matter the topic, The Daily is always worth listening to. It’s great to hear directly from NYT reporters who cover the area.

I really enjoy it and you will too. I personally don’t big Pharma commercials but they are far and few in between.

This is so painful to listen to. Questions: Does James have a memory issue or traumatic brain injury or did he have a stroke that impaired his judgment? I know I am not him and I wasn’t the one being manipulated. I just wonder why in the world would he have given away so much of his and his wife’s money? Is there something going on that he doesn’t talk about? Please people do research before giving anyone your money, and if it is too goo to be true, IT ISNT TRUE!! I am angry for his wife, here he is making this horrible decision to give their money away, he was basically gambling. So maybe he has a gambling addiction as well as cognitive dissonance and a memory/intellectual disability.

I’m certain she is a great reporter, but she is not cut out to host this show. How can you all not see that? Very hard to listen to the monotone phrasing and responses.

Former state trooper giving away all his money was pretty funny. His Wife should leave him for this

Nearly EVERYONE in the comments has the same issues with the show.

I have to be honest: I am having hard time listening to this very pronounced German accent. It’s not nearly as enjoyable as listening to Michael and the other host. Sorry………
