The Daily

Get Ready for The Daily, Your Audio News Report

A background filled with a blue and yellow gradient. "The Daily" is written in white on the top left and a white "T" logo for The New York Times is on the bottom.

This moment demands an explanation. The Daily is on a mission to find it.

The Daily is a new show from The New York Times and hosted by me, Michael Barbaro. I’m a longtime correspondent for The Times, and I’ve reported on everything from Wal-Mart (which once tapped my phone) to Donald Trump (who called on me to resign).

This is how the news should sound. Fifteen minutes a day, five days a week. It isn’t quite a podcast — although you can listen wherever you listen to podcasts. It isn’t quite the radio — although the mechanics are largely the same. It isn’t quite the newspaper — although we’ll be drawing heavily on the journalism that powers The New York Times.

What is it? Come back on Wednesday to find out. Or follow the instructions below to subscribe so that our first episode is waiting for you on Wednesday morning.

And if you want even more of me in your life (and in your pocket), you can sign up here to chat to me via text message.
