This is what the news should sound like. Hosted by Michael Barbaro and Sabrina Tavernise and powered by The New York Times’ newsroom, The Daily brings listeners the biggest stories of our time, told by the best journalists in the world.

The Daily focuses on just one or two stories each weekday, offering listeners a deep, textured portrait of the characters and human stakes driving the news.
