The Daily - The New York Times

One of the signature achievements in podcasting this year, The Daily gives listeners a seat at the table with Times reporters, raising the journalistic bar and inspiring a wave of imitators.

Michael Barbaro, host of The New York Times’ podcast The Daily, and Zoe Chace, reporter and producer for This American Life, spoke in conversation with acclaimed author - and a podcaster himself - Columbia Journalism School Professor Daniel Alarcón. Listen to On Assignment podcast for their conversation about the rewards and challenges of making stories for audio, the "tyranny of the good talker," and the sense of intimacy that comes from the voice alone.
