The New York Times’ Daily podcast has hit a billion
downloads.
Since the
first episode in February 2017, “The Daily” has featured 224 Times colleagues
in at least 30 countries across 691 episodes, according to The Times.
The most
downloaded episode of 2019 — and in the podcast’s history — was “Reckoning With
the Real Michael Jackson.” The most downloaded episode from 2018 was “The
Blasey-Kavanaugh Hearing.” The most downloaded episode from 2017 was “A Hate
Crime, or a Wound from War?”
The
twenty-minute, five-day-a week show is hosted by Times journalist Michael
Barbaro.
The New
York Times Company mentioned the podcast in its comments on its 2019
second-quarter results. “It was a good quarter for advertising with total advertising
revenue growing slightly. Digital advertising grew by almost 14 percent with
strong performances in direct sales, including from ‘The Daily’ podcast and
creative services,” according to the company.
