The success of The Daily — the podcast from The New York Times — has led the organization to expand the show to seven days per week.
Beginning on Sunday, the podcast will now release an episode on that day, completing the expansion to each day of the week. Previously, the podcast released six episodes per week, with Sunday being the lone day without a release.
“Sunday will be a time to lean back and listen to stories and conversations that surprise, delight or help us understand this moment,” Deputy Managing Editor Sam Dolnick, Director of Audio Paula Szuchman, and The Daily‘s Executive Producer Ben Calhoun said in a joint statement.
Michael Barbaro, Natalie Kitroeff, and Rachel Abrams will continue to host the program on its new edition. Wendy Dorr, one of the executive producers of The Daily, will lead the Sunday edition.
The outlet says it will experiment with the edition, looking at its format and content as the program progresses.
The Daily is one of the most popular podcasts — regardless of genre — in the country. In the latest rankings from Podtrac, it was the second most-listened-to show in the United States.
