  • Worthwhile

    The Daily is consistently good. Not always perfect, sometimes great, it is worth checking out every day. If the topic doesn’t interest me, I’ll turn it off - but that doesn’t often happen. Thank you, NYT!!

  • Out of Touch

    I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that this show, owned by the shill NYT, is continuing to project dubiousness about the DSA. To state that “high earners” (meaning people who make just $150K yearly, a joke) are feeling too aligned with the ruling billionaire class to support DSA candidates is so out of touch. To continue to attempt to invalidate these DSA candidates is disappointing, cynical, and tired. Journalists like you need to start taking accountability for your role in perpetuating the des... more

  • Click bait

    The producers have mastered the art of using annoying affectations to keep people listening for the thrill of the cringe. Sometimes informative. Always millennial trash. These losers need to quit pretending they're my friends and return to a more classic mode of professionalism

  • Ads Ads Ads! What to do??

    Why am I, a subscriber to the NYT, still hearing advertisements during this and other NYT podcasts?? I thought the whole purpose of getting the subscription was to eliminate the bloody ads (i.e., Schwab, etc.,ads). And even an ad for the NYT itself is still an ad.

    As we in U.S. society are being endlessly bombarded with ads, it would be nice if for once I could listen to a podcast I have paid for without any interruptions by ads!!

    Appreciate a daily story. Of course folks are going to leach bias in reviews - for those, maybe go elsewhere? Like the ‘buffoon’ who called NYT NPR….

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is 'Gentle Parenting' Ruining French Children?
Q: Madeleine, what is the tone of the broader public in France—do people feel confident about the path forward or divided?
The public remains deeply divided, with some seeing positive parenting as necessary progress and others viewing it as a threat to traditional discipline, contributing to a broader sense of confusion and emotional debate among parents.
Is 'Gentle Parenting' Ruining French Children?
Q: Madeleine, how are you thinking about which side of the ledger you're going to be favoring as you approach the job?
The host and guest acknowledge the overwhelm of parenting advice and emphasize that trust in one's own instincts is crucial, suggesting a nuanced, individualized approach rather than adherence to a single doctrine.
Is 'Gentle Parenting' Ruining French Children?
Q: Madeleine, how exactly, based on your reporting, are parents in France navigating all of this right now?
Parents are balancing mixed messages from different experts and policies, trying to decide when to set limits and when to be flexible, while larger societal questions about the role of children in public life and parental happiness shape their choices.
Is 'Gentle Parenting' Ruining French Children?
Q: So Madeleine, let's talk about what this pushback led by Carolyn Goldman looks like once she makes the decision that this positive parenting movement has gone too far.
Goldman has become a controversial figure in France, advocating for more boundaries and criticizing excessive empathy in parenting, which has sparked a national debate between supporters of positive parenting and those who view it as potentially harmful. Her views, including longer timeouts and strict boundaries, clash with governmental guidelines and other experts.
Is America’s Drinking Water the Next Front in the Iran War?
Q: But this hack, impacting water systems in states across the country, seems different, is it?
Yes, it appears to be a more sustained, coordinated effort with sophisticated inside access that could quietly neutralize warning systems, raising the risk of contamination and broader national security implications.
