Introduction of Audio Subscription by The New York Times
A new audio subscription is being launched by The New York Times that will provide both current and new All Access or Home Delivery subscribers with full access to all audio content, including popular shows like The Daily and The Ezra Klein Show. For those who only want the audio content, a standalone subscription option will also be available. However, recent episodes will still remain free for everyone on platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, allowing listeners continued access to new content without the need for a subscription. This initiative aims to support the creative work of podcast producers while bolstering the sustainability of The New York Times' audio endeavors.
