The Guardian is launching its podcast rival to “The Daily” and “Up First.”
The growing U.S. outpost of the left-leaning British publication is launching a daily video podcast later this year, Semafor has learned, to compete with the likes of The New York Times and NPR. The show will be co-hosted by WNYC host Kai Wright and The Guardian’s Carter Sherman, and will have a staff of 10 employees.
“This is a major step in bringing our audio and video journalism to American audiences, showcasing the breadth of our global content and reporting muscle,” Guardian US editor Betsy Reed told Semafor. “It’s also the latest chapter of our ongoing U.S. expansion and a chance to show more Americans the Guardian’s unique brand of journalism: global, independent and free.”
