TimesTalks Festival: The Daily

[@gracemir2]

The Daily is my favorite of all podcasts. Yeah, I love how he talks in The Daily and his voice

[@CaliforniaGirl-qk5kq]

Daily podcast should be posted by Times on KZbin as a video.

Why did Barbaro cry on the podcast when that coal miner accused him of never having visited a coal mine? And why was it left in after editing? Aside from the accusation being completely irrelevant, making Barabro's response somewhat inexplicable, why would something so unprofessional be allowed to air? Is it because this podcast is really just an exercise in liberal navel gazing? I think it might be.

Because editing out might have been seen as fraudulent or disingenuous or hypocritical?

[@dannypockets]

The program is already highly edited, it's not a single take from start to finish. Even if it weren't, why would an edited interview be considered fraudulent or hypocritical? You know, I'd forgot about this, but now I'm annoyed by it again. I still think he cried because he lives in a liberal bubble where once you've been "called out" and publicly shamed, the only acceptable response is to make an overt display of contrition to signal that you acknowledge the shame. It's just theater, completely disingenuous. I haven't trusted the podcast since. But I suppose it really thrilled the listeners who have become the target demographic for NY Times.

[@TheRockerdunny]

I haven't listened to that specific podcast but I'd like to think he truly was left speechless and that the answer he gave in this video is how he truly felt. I also don't think you should stop listening to the show because of one incident that seemed theatrical. He seems like a rather genuine and good-meaning person.

Danny Pockets if it helps, dear Danny, he's not the only one who cried. I'm not exactly a Liberal (though the prospect of reverting to coal wasn't thrilling for me given the role the US has to play in the climate change policymaking process) but I recalled stories of my late grandfather toiling and struggling to raise ten children (all under the age of thirteen) over the East African coast and hinterland. I cried because I realised that it was so late in the game that even sensitive people like Barbaro, whom I genuinely thinks has a gift, seemed to realise that the neoliberal promises had failed in the Global North. I live in England - we have the same problem. Whole swathes of the country have been left out and I can understandably recognise why the Brexit debate here is so furiously polarising, or why xenophobia is on the rise (I watched a debate between an Islamic scholar and a right wing activist wherein the latter didn't seem so interested in the minutiae of Islam so much as he talked about 'working class fears'). Short of Trump and his strange coalition of the moral majority, I can't think of anything other than a Sanders'-led FDR coalition to regenerate the non-coastal parts of the US to return any semblance of hope in the US. The coalminer in question had black-lung disease, yet would make that same choice again despite it ravaging his body. And for that, anyone with a social conscience must wonder why? And what, or rather whom, have they forgotten to prioritise.

[@dannypockets]

I don't think that's why he cried, but I appreciated reading your reply. Cheers!

At first I was intrigued but then I noticed the single use plastic water bottles!!! I had to turn it off imediatly. Such a terrible example to show on a show that is intended for as many people as possible to watch. Ironically they speak on environmental responsibility in this talk. Furthermore in my opinion, There view on this guy and billions of other people like him is wrong... If you would like to here my reason why the please feel free to ask

[@gggnumber1]

Your comment is a mess. Your looking for hypocrisy in others, when it is your own.

Geezus, take a pill.
