Rachel Abrams, Host
Rachel was part of the 2018 reporting team that won a Pulitzer Prize for exposing sexual harassment and misconduct. She first crossed paths with the “Daily” team when we made an episode about one of her sources from her MeToo reporting. That was during her time on The Times’s Emmy award-winning television documentary series “The New York Times Presents.”
From the start, Rachel proved to be a natural at “The Daily” – comfortable interviews with newsmakers and colleagues alike. Rachel brings a wide breadth of editorial experience and interest, and a passionate appetite for what she wants to hear on the show – jumping into everything from a conversation with Jeffrey Goldberg during Signalgate, to illuminating episodes on the courts, Elon Musk and cosmetic surgery.
Michael Barbaro, Host
Michael Barbaro is one of the hosts of The Daily, a five-day-a-week audio show from The New York Times. In just one year, the show has built an audience of over one million listeners a day; become the most-downloaded new show in 2017 on Apple Podcasts; won a DuPont-Columbia University Award for audio excellence; and been named a top podcast of the year by Time, Entertainment Weekly, The Atlantic, Esquire, Adweek, The New Yorker and New York Magazine. Before hosting The Daily, Barbaro was a national political correspondent for The New York Times and host of The Run-up, a political podcast that chronicled the 2016 election. Previously, he covered New York's City Hall and the U.S. retail industry. He joined The New York Times in 2005 from The Washington Post, where he began in 2002 as a reporter covering the biotechnology industry. Barbaro graduated from Yale in 2002 with a bachelor's degree in history.
Natalie Kitroeff, Host
Natalie has spent the past five years as an international correspondent and Mexico City bureau chief, where she led courageous reporting on the cartels’ drug trade and corruption at the highest levels of power. Her perspective on trade, border politics and immigration laws will be invaluable to “The Daily” during crucial news moments.
Before Mexico, Natalie was already an award-winning reporter covering the American economy. Anyone who has ever spoken to Natalie recognizes her electric enthusiasm and endless curiosity for every range of story. She has already proven her ability to bring many topics to vibrant life on the show – as both a host and a guest. Natalie has been the beating heart of episodes on everything from global trade to Kendrick Lamar.
