9:30 The Podcast Hour
In the 2 years since it was set up, The New York Times' audio unit has had some big successes.
Just look at 'The Daily'- a 20-odd minute weekday news show, where host Michael Barbaro interviews some of the Times' best journalists about the big stories of the day.
In no time at all it's become one of the most popular podcasts on the planet with 5 million monthly listeners, and annual advertising revenue reported to be worth more than 10 million US dollars.
Meanwhile the 10-part series Caliphate, which is a detailed look at ISIS and how it operates and grows, has been another big hit, with some critics already calling it one of the best podcasts of the year. Photo: Supplied
