For years, New York Times Opinion has been more than just ink on a page. Our audiences have come to expect a dynamic digital offering that includes compelling text, stunning video, sharp graphics, rich design and immersive audio from across a broad spectrum of writers and thinkers. The ideas and arguments found in the work of the section are no longer confined to one medium or another, and we hope you've noticed and enjoyed that diversity.
In 2023, Opinion Audio premiered "The Opinions," a show that brings the work of the section to life in audio. Episodes, each clocking in at about 10 minutes, feature columnists, staff writers, guest essayists or editors who take a deeper dive into their work, helping listeners get a little closer to them as writers or thinkers and what to make of the news.
Since the beginning last year, these audio pieces have been available exclusively to subscribers. Listenership has steadily risen, and we know there is growing demand for the show off platform. So I take great pleasure in announcing that, starting on Monday, "The Opinions" will be available wherever you get your podcasts. You can listen to the trailer on Apple or Spotify.
Episodes will be released Monday through Thursday and respond to the big issues and ideas of the week, featuring the Opinion columnists you know and writers who may be new to you. We hope they will help listeners continue to shape their own opinions by listening to perspectives from across Times Opinion.
The Times is proud to continue to be on the cutting edge of what opinion journalism can look - and sound - like.
