From the New York Times, I'm Rachel Abrams and this is The Daily.
One of the most popular podcasts in the world, The Daily, is to get two new co-hosts, Natalie Kitchroff and Rachel Abrams will join Michael Barbaro as co-hosts as Sabrina Tavernise returns to a reporting role. Rachel hosts today's episode. Natalie and Rachel are the perfect journalists to take us into this new chapter, said Michael Barbaro, although to be fair, he probably said, Natalie... and Rachel... are the... perfect journalists to take us into this new
chapter. Today is DNA Day and also the launch day for Gene Pool Media, a new podcast network dedicated to healthcare and genetics. The new network brings together some of the most influential voices in science to reshape how scientific stories are shared.

Canadians are nice until they're not sorry about the murder. The hit mystery comedy returns for

Welcome to Creators from True Fans, a brand new weekly podcast. I'm independent podcaster Claire Waite-Brown. And I'm Sam Sethi, the CEO of True Fans. Now Claire, Creators, it's something that you and I've decided to do together. What is Creators? Who is it aimed at? And what were we talking about? Well, as you know, Sam, True Fans is great for helping creators with discovery, with interactivity and with monetization. And that is something that we wanted to
highlight with this new show. So it's a weekly show and each week we will highlight a True Fans feature. We will have a look at what's going on more widely in the podcast world or in the podosphere. We will also showcase an independent podcast creator and an independent music artist. What comes after that, Sam? Well, then we want to look at who's supporting or leaving comments for True Fans. So we'll look at the super comments that have been left for each episode and talk
about those. And if someone is also a supporter of the show, then we will highlight them as well. We're also keen to hear from independent creators who would like to be featured on the show. You can get in touch with us by leaving a comment or super comment in True Fans and Sam and I will review and choose shows to highlight on the live episodes. When does it come out, Claire? First episode will be out on
Monday, 28th of April. So remember, subscribe to Creators wherever you get your podcasts, but maybe Best in True Fans.
