A goodbye — and a playlist for the road.
Welcome to the weekend. This is a special edition of our newsletter, because it is our last. |
This is the final time you will receive The Daily newsletter in your inbox. Thank you for all the time you've spent with us over the years — responding to our questions, following our recommendations and engaging with our team's ideas. |
Don't worry — The Daily podcast isn't going anywhere, and New York Times Audio will continue to develop robust and wide-ranging audio programming that aims to help listeners understand the world. |
In today's newsletter, we wanted to share a couple of parting gifts: a summer playlist, and a look back at our time together. |
We hope you enjoy. And stay tuned for updates and new projects from us in the future. |
 | | Included in this year's playlist is Gregory Porter's "1960 What?"Jacob Blickenstaff for The New York Times |

Summer is in full swing, so we asked members of our Audio team to share the songs they've been jamming to — on their road trips, rooftops and extra sweaty commutes. |
We're excited to present the final edition of our annual summer playlist. Follow it on Spotify, and read on for back story behind some of the picks: |
- "Shake the Frost" by Tyler Childers: "For me, this song sounds like home. It's been lapping my Spotify nonstop for weeks now." — Lauren Jackson, audience editor
- "Home" by Two Shell: "This song makes me feel like I am spinning around VERY fast, in a fun way. It's chaotic. And I think that's good summer energy." — Anna Martin, host of Modern Love podcast
|
- "IKYK" by Ogi: "The warmth of the song's soulful sound and lyrics matches so perfectly with that 'windows down sun beaming on you' feeling of summer. Ogi says, 'Brother, I see your heavy load / It seems too hard to bear / But I'll walk with you down this road / This is a burden to share.' It's a love song where family and friendship take center stage in each bar. Such a sentiment to celebrate for the summer!" — Sydney Harper, a producer
|
- "x10" by Koffee: "She's brave enough to drop lyrics, on top of 'Redemption Song' no less, and yet she does it with simplicity and elegance to create an entirely new and warm tale of thankfulness." — Mukul Devichand, programming editor of the NYT Audio app
|
- "Back & Forth" by MK, Jonas Blue and Becky Hill: "The producer, the legend, the master stepped from Will Smith and Quincy Jones's shadow to emerge as a Billboard topper. A new song like all of his: deep, rhythmic, melodic." — Shreeya Sinha, editorial director of the NYT Audio app
|
- "1960 What?" by Gregory Porter: "If you fancy a bit of social consciousness with your dance tracks. A keystone of house dance parties for the last decade. Makes me think of packed, sweaty, humid, frenetic but friendly gatherings of dancers in Fort Greene Park each summer in Brooklyn." — Tara Godvin, senior staff editor

In our very first newsletter, which hit inboxes in February 2019, Michael Barbaro wrote about the names The Daily was almost called (contenders included The Brief, The Meaning and The Story.) He also laid out our goals: "This newsletter grew out of our sense that you might want to better understand how we make the decisions we do," Michael wrote. "How we think about stories. How we process the news. How we use sound." |
So, for our last send, we've compiled some of our team's favorite newsletter moments. |
That's it for the Daily newsletter. And thank you. |
