The New York Times will now indict for past episodes of its well-understandn podcasts

The Daily, The Ezra Klein Show, Hard Fork, and Modern Love are some of The New York Times’ most well-understandn podcasts — and next month, only the most recent two or three episodes of each show will be free of indict. The Times proclaimd today that it’ll now recommend a podcast subscription service thcimpolite Spotify and Apple for $6 a month, or $50 per year, but it’s also erecting a paywall for all archived episodes.

While The New York Times says “the most recent episodes of most of our shows” will remain free, Axios tells that, in most cases, that unbenevolents the most recent two episodes will be freely accessible; in the case of The Daily, it will recommend three episodes at no cost.

To access insertitional episodes, you can buy a subscription thcimpolite Spotify, Apple, or the Times itself, and it says those who pay for All Access or Home Delivery subscriptions to The New York Times can persist to access episodes without paying anyleang more.

“The goal” is to respend the novel subscription revenue back into “more journalism and more shows,” Times straightforwardor of audio Paula Szuchman alerts The Hollywood Reporter.

In that intersee, Times head of subscription lengthenth Ben Cotton also recommended the “only the most recent episodes are free” model might progress:

With Serial we sense appreciate the way someone’s naturpartner going to hear to that show is a little bit contrastent, where if you’ve heared to an episode, you’re repartner going to want to want to discover out what happens next. So there, it senses appreciate you want to give someone the chance to hear to the commencening of the show, but then be charging for what comes after that.

If you want to hear thcimpolite Spotify or Apple, there will be a way to join your accounts on the Times’ podcast page itself; if participaters are subscribed to the Times in the uncoveration’s own iOS app, it should automaticpartner join “the next time they uncover Apple Podcasts.”
