Our podcasts and other audio are also pretty convenient when reading or viewing Times content isn't an option. So, here's a New York Times Audio primer, and a bit more. New York Times Audio EFTA00696891 Once there was the golden age of radio; this may turn out to be the golden age of digital audio. We invite you to sample the world of Times Audio, presenting our journalists and others talking about a wide range of topics.

SIGN UP CATCH UP WITH NYT EXECUTIVE PRODUCER OF AUDIO Lisa Tobin Lisa Tobin Lisa oversees the development and production of The New York Times's audio report.

At WBUR, Lisa also served as senior producer for innovation, and she created Audiofiles, the first database of notable audio storytelling. WHAT DREW YOU TO THE TIMES AND OUR EXPANDING AUDIO INITIATIVE? EFTA00696893 The question being posed by The Times was alluring: "What should The New York Times sound like?" I was struck by what a big and existential question that was for a traditional news organization to be asking. And it indicated to me that the thinking behind this initiative was quite progressive — that The Times shouldn't sound the same as it reads. Audio is a distinct medium. The Times understands that. And so I think it's the most exciting place to be making audio right now. The challenge at The Times will never be finding great voices to work with or great stories to tell. It's about choosing from a staggering number of possibilities and focusing on the few, thoughtfully selected projects that demand to be done in audio. Those projects that are best told through this medium with its particular strengths — intimacy, immediacy, transparency and voice. IN THE WORLD OF JOURNALISM, WHAT DISTINCT REWARDS AND CHALLENGES DOES AUDIO PRESENT, COMPARED TO PRINT AND VIDEO? Audio is at its heart a medium that engages its listeners. We talk about it as a "one-to-one" relationship between the listener and the person behind the microphone. We grow attached to the voice in our earbuds. One of the few universal truths of successful audio programming is a host that people like and feel connected to and find authentic. This is a relationship that's harder for writers — especially journalists — to form with their audience. We're bringing the byline to life. With that comes loyalty. You want to come back to the people you care about. And most audio programming is consistent in its delivery — you can count on the next episode being there every day, or on a certain day every week. The Times can't be beat for in-depth coverage of the most important stories of our time. But it can be difficult to connect in an emotional way to those stories through traditional print reporting. Audio is singular in this regard. We read dozens of stories about the refugee crisis, but it's only after hearing a father's voice break as he describes the harrowing journey he took with his children that the humanity of the situation fully resonates with us. And we need both — the reporting and the voices. When I talked about finding those projects at The Times that demand to be told in audio, this is one of the things we're considering — what are the stories of our time that voice will be able to most powerfully illuminate and bring to life?
