Apple is launching its own daily podcast. The company announced the show on Wednesday along with other news about audio stories coming to Apple News and curated local Apple News collections, as well as the release of iOS 13.6.
The show, called Apple News Today, will be hosted by Apple News editors Shumita Basu and Duarte Geraldino.
New episodes will be released Monday through Friday, and the show will exclusively be available through Apple News and Apple Podcasts in the US, Canada, the UK and Australia.
Apple will also release 20 audio stories a week through Apple News Plus. The stories will be voiced by professional actors, and there will be narrated long-form pieces published by big outlets such as Esquire, GQ, New York magazine, and Vanity Fair.
This will be Apple’s first major foray into podcast production, and the daily news format is an especially crowded one.
