The Daily T is a new daily podcast hosted by Camilla Tominey and Kamal Ahmed being launched by The Telegraph next month.
This news comes as Kamal Ahmed joins The Telegraph as Director of Audio with responsibility for editorial audio output, overall audio strategy, and oversight of The Telegraph’s podcasts.
In addition to this, the former Editorial Director of BBC News and co-founder of The News Movement will co-host the new daily podcast with Associate Editor and Executive Editor, Camilla Tominey.
In her new role as Executive Editor, Camilla will be Editor of The Daily T, as well as co-host, and be responsible for its editorial and audience strategy.
Launching in May, the new podcast will include news, interviews, debate and discussion from The Telegraph’s newsroom.
Every Monday to Thursday at 5pm The Daily T will feature a different perspective on topics of the moment and each Friday there will be a special weekend edition with guest hosts and an in-depth look into relevant topics of the week as well as lifestyle features and more.
Camilla Tominey said: “With a huge year of news ahead, from elections to the Olympics, I’m thrilled to be launching The Daily T supported by my brilliant co-host Kamal Ahmed.
“The Daily T will be recorded directly from the newsroom, bringing the power of The Telegraph’s award-winning journalism to life.
“As journalists ourselves we will aim to elevate discussions beyond generic reaction to really get to the heart of topical issues that matter most to listeners.”
Kamal Ahmed added: “I’m delighted to be rejoining The Telegraph at a pivotal time in their editorial journey. The audio team already reaches an engaged global audience through their award-winning podcasts such as Ukraine:The Latest, and Bed of Lies.
“Building on this success, a new daily news podcast brings a huge opportunity to reach The Telegraph audience and beyond in new ways, giving readers the option to consume the news on their preferred platform.
“The Daily T will be quick to react to the big issues and inform our great audiences – and there is no one better to be doing this with than Camilla, whip smart, funny and with a wealth of experience.”
