Our Editor's Take

Over the last several years, few websites have grown as quickly as TED and their TED talks. Now, the brand has expanded its social media reach even further with the TED Talks Daily podcast. The podcast continues TED's original mission of shining a light on the brightest minds in the world. By bringing top experts into a public forum, TED continues to help lead the way in education.

The program's host, Elise Hu, creates a dynamic environment for the podcast. Her keen interviewing ability keeps the dialogue moving in a compelling, informative way. Her back-and-forth with guests includes insightful questions to guide the interview. But mostly, she ensures the guests can shine on their own. It is obvious that much of Hu's success as a host has to do with her extensive journalistic experience.

TED Talks Daily, much like its namesake website, covers a wide variety of topics in many fields. Anything and everything can show up as a topic on the podcast. Recent episodes have focused on climate change, empathy, and insulin prices. But this is only a sampling of what's discussed. The show is one of the main programs within the TED audio collective.

The podcast focuses on providing insightful information that's succinct. Every episode averages around 20 minutes long. This timeframe makes them easy to listen to. It also makes them fun to keep up with regularly. New episodes drop every Monday through Friday. Listeners can hear new and old episodes of this podcast on Amazon Music now.
