"A chopped, incomplete,"
I have been listening to the NYT audio digest for more than two weeks. In brief, this service is a chopped-up, incomplete version of the daily newspaper. While it is unrealistic to deliver entire stories, the editors have a certain "expertise" of stopping a story in the middle of a significant point. This "leave you hanging" approach forces you to choose between two options: Buy a copy of the newspaper to finish the point or cancel the audio digest. I'm canceling the audio digest. In contrast, the WSJ audio digest is a significant improvement in the delivery of the audio format (political point of view not withstanding.)
