Want to learn more? Here is everything you need to know. The Daily Download is a community show designed to bring the readers to the forefront of the Daily Mail’s coverage by including their unique perspective on every story. Every weekday it features the five most important stories for Mail readers, covering both UK and international news, as well as showbiz, sport, royals, health, and science. Each episode is also brought to life with selected audio clips related to the stories, creating a more immersive listening experience. Why has the Daily Download been created? The show is designed to engage our loyal readers by highlighting their views in a new way, powered by the latest technology. It will also expand the Mail's reach beyond its traditional print readership and improve the quality of its digital offering for avid app users. How can I get my comment to appear in an episode? Any reader comment can be selected to appear in an episode, but usually they are picked from among the best rated ones. Readers are encouraged to ensure their usernames are clear, as they will be read out alongside their comments. How is the Daily Download made? The show is created using bespoke software that transforms the Daily Mail’s latest news articles into an audio briefing. Daily Mail editors then use cutting-edge AI text-to-speech technology to bring the comment section alive by giving it a real voice. This technology is also used to create synthetic presenters for the show who read the stories, enabling rapid creation so readers can hear the latest breaking news. Where can I listen to the Daily Download? The show is currently available only in the podcast section of the Daily Mail app here. The show will also appear on the homepage from 8am to 11am UK time every weekday.
