  • David Remnick ruins it

    As many others have said, Remnick needs to give space to the conversations he’s hosting. I’ve unsubscribed because so many beautiful moments were ruined by Remnick being unable to control his impulse to interrupt and insert a thought that is unrelated to the moment. I love the New Yorker and I hate this podcast.

  • Quit interrupting!!

    I get it — sometimes a guest might be apt to drone on about something uninteresting. But more often David Remnick interrupts guests when the are actually *answering his question* in an interesting way. It’s so frustrating. Argh.

  • Good guests bad hosts

    David Remnick really needs to stop interrupting people while they’re trying to answer his questions. Give them the space to fully articulate their thoughts and finish their sentences. It’s not only rude; it’s unhelpful. The result is an interview that feels half-baked and frustratingly incomplete—and, ultimately, becomes really annoying for the listener.

  • More interruptions please!

    Remnick is often dealing with public figures who are skilled at getting out talking points instead of imparting real info. Interviewers need to stop being enablers of obfuscation and half-truths and Remnick does a good job of trying to something useful out of such people

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Democrats Might Take Back the House. Then What?
Q: If Democrats take the House, do you think impeachment proceedings are far off for Donald Trump?
Raskin says impeachment remains a constitutional option, but Democrats must consider it alongside urgent public priorities such as restoring health-care coverage and SNAP benefits. He says the decision depends on the political context and that impeachment is one tool among several.
Democrats Might Take Back the House. Then What?
Q: How confident are you that the midterm ballot will be fair, accurately counted, and not contested by the President?
Raskin says he is concerned about gerrymandering and other forms of voter suppression, and expects Trump to regard lost elections as stolen. He says Democrats are prepared to fight within the existing rules.
Defending the Midterms from Donald Trump
Q: What is left for Donald Trump to challenge the midterm ballots, and looking forward to 2028, is it just smooth sailing?
Gellman says uncertainty remains because Trump's allies have raised fears about ICE agents or other law-enforcement personnel at polling places. He says such intimidation could be challenged in court and may prompt a voter backlash.
Defending the Midterms from Donald Trump
Q: What has the Trump Administration tried so far, and what has the system blocked?
The Justice Department sought voter rolls from all 50 states and proposed identifying people it considered ineligible. Gellman says its lawsuits have failed in court, with 27 losses so far.
Despite Reports, Reading Is Alive and Well
Q: What are the statistics or facts that you would say fly in the face of arguments like the one you saw on The Atlantic and many other places?
Heller points to audiobook listening, rising print sales, growth in independent bookstores, and survey data indicating substantial adult book reading.
