  • John Lithgow

    I am in a floating state of euphoria having just listened to John Lithgow.

    I first became acquainted with him in “The World According to Garp”. Living in Australia I don’t get to see him on stage. I relaxed completely listening to his mellifluous voice, his political views confirming my admiration of him.

    Thank you, Dianna.

  • Terrible, pompous interviewer

    Get over yourself and stop interrupting literally every guest. It ruins the otherwise well constructed show and has made me lose respect for The New Yorker overall. David Remnick - power has corrupted you and fed your ego so much that you think you serve to blurt out any thought that occurs to you the minute it enters your consciousness. Booooo. Go to therapy

  • Great complement to the magazine

    The New Yorker is truly a one of a kind magazine, covering some really unexpected topics and intriguing people. I love reading an article in the magazine and having the author disxuss it on the podcast. David is fantastic. Tyler says “like@ way too much and I just can’t listen to her.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A Former Federal Prosecutor on Why He Quit Donald Trump’s Department of Justice
Q: What prompted your decision to resign when the indictment related to James Comey was announced?
He describes a combination of personal loyalty, the sense that the institution was being pressured in ways that compromised the rule of law, and a belief that remaining would amount to silent assent to conduct he viewed as unlawful and harmful to national security.
How Donald Trump’s War on Iran Helps Vladimir Putin’s War on Ukraine
Q: What is the nature of the relationship between Ukraine and the US about defense and drone technology?
Rudenko describes a transactional dynamic where Ukraine offers drone tech in exchange for Western air defense systems, and she highlights public skepticism about whether such negotiations will yield lasting security guarantees without broader strategic commitments.
How Donald Trump’s War on Iran Helps Vladimir Putin’s War on Ukraine
Q: How does Zelensky view independent press, and how does that affect reporting from Kyiv?
she notes that Zelensky supports the idea of a free press in theory but often treats it as something to be kept at arm's length in practice, especially during wartime, which has led to limited access for independent reporters and occasional confrontations when questions touch on sensitive security matters.
How Donald Trump’s War on Iran Helps Vladimir Putin’s War on Ukraine
Q: Has the sense of Ukrainian abandonment by the US increased with the war in Iran?
Rudenko explains that while Ukrainians feel betrayed by some Western gestures, it's not mere abandonment; rather, there are concrete policy realignments and competition for scarce resources that complicate support, and Ukrainians are trying to navigate these dynamics while emphasizing the need for reliable security guarantees and robust defense aid.
Sam Altman’s Trust Issues at OpenAI
Q: What did Sam Altman say to his own employees about the military contract versus what he said to the government?
Privately, Altman negotiated the Pentagon contract while publicly presenting clear safety boundaries for Anthropic, revealing a discrepancy between private negotiations and public statements about safety and ethics.
