  • Puff piece.

    Remnick’s interview with Steve Hilton offered very little pushback at critical moments — and to the minimal point that the host did, he just came off whiny. Hilton is running on “Caldoge”? Hilton (successfully) manipulates Remnick with the disingenuous (and laughable) comeback that it’s just a name. Using the name of an effort that has caused and will continue to cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands of less-advantaged people (i.e. without the advantages of host and guest) is not worth menti... more

  • Steve Hilton

    Usually one of the best interviewers going around but unfortunately this interview became more about his dislike of Trump. Would have been beneficial to hear what Hilton’s plans for California are rather than continually harping on Trump.

  • Transcript is useless!

    The transcript for The New Yorker Radio Hour is useless because it does not stay in sync with the conversation, but keeps running several paragraphs ahead. One has to be vigilant to manually keep them together, making it difficult to listen attentively.

  • Frequent editing errors

    They don’t seem to bother to listen to their own episodes before publishing. Having several multi minute loops per episode is a poor showing for a reputable magazine.

  • 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.

The U.F.C. President, Dana White, on Donald Trump: “He’s Not a Racist”
Q: How did the Rogan endorsement come about and how did it influence politics and the UFC's reach?

The U.F.C. President, Dana White, on Donald Trump: “He’s Not a Racist”
Q: What was your approach to promoting UFC across media channels and avoiding a 'freak show' image?
White recounts pushing UFC to be regulated, moving away from sensationalism, and using television and radio integrations to broaden audiences while emphasizing sport and strategy rather than hype.
The U.F.C. President, Dana White, on Donald Trump: “He’s Not a Racist”
Q: Tell me about your origins with Donald Trump and what drew you to form a relationship.
White explains that Trump's initial involvement came through his Atlantic City casinos and that Trump was supportive of UFC early on; over the years, their friendship grew based on mutual respect, business instincts, and shared experiences at events like the Taj Mahal fights.
The History Wars and America at 250, with the Historian Jill Lepore
Q: What is distinctive about the way this moment is being commemorated in 2026 compared to 1776 or 1876?
Lepore and Cobb discuss how commemorations tilt toward public symbolism, nostalgia, and political messaging, while also highlighting the ongoing debate about whose history gets foregrounded and why.
Growing Up with a Mother in Prison
Q: How did your work on the book change after your mother was released from prison?
The release allowed a more direct confrontation with the past; had she remained incarcerated, the author suggests the tragedy would have remained more closed off, whereas her release enabled a clearer reckoning with what was endured and how to express it in fiction.
