  • F Jennifer Welch

    Fake, plastic, ugly Welch shouldn’t be given a platform. She’s a poisonous vicious malcontent who has no credibility. She’s what’s wrong with society.

    David Remnick is hands down my all time favorite interviewer. He asks the difficult questions with grace and respect. His guests open up in ways that are enlightening.

    This is the second interview of Julie Brown that I have listened to. Thank u for giving her the opportunity to respond to recent release of files. I am so grateful for her drive to pursue the story of/for the victims. Enjoy listening to her even, straight forward, balanced answers to interview questions. So intelligent & clear eyed.

    Good show. Would be better if the host refrained from speaking over the guest.

    It’s now clear that New Yorker thinks their audience is stupid. The interviews with Bari Weiss and Ben Shapiro represent the worst kind of propaganda. Those conversations only serve to obfuscate truth, confuse listeners and infuriate those of us who know the history and are paying attention. Despite an historically unprecedented level of lies, we who dared to investigate for ourselves—with fresh eyes and without bias—the full history of Israel and Zionism are no longer fooled.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is Cuba Trump’s Next Target?
Q: So Ada, what are your initial reactions to Trump's statements about Cuba and the possibility of a takeover?
I think there is no such thing as a friendly takeover of Cuba; such rhetoric ignores Cuban realities and history, and it underscores a pattern of U.S. intervention that has long proved destabilizing rather than liberating for Cubans.
Chloé Zhao on “Hamnet,” Which Is Nominated for Eight Academy Awards
Q: How did you approach writing lines for William Shakespeare for Paul Mescal?
I approached Shakespeare as a living, human person first, allowing the language to serve the emotion rather than dictating the emotion itself, which helped Paul bring a more grounded performance.
Chloé Zhao on “Hamnet,” Which Is Nominated for Eight Academy Awards
Q: How did the project reach you, and what drew you to it?
I was approached during a festival run and felt a powerful pull because the core questions about love, loss, and the human experience felt universal, even though the setting was historical.
Social Media Goes to Court
Q: What is the core claim Haidt and his co-author make about social media and youth mental health?
They argue there is substantial evidence across surveys and studies showing negative mental health impacts, and they propose reframing the debate toward concrete lines of evidence and policy solutions rather than accepting the impossibility of proving causation.
The Evidence on Ozempic to Treat Addiction
Q: How have obesity rates in this country been affected by these drugs?
Khullar mentions that, for the first time in four decades, there's a plateau and decline in obesity rates, which he attributes to GLP-1 medications being a significant factor.
