Coming Soon: The New Yorker Radio Hour

The New Yorker Radio Hour serves as an experimental extension of The New Yorker Magazine, transitioning its signature storytelling, profiles, and humor into a dedicated audio format. Based at One World Trade Center, the program features a collaborative effort between writers, artists, and editors to explore the human condition and contemporary ideas. Key discussions include reflections on Malcolm X’s vision of social separation and personal narratives, such as the connection between Bob Dylan and a subject's father. The program draws inspiration from the rich history of late-night radio, aiming to transport listeners to diverse worlds through in-depth conversations and global reporting from locations like New York City and Cuba. This co-production with WNYC Studios positions itself not as a mere audio version of print content, but as a distinct medium for exploring the complexities of modern life.
