The New Yorker

Mentioned 15 times across 10 podcasts this week

This Week's Pulse

The New Yorker recently published a double issue featuring Jill Lepore's history of the Declaration of Independence and an interview with Barack Obama by Peter Slevin. Meanwhile, the magazine's Radio Hour continues to expand its programming, covering topics from genocide scholarship to Rand Paul.

Inside the podcast industry, the publication is often viewed as a gold standard for institutional rigor. On On with Kara Swisher, staff writer Patrick Radden Keefe praised the magazine's long-term support, noting, "I've been writing for The New Yorker for 20 years. And so I have a track record." Similarly, on Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!, Ken Jennings highlighted the publication's "rigorous fact-checking standards" as a benchmark for accuracy.

The magazine’s reach extends into complex political profiling and broader corporate imitation. The Daily host Mike Isaac recently cited a "damning article" that painted Sam Altman as "fundamentally untrustworthy." Conversely, Freakonomics Radio host Jonathan Knight noted that the magazine is now "trying to replicate the success of The New York Times" by building out its own gaming division, signaling a pivot toward diversified digital strategy.

The technological innovations continued into the '70s and the '80s, when you saw the explosion of things like 1-800 numbers and automatic call distributors, the devices that can sort and direct calls to specific agents. By the '90s, dialing up a customer servi
