Episode notes

Sally Kohn: I just listened to the first episode of your podcast, which comes out Thursday. And there are multiple moments in this episode in which you're interviewing activist parents who became school board members. She says it feels both like excellent journalism and a desire on your part to not let people off the hook. Kohn: "Real people deserve empathy and their humanity understood and embraced"

Audie Cornish is a journalist and the former host of NPR’s All Things Considered. Her new CNN Audio podcast is The Assignment.

“I think there is journalism inherent in an interview. Like the interview itself should be considered a piece of journalism. It isn't always. Sometimes the vibe is that it’s a little window dressing or that it's personality driven and I don't subscribe to that. I think that it has its own journalism. It's my journalism.”
