"It's such a great job. Because you can start the hour talking hard politics and you can end the hour getting into the meat of somebody's new album," he says. "I don't think people understand just how incredible that is, how unusual that is." He adds: "We can get really pessimistic because we don't always see the best of people"

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.”
