i've been working with lisa tobin, who is formerly of the daily and she's been helping us launch this podcast. So that it has been an absolute privilege and honour to work with her. Every bit of broadcasting, you know, unlike this wit, there's no performance. No perform as was over, we are totally like no performance at ozera. Nothing. But i do think it helps to kind of take a step back and just let the story unfold with the person telling it. Because if not, then, and you know, you're doing a thing which we do in news a lot, which is say, o ky i man t give yo al this information

Lulu Garcia-Navarro is a former war correspondent and host of NPR’s Weekend Edition. Her new podcast, for the New York Times, is First Person.

“I would always say that if you go cover a story and you already know what people are going to say, and you already have it in your head what the outcome is, and there's no surprise there, then that's a story that you shouldn't be working on. You have to allow the opportunity for there to be a journey. And for there to be something at the end of it, that is gonna be like, Wow. I really never thought that. I didn't think that I was coming here to report on that, but I guess that's what I'm here to report on.”
