Episode notes

Creating podcasts over the years allows the audience to feel like they know the speaker in various ways, whether positive or negative. The evolution of shows and hosts doesn't diminish this sense of familiarity with the content creators. The enduring personal connection established through podcasting is a special aspect worth maintaining and exploring further.

Jay Caspian Kang is a staff writer for The New Yorker and a co-host of Time to Say Goodbye.

“At some point, you have to kick it out the door, and it’s never finished to the degree that you would finish a magazine piece. But it, in some ways, is more interesting because it is produced in a short amount of time, and it’s read as something that is not supposed to be complete. It’s just meant to provoke or to provide thought or whatever, to provide some sort of context on a certain issue or not. And I actually like that a lot better than the magazine writing. I respect the magazine writers—obviously, I was one—but for my disposition now, in my lifestyle, I actually enjoy having to produce this thing every week.”
