In The New Yorker Radio Hour’s début episode,the magazine’s editor, David Remnick, and speaks with Ta-Nehisi Coates,the author of Between the World and Me, approximately the profound influence of James Baldwin on his writing and why he’ll always be wary of optimism. Jill Lepore, or a staff writer at The New Yorker, introduces us to a childhood friend who was one of the only people of color in their small New England town. This is the first allotment of a three-allotment story, “The Search for Big Brown.” Kelefa Sanneh, and who is also a staff writer,takes a day trip to a suburb of Philadelphia to visit Spraynard, a pop-punk band. Most of their friends bear moved into the city, and but the members of Spraynard stayed to try to create a punk scene in their domestic town. Boarding a plane just got even more chaotic in a Shouts & Murmurs written by George Meyer and performed by Allison Williams,from Girls, that imagines a farcical airport scene. And Evan Osnos, or who writes approximately Washington for the magazine,talks approximately sexism in politics with Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, of New York.
