It's a hyperbolic version of myself. And I think it keeps it fun for me. It doesn't feel like a job. Ideally, it keeps it fun for readers.

Because it's really scary to just go out and report and have trust that there's going to be interesting things and that if you just keep going, you're going to find them. So to not foreclose possibility and options and ideas is the biggest reporting challenge for those s...
Episode 518: Jonathan Goldstein
January 18, 2023 17:21 - 1 hourJonathan Goldstein is an audio producer and the host of Heavyweight. “I wasn’t taking myself very seriously, initially. I liked working with my friends and family because I think I was a little more comfortable with them.

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.

It's my journalism.” Show notes: @AudieCornish Cornish's NPR archi...

Then the story is worth telling. But if I don’t really have a question or if my question is already answered, then ma...

And like, isn't that what you're doing if you're trying to get someone to listen to eight episodes, s...

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.
