“The Interview” is a new podcast from The New York Times, featuring in-depth conversations with fascinating people. Each week, David Marchese and Lulu Garcia-Navarro will chat with notable figures in the worlds of culture, politics, business, sports, wellness and beyond — illuminating who they are, why they do what they do and how they impact the rest of us.
“The Interview” premieres on April 27, and new episodes will be released weekly on Saturdays. The conversations will also appear online and in print.
Meet the Hosts
LULU GARCIA-NAVARRO is a two-time Peabody Award-winning journalist with years of experience interviewing world leaders, authors, artists and people living on the front lines of a changing world. A longtime international correspondent in the Middle East and Latin America, Lulu was at NPR for 17 years, most recently as the host of “Weekend Edition,” where she reported on everything from #MeToo to immigration to the pandemic. Lulu was also a co-host of the NPR podcast “Up First” and the first Latina at the helm of a flagship show at the broadcaster. Lulu came to the Times in December 2021 to host “First Person,” a New York Times Opinion show about how people come to their deeply held views. She is also an on-air contributor to CNN.
DAVID MARCHESE took over The New York Times Magazine’s Talk column in 2018. Since then he has conducted more than 130 interviews, with figures including Jane Goodall, Yo-Yo Ma, Rosie Perez, Paul Ryan, Bono and Tom Hanks. His interviews are often marked by surprising revelations, deep research and a probing, conversational quality that disarms his subjects (a common refrain is “No one’s ever asked me that before!”). Before joining The Times, David spent four years at New York Magazine, where he set the bar for rigorous, insightful and hugely entertaining long-form Q. and A.s with his In Conversation column.
