As her new CNN podcast launches, AudieCornish talks to nwquah about her career, her old job, and the curious state of the longform interview
I’m thinking about what you said earlier about missing the podcasting boom. Could you talk more about that?
All the rules we had to fit ourselves into to make sure things were good for terrestrial radio … suddenly there was a whole different set of factors that could be so fun to play with. If you want to make a podcast about, well, there’s an audience for that. There’s no feeling of “that seems a little niche,” because niche was the name of the game.
Sure? I guess I’m a public figure in the sense that all journalists are. You’re doing a kind of work that is for the public in public. I consider myself someone who is in public service, because I grew up in public-service journalism. It may sound silly to say that now from a corporate setting, but for me, that’s how I started in this line of work.
First of all, that sounds like a really healthy way to live. It’s interesting, because the response to your departure, I thought, was a response to you as a regular public presence in people’s lives, but it was a response to you as a symbol of whatever’s happening with NPR and its relationship to institutional diversity, right? I was going back through your Twitter thread from the time.The GIFs were very important.
I didn’t realize the depth of connection people felt they had with me. Because in my experience at NPR, there was always the sense that the brand was bigger than any of us.No matter what, I wanted to sit down with people. So that was going to be an interview show. The podcast I’m doing now? Also an interview show.
No, no. I’m getting into a new medium. I really want to learn. There’s probably different ways to write a story and script and report that take advantage of visuals in a way that I’ve never gotten to do, and I really want to learn that. I wanna learn how to sit behind a desk and read a prompter. I wanna learn how to be in a big space and command it and just embrace all of that.
