Alles gesagt? - David Remnick, what is the secret of "The New Yorker"?
He leads one of the world's most influential magazines, has authored
several international bestsellers, and has won the Pulitzer Prize: Now,
David Remnick, editor-in-chief of "The New Yorker", joins ZEIT's endless
podcast. On the day this episode is released – February 21, 2025 – "The
New Yorker" will celebrate its 100th anniversary. David Remnick has been
the magazine'äs editor-in-chief since 1998.
In this podcast, he discusses Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, Elon Musk
and Bill Gates, the political state of the U.S., Russia, and Israel in
2025, the rise of the new American tech oligarchy, and the global
migration crisis. He also delves into the history of fascism and the
future of democracy. He shares stories about never-published "New
Yorker" covers, the role of media in a digital world, and his legendary
essay – read 6.5 million times – which he wrote at 2 a.m. on the night
of Donald Trump's first election victory.
David Remnick was born in 1958 in Hackensack, New Jersey. In 1982, he
became a reporter for "The Washington Post", before joining The "New
Yorker" in 1992. His book "Lenin's Tomb" (1993) won the Pulitzer Prize,
and he later published biographies of Muhammad Ali, Barack Obama, and
Bruce Springsteen.
In conversation with hosts Jochen Wegner and Christoph Amend, Remnick
reflects on his time as a reporter in Moscow in the late 1980s and early
1990s, as the Soviet Union collapsed. He recalls a visit to Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his time as a street musician in
Paris, his experiences with therapy, and his friendship with writer
Philip Roth. He also recounts a trip to Africa with Bill Clinton,
encounters with his idol Bob Dylan, and a memorable performance as a
guitarist alongside Patti Smith.
