Next Question with Katie Couric

4,119

Katie Couric is back on the mic with a new season of intimate, urgent and unexpected conversations – this time with a new twist. Along with her signature in-depth one-on-one interviews, she’ll be joined by a number of special guest-hosts for a series of “Katie Plus One” episodes. Together they’ll get to know some of the world’s most interesting and influential people and explore the big ideas percolating in the zeitgeist--but with a focus on slowing down, diving deep, and connecting with each other, a reprieve from a culture obsessed with hot takes and surface-level small talk. Tune in every Thursday and join Katie Couric and her guests for a conversation that feels like a warm hug and a seat at the table.

    Hindsight is 20/20
    Katie interviewed Jen Psaki to discuss the election, and what went wrong for Kamala. She said “Like, if she was asked about changing the Supreme Court at that CNN town hall, she had an opportunity to talk about ethics and what, you know, Supreme Court Justices Alito and Thomas were doing, and she answered, like, in one sentence, and then went on to something that had nothing to do with the question”. “You know, people notice that, and it’s like, ‘Answer the question, please!’” She had an opportunity to speak out before the election, to question why Kamala wasn’t giving in-depth answers. To ask why Kamala wasn’t giving more interviews. She did none of those things.

    Out of Touch
    You do know that you personally have been one of the biggest culprits of stereotyping voting blocks? But thank you though, as it just helped these blocks realize how out of touch the liberal elite (you) and Democratic Party is focusing on a woke agenda instead of common sense issues. Your recent comments (thinking KH wasn’t elected because of gender) only prove you still don’t get it!
  • 19ubersucks
    What you want to know!
    Probing questions along with keen insights from Katie and her guests. Gets to the heart of complicated issues with intelligence and wit. A must listen for those who seek truth in journalism.
  • AmberE
    Katie for President?
    I hadn’t thought about it before today but why not?! She’s so smart and people know her. Great podcast.
  • Glacier1975
    Oh Katie
    I tried to avoid this pod but honestly I have deleted many others and this persists because the question that Katie asks are probing. I think they are uncomfortable at times. And I think we need more of the at in this country. Both sides need it.
  • bearmar
    Oy
    Katie is so quick to criticize Harris. I find it strange considering she told us she obsessed about Trump in 2018 on trains with her husband. Now she said her husband and his friends aren’t on board with Kamala. Super strange as if she almost wants a Trump presidency.
  • Graciewedge01
    Gwen Walz
    Wonderful interview with Mrs. Walz!!
  • laurainminnesota
    Excellent pod with Gwen Walz
    She is so genuine and so is her husband. So refreshing!
  • FastTwitchMedia
    Production values . . .
    . . . are lacking. The host sounds like she’s coming through string and a tin can. Segments aren’t leveled in volume, transition music is barely perceptible. And duplicate ads? X 4!? Whoa, who produces this show?
  • pinacoloda
    Loved the Hacks writers!
    Wow, what a fun and informative and wonderful episode!! I didn’t realize the writers wrote for Broad city and the Mary Tyler Moore show was an inspiration for one of them! Love your podcasts!
  • Betsy Pepine
    Love Katie and her podcast
    Like when she was on air, Katie brings an upbeat, direct approach to her show which I love. Her guests are inspiring and often cause me thing about things in a new way.
  • Simcake
    I just want
    To give a sincere thank you. Avoid the noise.
  • nbsfmc
    Call her Gov!
    Unless you’re calling Biden “Joe,” Gretchen Whitmer is a sitting Governor and deserves the respect of her title. Why do we only do this to women?
  • Indyeche
    Love the podcasts
    Every episode is full of information Love the latest shown with Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer, Thank you
  • agdawg101
    Great topics
    Katie always has current and interesting topics and she discusses them in an easy to digest conversational manner with a dose of much needed humor!
  • drewski21a
    Too Many Commercials!
    I love Katie and she has good guests but the sheer number of ad breaks, five minutes long, from beginning to end made me unsubscribe. Even though you can fast forward through them, it’s annoying to have to do.
  • oakboundbooks
    Katie Couric has an unfortunate “co-host”
    Although I find Katie Couric’s cheerful air at times bordering on insincere and somewhat disingenuous the most egregious aspect of this podcast must be identified as the insufferably pretentious-for-nothing self-identified “co-host” who adds nothing that an AI-generated drone couldn’t contribute while imposing his Google search-derived know how on such matters as transgender political benchmarks on listeners with a shameless absence of humility, as though an authority on each and every topic covered, simply wretched programming. Otherwise I find her as most Americans do a comforting anchoring presence capable of steering conversations away from overly incendiary or circuitous terrain towards a positive stance, albeit always predictably shallow in terms of insightfulness and appreciation for deep understories, seemingly lost or willfully ignored by the seasoned broadcaster.
  • Tracy in St. Louis
    Great podcast
    Katie your daughter was absolutely right when she said “This was an amazing conversation.” Thank you for this podcast on disordered eating - much appreciated. And thank you for continuing to do amazing work on your podcast.
  • kaprn
    Learned So Much
    The podcast about disordered eating was phenomenal. Everyone should listen. As a school nurse for 22 years I could see every thing you were discussing. Mandated heights and weights were so anxiety provoking for many of the students. They were done privately unlike when I was in school. It was always a good teaching moment about health and differences in bodies but I knew I never had enough time with the students. My heart aches for the suffering so many people go through.

    Such a great story letting the women talk so much without interruption

    How tall are you. LoL.
    Pandering as usual. Enough said. I did give it a shot.

    May December
    After listening to this episode (as I faithfully do) and hearing the two women who were the leads speak about the integrity of the film and the new perspective that it offered I am compelled to write about my deep disgust and disappointment in not only this movie, but in you, Katie Couric, for exposing your listeners to this tripe. I have followed and admired your career for a VERY long time and place you in high esteem. Most recently, I have supported your voice in the podcast world and social media, purchased your book, viewed your show in NYC, and most importantly, respected your ability to inform my world view. As a (newly) retired teacher of 66 years of life, I found that not only was I immediately, and with duplicated fervour from the original break in this story, deeply disturbed. What was the need to bring this back into the fore-front of public view? This felt like an extremely prurient invasion of the remaining lives of this family. There was no deeper understanding, just capitalising on a very sad story for another generation. Disappointed in PA Andrea Ries
  • Magpie Jinx
    Late to the Party
    Stumbled upon this searching for something else, so glad I did. Most podcasts I subscribe to seem to be round table or permanent co-hosts w/ or w/o guests sometimes competing for mic. Katie, imo, is generous sharing interviews & has always demonstrated genuine integrity as a journalist & authentic person. Each interview sounds like she’s hosted w/ her +one for years. Positive vibes, professional, thoughtful, and skipping the angry grievances. Thank you!
  • B. Birdell
    Not loving the 'plus ine'
    I would rather she interview her +ones than having them be co- hosts

    Human Storytelling from Trevor Scott Barton
    Katie, I love you as a human being and as a journalist. You get to the humanity of the story and that’s the kind of journalism we need in the US (and indeed the whole, wide world) today. You give us a human storytelling in a country that often turns away from the whole human and the whole story. Thank you dear one. Keep up the good work. You give me hope, and that means everything.

    Compelling Singletary Interview
    I’ve enjoyed reading Singletary’s financial advice columns over the years, but never knew about the obstacles she faced in her life and career. This was a very moving interview and Katie always asks just the right questions.
  • Supergreatandhelpful
    Shallow assessing racial disparity episode.
    They were not connecting. Seemed like she was just trying to get through the questions then ended with “wow you are something “ lololol oh WP

    Glad You’re Back!
    So glad you created this Podcast. I always loved watching your newscasts. The world needs honest, open and intelligent news like yours. Thank you!

    Question
    Katie, would you do a podcast on internet scamming? My very smart friend is being duped by some scammer who says he’s a WHO doctor. When I looked him up, there were 20 profiles of him. We did an google image search and his picture is everywhere but she believes him. She loves your news updates. Thank you. Janice Rockwell.
  • BookMumu
    Excellent Interview w/Judy Blume
    Katie I am a few years younger than you, and I did not read Judy’s books either. I have 3 daughters. Need to ask them if they did. So glad she is getting much deserved recognition & that her book is being made into a movie. I did not catch the name of the documentary, but will search for it. Like you, I was terrified of getting my period after being shown a film in the school auditorium in 5th grade. So silly really, bc I did not start my period till the summer I turned 14, or maybe 15? I was so grateful it was summer. I remember where I was & what I was wearing (cut off jean shorts). Thankfully it began with light spotting. My mother just quietly showed me how to wrap my sanitary napkin in toilet paper & dispose of it in the waste basket. She was an older Mom & in hindsight, as much as I hated the school film, it was probably much needed. I am so opposed to banning books. The only time I interfered at my local library, was when my daughter checked out a picture book on Brazil for a school report. My husband is Brazilian & my daughters are all dual citizens. The book mentioned wife battery. I am not saying this does not happen in Brazil, or anywhere else for that matter, but it was inappropriate subject matter for her very young age. I brought it to the children’s librarian’s attention and asked that it be removed from the shelf. I did not follow up. So grateful to live in this free country. I am a huge fan of my local library. I am in there almost daily some days! Grateful for Judy Blume. I need to read Summer Sisters. And grateful for you Katie! You are woke!!!!!!
  • AZAnn
    Thank You!
    Katie’s podcast makes you feel like you’re listening to a friend. I love her manner with her guests. She’s so brilliant yet makes it easy for her guests to open up. I love this podcast!

    Katie is such a great interviewer
    You acknowledge what people say and give plenty of space for complete answers. Being a 59 year old women I appreciate your subjects. Thank you so much 😊

    Paul and Sasha
    from Community News with Paul and Sasha podcast used to both work with you at NBC and then at ABC. They liked your book and talked about on their top one percent rated podcast. You should have them on the show...would love to hear you interview past staff and producers that worked for you. Plus, their show is hilarious, smart, satire of life in a small, affluent town in CT.

    Annoying
    It’s so annoying when Katie repeatedly says the guests name over and over again. I guess she thinks this is a great way of being an interviewer but it’s cringe to listen to.
  • Tjmsk8r
    The ad for this show is garbage
    I came to the show just to rate it 1 star for the ear piercing voicemail beep that is way too loud at the beginning of the ad. :,)

    Katie, love your show, but why in the world is McDonald’s a sponsor? Doesn’t Stand Up to Cancer care about science and nutrition? I’m very confused.

    KCM- Jamie Raskin
    I think that the interview with Jamie Raskin was among the best so far. I was, however, very disappointed to listen to an ad during this podcast for a nicotine product, especially given KC’s work on preventing and curing cancer. My email about this concern has not been answered. This is not what I expected from a journalist.
