00:00The New Yorker publishes a 15,000-word profile of a musician one week
00:04or a 9,000-word account from southern Lebanon with gag cartoons.
00:10So with the 100th anniversary coming up, the fact that this exists and is thriving, that's amazing.
00:19These writers are the writers that are at the forefront of thought and literature in our culture.
00:25The New Yorker to me is still this awe-inspiring institution.
00:30There aren't that many places that do this kind of super labor-intensive journalism.
00:36The wonder of magazines, I think, which is a little bit lost in the digital era with the kind of
00:40doom-scrolling.
00:42I get between 1,000 and 1,500 cartoons in my inbox, and then we end up buying anywhere between
00:4810 and 20.
00:49I'm very drawn to things that are very dark but also very funny.
00:55She likes The New Yorker.
00:57It chews well.
00:59I think almost everyone who works with The New Yorker is obsessed in some way.
01:03It's a little bit like whack-a-mole.
01:05You think you're done, but all these little things keep popping up.
01:09We fact-check everything that is published in the magazine.
01:11Yes, cartoons get fact-checked.
01:13The cat's names are Tiger, Loverboy, and Gummy Bear.
01:17Is that correct?
01:20People want fairness and fact-checking, and they also want some media outlets that aren't knuckling under.
01:30A cover needs to speak to the moment, but also be a timeless piece of art.
01:38I never got this whole Eustace Tilly thing.
01:40They should have jettisoned it in 1935.
01:44It's only 100 years old.
01:46Look what it's done.
01:47It takes a lot of people.
01:48It takes a lot of argument, but it's worth it.
01:52Well, that was easy.
01:54Be some fun.
01:59We'll be right back.
02:00Bye.
02:01Bye.
02:03Bye.
02:05Bye.
