Pushkin. I'm David Remnickin each week on the New Yorker radio hour.

My colleagues and I unpack what's happening in a very complicated world.

You'll hear from the New Yorker's award-winning reporters and thinkers.

Jilani Cobb on race and justice. Jillapour on American history. and Thinkers and

Jil Lepore on American history, Vincent Cunningham and Gia Tolantino on

culture, Bill McKibbon on climate change and many more.

To get the context behind events in the news,

listen to the New Yorker radio hour,

developed world.

The world is set up for you.

I'm not gonna fail, it's fine I mean I'll like bigger away and you know

knock on wood so far things have worked out pretty well so I don't I'm not feel I feel like what prevents people from sometimes

outside of a narrow definition of what they're good at. I don't.

Sparse, clean, economical, ensconced and gorgeous frame paintings of artists I do not know but probably ought to.
