A disaster is a bad time to be handing out business cards and you have to build an operational tempo.

You think about that because you know the surprise is coming.

Welcome to post-Corona, where we try to understand COVID-19's lasting impact on the

economy, culture, and geopolitics. I'm Dan Seinore. Will the new American President lead us to a post-Corona return to normal or has the American

presidency become an impossible job, at least

impossible during a global pandemic. It is, according to 60 Minutes correspondent John

Dickerson, the hardestest Job in the World.

Well today we sit down with that 60 Minutes correspondent and put it to him.

In addition to 60 Minutes, John recently published his third book, The New York Times Best Seller, The Hardest Job in the World,

The American Presidency.

John's a long time an award-winning television and print journalist.

He was previously co-anchor of CBS this morning. Before that he was

anchor of Face the Nation. John is also a contributing writer to the Atlantic and co-host of Slate's Political Gabfest Podcast and host of the

Whistle Stop podcast. Whistle Stop is one my favorite podcast by the way if

you're a political history junkie I highly recommend it. John also has moderated presidential debates and he was a

longtime correspondent for Time magazine where he covered the White House. At a more

practical level we also talked to John about how he does his job day to day as a 60 minutes journalist in the midst of a pandemic.

And what about the way he does his job now and how changes in television news will outlive the pandemic.

Has the American presidency finally met its match in a global pandemic?

This is post-corona.

And I'm pleased to welcome John Dickerson to this post-corona conversation.

Hi John.
