Summary

The headlines aren't slowing down. Politics is a firehose, and most days it feels like we're drinking straight from it. This season on Next Question, we're turning velocity into clarity.

Each episode breaks down the headline overload so we can process–and commiserate–together. You'll hear from people who actually know: reporters on the ground, legal scholars, policy pros, and bold faced names, so you get context, not chaos. 

No outrage Olympics. No performative punditry. Just news separated from the noise, with a little humanity, and even humor along the way.

Listen to Season 12 of Next Question with Katie Couric, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
