A preview of a show: The Assignment With Audie Cornish

Hey everyone, it’s Joel. We’ll be back soon with our regularly scheduled episode, but today I’m bringing you an episode of another podcast we enjoy and think you will too. It’s called The Assignment with Audie Cornish. It’s impossible to get the full story from fiery Twitter threads and push alerts. That’s why veteran journalist Audie Cornish is speaking with the people who actually live the headlines. Each week, she speaks with people at the center of our political and cultural debates about what’s missing from the news stories we read and watch. In this episode, Audie goes to the center of the debate around tipping. You’ll hear from two restaurateurs about the movement to get rid of tipping altogether — that’s right, completely get rid of it. You’ll hear about how the pandemic changed the way Americans tip, and what the economic reality of no-tipping restaurants actually looks like. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did! You can hear The Assignment with Audie Cornish from our friends at CNN every Thursday, available wherever you get your podcasts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Story of the Week, “journalist” Joel Stein chooses an article that fascinates him, convinces the writer to tell him about it, and then interrupts a good conversation by talking about himself. Sometimes the story will be the one everyone is talking about, like the New Yorker article on smoking hallucinogenic toads. Other times we’ll find a story you might have missed, like the one in the Verge about the rock groupie turned hacker who had huge corporations at her mercy. These are stories you’ll tell your friends about. Stories that stick with you long after you forget whatever headline you just doom-scrolled through. iHeartMedia is the exclusive podcast partner of Pushkin Industries.
