In the first 100 years of The New Yorker, only five have edited the magazine. Since 1998, it&rsquo;s been David Remnick at the helm, shepherding the publication into the 21st century.&nbsp; We discuss Zohran Mamdani&rsquo;s mayoral win in New York City (3:24), the new documentary, <a href="https://www.netflix.com/watch/81770824?source=35">The New Yorker at 100</a>, chronicling the magazine&rsquo;s evolution (11:00), how comedian Jon Stewart understands the rising influence of the podcast Manosphere (26:20), and the future of media (47:00). Then, we turn to our first talk with Remnick from 2023, reflecting on the art that influenced him growing up in New Jersey (54:00) to his pathway to journalism at Princeton University (1:03:30) and his start at&nbsp;The Washington Post under the tutelage of legendary editor Ben Bradlee (1:09:00). We close with lessons from his early days running The New Yorker (1:14:30), why he cautions against despair (1:26:20), and a tribute to the creative longevity of musician Joni Mitchell (1:34:00).
