As she pens her memoir, Kara’s been thinking about legacy, but on
this episode we reflect on the legacy of another powerhouse
reporter: Audie Cornish. After hosting NPR’s flagship “All
Things Considered” for a decade, Audie Cornish took a risk and left
for the greener pastures of CNN+ — only to see that venture get
unceremoniously squashed by CNN’s new CEO less than a month after
it launched. Yet Cornish has made it work: launching a new
podcast, “The Assignment” and providing on-air analysis (slash
occasionally taking the anchor chair) at CNN. In a conversation
taped live at the On Air Fest, where Cornish was honored with
the the 2023 Audio Vanguard Award, she talks about how
she learned to ask for help as a young reporter covering Hurricane
Katrina, what the media industry has to pay attention to in
order to outgrow its early naivete and why the “chaos” at CNN is
healthy. Questions? Comments? Email us at on@voxmedia.com or
