As the principal contributor to The New Yorker’s “Q&A”
interview series, Isaac Chotiner has earned a reputation as “the
interview assassin.” His persistent questioning has made for some
awkward — and revealing — conversations with high-profile guests
over the years, but Chotiner also rejects the caricature of the
“gotcha journalist” that’s often applied to him. Kara and Isaac
talk about his interviewing style, how he prepares for difficult
conversations, and his recent viral Q&As with the legal scholar
Cass Sunstein and former White House Press Secretary Karine
Jean-Pierre. They also talk about some of the stories that are
likely to dominate headlines in 2026. Questions? Comments? Email us
