Adam Harris Joins The Atlantic to Host New Video Podcast

A significant expansion of video programming is underway,⁢ with a prominent ⁣journalist returning to contribute to a growing portfolio of podcasts. This growth signals a​ continued investment in audio and video content, catering to an evolving audience appetite for⁣ diverse formats.‍ Considering the surge in podcast listenership – ‌a recent Edison Research study (December 2025) indicated a 9% increase ⁢in weekly podcast consumers – this ⁢move positions the organization for sustained growth and engagement.

The forthcoming programme⁢ will be hosted and developed by a seasoned voice in education⁢ and political commentary, building on the success of recently launched video podcasts.Galaxy Brain and The David Frum Show debuted in 2025, ​quickly gaining traction.‍ moreover, the third season of Autocracy in America is set to premiere this Friday.⁢ Last year also saw the release⁤ of⁤ How to Age⁣ Up, part of the established How⁢ To ⁤series, and No Easy Fix, a three-part series from Radio Atlantic, which earned recognition⁣ as one ⁢of Apple Podcasts’ 10 best ⁣shows of​ 2025.

Expanding Coverage with a Focus on Education and Politics

The individual at the heart of this expansion brings a ⁤wealth of experiance to the table. ​Having previously ⁣served ⁣as a staff writer for six years, covering the critical intersection of higher education and ⁣national‌ politics,they⁣ continued as a contributing writer while ⁣taking on a role​ as a senior fellow with the Education Policy program at New America in 2024. This background provides a unique outlook on the challenges⁤ and opportunities facing the ⁤nation. I’ve⁢ found that a deep understanding ​of both the academic and political landscapes is crucial for informed commentary, and this individual clearly possesses ⁣that.

Their⁢ published work ‍includes⁤ The State Must Provide, released in 2021, a work that sparked ⁢significant conversations about equity and access in⁤ higher education. Currently,⁤ they are developing a new book, Is This ​America?, which promises a fresh examination of the south’s enduring influence on ‌national politics and identity. Prior to this, they honed their reporting skills at The Chronicle ​of Higher Education, concentrating ‌on federal education policy and the unique experiences ⁤of historically Black ⁣colleges and‍ universities.
