He co-founded Spy magazine, co-created and hosted the Peabody Award-winning public radio show and podcast Studio 360, and hosted and co-produced the podcast Nixon at War (2021). He’s also a journalist – regular contributor to the New York Times and The Atlantic, formerly a New Yorker columnist, Time critic and columnist, and New York Editor in Chief.
Charlotte Howard is The Economist’s executive editor, New York bureau chief and co-host of the Checks and Balance podcast. Prior to this, she served as The Economist’s US business editor.
