Produced by ‘First Person’
Premiering Thursday, June 9
When a lot of us hear the word “opinion” we think of hot takes — points of view in reaction to the news. But what about the experiences that shape our opinions?
That’s the question we’re exploring in “First Person,” a new podcast from New York Times Opinion with Lulu Garcia-Navarro. In each episode, Lulu sits down with people living through the headlines for intimate and surprising conversations that help us make sense of our complicated world.
Every opinion starts with a story. Begin listening on June 9 wherever you get your podcasts.
