WHAT: Tired of political headlines that feel like déjà vu? Questioning whether every controversy really deserves attention? In Season 11 of “Next Question with Katie Couric,” Katie explores those very questions – with politicians, D.C. insiders, and sharp-eyed journalists – to uncover what’s worth attention (and what’s not).
The new season features candid, thought-provoking conversations that cut through the noise and focus on what really matters—bringing clarity, curiosity, and a dose of sanity to today’s political noise. While no one can stay tuned in 24/7, award-winning journalist Katie Couric offers listeners a way to stay informed without becoming overwhelmed.
In the eye-opening first episode, Katie sits down with journalist, documentary filmmaker, and best-selling author Chris Whipple, whose latest book “Uncharted” captures the human drama behind the 2024 election. Together, they pull back the curtain on how loyalty, fear, and misjudgment shaped the race—and why no one stopped Joe Biden from running again.
