The Atlantic has introduced a new video podcast called The Permanent Questions, hosted by staff writer David Brooks. This podcast explores the fundamental questions of human life that individuals must grapple with throughout their lives. The podcast will publish a new episode every Sunday, featuring conversations between David and various thinkers, writers, and artists, as they delve into what it means to live a good life, the meaning of life, and how to foster richer relationships and a more just society.
The first episode, available today, features Meghan Sullivan, the Wilsey Family College Professor of Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame, discussing the concept of a good life. David emphasizes the show's focus on the big questions of life, contrasting it with other shows primarily centered on politics, business, health, and technology.
David Brooks has been a staff writer at The Atlantic for many years, with a focus on political, cultural, moral, and social issues. His recent work has covered topics such as the crucial lessons for the Democratic Party, the relationship between mental effort and thriving in the AI age, the historical trend of reactionaries taking over the world, and the challenges and successes in American higher education.
The launch of The Permanent Questions is part of a growing audio and video presence at The Atlantic. The publication has doubled its number of weekly shows, podcast staff, and audio revenue in the past year. Previous video podcasts include The David Frum Show and Galaxy Brain with Charlie Warzel, as well as an expanded flagship show, Radio Atlantic, which now features a weekly Monday video episode co-hosted by Hanna Rosin and Adam Harris.
The podcast is produced by The Atlantic and supported by Yale University, where David is also a presidential senior fellow at the Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs. Viewers can subscribe to watch The Permanent Questions on The Atlantic's YouTube channel or through their preferred podcast platform.
