Across decades of public life — as First Lady, Senator, Secretary of State, and presidential candidate — Hillary Rodham Clinton has become one of the most consequential American leaders of our time.

She sits down with The New Yorker's David Remnick for a candid, live conversation — a taping of The New Yorker Radio Hour — about the state of American life as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary, and the extraordinary political moment we find ourselves in: the pressures testing democratic institutions at home; mounting instability abroad in the Middle East, Asia, and Ukraine; and the uneasy intersection of leadership, power, media, and public trust.

Working to improve the lives of all Americans, Clinton is an icon for women and girls the world over. And in a changing world, her perspective on the possibilities of American life — and the threats we face both at home and abroad — is indispensable. In her recent memoir, Something Lost, Something Gained, she reflects on the challenges and dangers of a polarized nation and the reshaping of domestic and foreign policy — offering a blueprint for what each of us can do to strengthen our bonds with one another and fight for our democracy.

Expect an evening of candor, insight, and extraordinary perspective — a conversation not only about American politics at 250, but about the character of the country itself, and the choices that shape our future.

Emmy Award winning MS NOW host Rachel Maddow and Pulitzer Prize finalist Steven J. Ross join us for an urgent conversation about the new threat of white supremacy and antisemitism in the US, and what the rise and fall of hate groups in the wake of WWII can teach us about fighting it — and Ross' new book, The Secret War Against Hate: American Resistance to Antisemitism and White Supremacy.

The American myth of a steady march toward tolerance and freedom has been shattered in the last decade by a rising tide of bigotry and antisemitism. But the truth is that the forces of hate in America have been around for a long time. In her hit podcast Ultra and her #1 bestselling book Prequel, Rachel Maddow charts the rise of a wild American strain of authoritarianism that has been alive on the fringes of our politics for the better part of a century. And in The Secret War Against Hate, Steven J. Ross tells the story of the antifascist heroes who rose up after WWII to stop the proliferation of hate groups who aimed to "finish the job Hitler had begun" on American soil.

How can we stop racism and anti-Semitism in America today? What does our history tells us about what works in this battle, and what doesn't? Rachel Maddow and Steven J. Ross, two of America's foremost experts on the fight against American fascism, join us for an urgent discussion about the history — and the future — of our fight for a more just, more perfect union.

"At a time of renewed interest in America's previous fights with fascism, no one has done more than Steven J. Ross to unearth the epic conflicts and characters at the heart of that history." ― Rachel Maddow

Join renowned economist Tyler Cowen for a live taping of his hit podcast Conversations with Tyler, featuring special guest Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist and Craig Newmark Philanthropies. Together, they'll explore trust, cybersecurity, and the building blocks of resilient civic institutions.

Newmark has become a deeply consequential civic leader of the internet age. Best known for creating Craigslist—a platform celebrated for its radical simplicity and user-first ethos—he has spent the last two decades supporting philanthropy that strengthens democracy. His work spans cybersecurity ("cyber civil defense"), veterans and military families, trustworthy journalism, and combating misinformation. In an era of growing polarization and distrust, Newmark's approach is guided by one pragmatic question: what actually works?

Returning to the stage at 92NY after two sold-out programs, Cowen will talk with Newmark about the pivotal choices behind Craigslist and the lessons he has drawn from years of public-interest work, exploring how to safeguard civic trust and apply solutions-driven principles in today's digital world.

Adam Phillips, the foremost psychoanalytic writer of our time, joins renowned psychoanalyst and critic Jamieson Webster for a conversation about necessity, desire, and reimagining our lives — and Phillips' new book, The Life You Want.

What do we really want from our lives — and what gets in the way? In The Life You Want, the beloved psychoanalyst and essayist Adam Phillips turns his attention to that deceptively simple question with curiosity, wit, and intellectual imagination. Phillips has long been a rare figure: a thinker who writes about desire, ambition, boredom, freedom, and frustration in ways that feel less like instruction and more like permission — to think differently, to be kinder to ourselves, to stay curious about our own contradictions. In The Life You Want, he asks what it might mean to stop chasing the lives we think we're supposed to want, and instead pay closer attention to the lives we're actually living.

Whether you're deeply interested in psychoanalysis or simply curious about how to live with honesty and imagination, join Phillips and Webster as they explore the personal and political dimensions of want, need, and pleasure — and how they can determine the course of our lives.

What does it mean to be a true communicator? Two of the best, Academy Award-nominated actor Alan Alda and astrophysicist and science communicator Neil deGrasse Tyson discuss Alda's book, If I Understood You, Would I Have This Look on My Face? It's a guide to improving the way we relate to each other using improv games, storytelling, acting, empathy, science and our own innate abilities.

Few public intellectuals have anticipated the shape of the present moment with such prescience as Garry Kasparov.

In a major live conversation, Kasparov joins Bret Stephens to discuss his bracing new book, The World of Fake Values: Ukraine Under Fire, A.I. Amok, and the Putinization of America Under Donald Trump.

A former world chess champion who gave up the game at the height of his power to confront Vladimir Putin's authoritarian rise, Kasparov has spent decades thinking about how democracies fail – and how they might be saved. Drawing on fresh reporting, recent essays, and conversations with thinkers ranging from A.I. researchers to Ukrainian dissidents, he argues that today's political chaos follows a grim internal logic: the hollowing out of democratic values, the weaponization of technology, and the normalization of authoritarian tactics in plain sight.

In conversation with New York Times opinion columnist Bret Stephens, Kasparov examines why Ukraine matters to Americans, what artificial intelligence reveals about human judgment, and whether a democratic majority can still reclaim moral and political ground. Urgent, clear-eyed, and deeply informed, this is a conversation about power, values, and what comes next.

Award-winning composer and co-lyricist Marc Shaiman (Hairspray, Sister Act, Smash and many others) joins fellow Tony Award winner Nathan Lane for a look behind the curtain of life on Broadway, in Hollywood and on Television, with a conversation about Shaiman's new memoir, Never Mind the Happy: Showbiz Stories from a Sore Winner.

Emerging from community theater in his teens, sparking a decades-long collaboration with Bette Midler in the '70s, surviving the AIDS crisis of the '80s and bursting into Hollywood and Broadway glory, Marc Shaiman has spent 50 years making some of the most beloved musicals and film scores of our era. Hilarious and deeply human, Shaiman's story is a tribute to the power of music and the pull of the spotlight.

Join him with his longtime pal Nathan Lane — a decades-long musical friendship — for a candid, uproariously fun evening of backstage stories from a shared life in show business, on and offstage.

Pulitzer Prize-winning The New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman and Politico's Alex Burns return with moderator Jeff Greenfield for an illuminating conversation about Donald Trump and what lies on the horizon of American politics ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

Will Democrats find their footing to push back against Trump's reshaping of the American order? The coming midterm elections stand to be supremely consequential — and for the eighth time on our stage, 92NY favorites Maggie Haberman and Alex Burns return with political analyst Jeff Greenfield to offer unparalleled insight into this new era.

Covering the arc of Trump's rise for over a decade, Haberman and Burns shed new light on our political history in real time.
