Larry is joined by journalist, anchor, and CNN correspondent Audie Cornish to discuss her new podcast The Assignment with Audie Cornish, and they begin by breaking down the difference between audio and TV fame.

After the break, they talk about the mission of The Assignment, the state of modern broadcast news, and Donald Trump’s recent town hall event (28:56). Larry and Audie end the pod by examining the future of political activism, her upcoming episode on CNN’s The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper, and the AI conundrum (1:00:04).
