The Atlantic's Debut Podcast Is a Place Where Past and Present Meet

We talk about Radio Atlantic with executive editor Matt Thompson

What you hear listening to the first episode of Radio Atlantic, the publication’s flagship podcast that makes its debut today, isn’t necessarily what you’ll get the next time. “We expect one of the things listeners will hear is a certain amount of variety in format,” says Atlantic executive editor Matt Thompson, who is a co-host along with editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg and contributing editor Alex Wagner. “Episode two is not going to sound like episode one,” he tells Fishbowl.

One of the experiments in format, for example, that Thompson hopes to introduce as the podcast progresses is making its audience a part of the podcast.
