The New Yorker Comment
A weekly reading of the magazine’s “Comment” essay.

Show overview
The New Yorker Comment has been publishing since 2017, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 96 episodes. That works out to roughly 15 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.
Episodes typically run under ten minutes — most land between 8 min and 9 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language News show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 6.6 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2018, with 45 episodes published. Published by Condé Nast.
