I’m an audio editor and the interviews are clearly not aligned properly in many episodes. It leads to it sounding like people talking over each other, awkward pauses and interrupting and there is echo from I’m assuming ambient audio from the online recording. Come on whoever you are! You can do...Read full review »

On your recent episode, listening to Al and Tonya share their stories of threats and intimidation from right wing nuts believing the 2020 election was stolen/rigged (and apparently all voting, unless their candidate wins, of course) it was shocking to me that they belong to the party who are...Read full review »

Normally when I hear the topic of a podcast is tech and AI my eyes glaze over. WOW. I feel like I have a lot to learn from the likes of Kara Swisher. Audie led a great interview and it’s been the best 30 minutes I’ve spent recently.

Just found you today. I love the time and approach. 👍

Like a brilliant conversation between friends. Goes deep!

Listening to Ms Cornish’s coverage of the Fani Willis hearing was truly appalling. Calling the testimony a performance (so she couldn’t be advocating for herself/reputation?) and describing her as giving “hip hop” like descriptions and a “ real housewives” act. Very racially coded (not even coded...Read full review »

There’s something subtle and calming about this host’s delivery. Whether she’s interviewing an expert or digging for facts, she speaks with authority, wisdom, and respect. I’m a regular!

For the love of god, how many times can a person say “right” during a podcast? Right? Does Audie ever review her interviews and hear herself? Right? Beyond annoying and amateurish. Right!

I just discovered this podcast and find it very informative. Audie asks the questions that I want answered and her questions are fair and unbiased. She challenges her guests and makes them explain their views and I get the feeling they are learning more about themselves.

If you have a mental problem, then use your pto and take a day off.. Work from home if possible should be mentioned at hire and state the days you are working from, but shouldn’t be a requirement. As a manager, I state which days are available to work from home are possible, but also emphasize...Read full review »

I can think my own ignorant thoughts and get questionable facts from AI on my own too. When I tiling in to a podcast, it’s for experts and verified information. Which is why having been offered this podcast from another feed, I will never listen again. Next time, make sure your reporter...Read full review »

I love all of the episodes and the specific style of journalism Audie has, that challenges the polarised, all of nothing thinking today. She always digs deep and makes you think through out each interview. LOVED the Ken Burns interview. Just, wow.

Thank you for sharing the plans for Pres Trump’s 2nd term - We are looking forward to it!
Jrboho via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/05/23
Always look forward to the next episode of the Assignment. What I really appreciate is that topics are covered I might not ever have been exposed to otherwise. For example the one on how country music could be a solution to the US gun problem. I’m not a country music fan and a really a different...Read full review »

Great guests, but the host is super annoying! Constantly interrupts her guests. Extremely rude. Do better!
NolesTracey via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/03/23
I’ve been a fan of Audie Cornish for years, listening on NPR. She’s an excellent and tenacious interviewer, and the longer format suits her perfectly. I much prefer the deeper dive into various topics.

I just listened to the Patriotic episode. I thought it was incredibly timely with so MANY bits of wisdom and putting things in perspective in a thoughtful, reflective, and real way. Will be sharing this podcast with my community. Thank you!
ruthfarf via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/24/23
Audie and Baratunde and The Assignment team, thank you for this episode, regarding “patriotism” on this very fraught “holiday” which for our tribal siblings is a day of mourning. I still don’t think I can use the word patriotic to describe my relationship to the country, but the truth being told...Read full review »

These kids give me hope that our younger generation coming up are paying attention. I think it would be interesting to check it with them once in awhile.
Mildred Honey via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/18/23
Great topics but I can no longer take it!!! Audie never lets her guests complete a thought without interruption! She had a good run in my podcast family but I’ve had to cut her loose. Good luck!
Dap2132 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/15/23
As an NPR junkie I’ve been an Audie fan for a long time. I was thrilled when she came to CNN and now she is using all the skills she honed at Public Radio on this podcast. Always interesting, fast moving and informative. I’ve never found a boring episode yet. Even the ones I thought wouldn’t...Read full review »

I’ve always loved hearing Audie Cornish’s reporting and was excited to follow this podcast. The conversations are definitely interesting and her guests are valid but she interrupts them way too often. Let them finish their sentences, please. No need to add side remarks to be part of the discussion.
Ayablu via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/02/23
Extremely interesting. A wide range of themes and topics.
CNN Mouse via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 10/29/23
It is a good story
Amanda220401 via Apple Podcasts · Vietnam · 10/14/23
This podcast is different from others because Ms Cornish gets people involved in the topic to discuss and answer questions about it. Audie asks in-depth questions and draws out the views of the participants without dominating the conversation herself. I come away with an informed, often different...Read full review »

The Center is doing such important work. Thank you for illuminating this issue and organization, so we can support them.

This podcast is current, informative, investigative and conversational. The content resonates long after each episode long drops. Thank you.

I just discovered Audie Cornish’s podcast & have been wide-eyed listening to episode after episode - wow!

Love these interviews that are like Fresh Air with a twist of lemon and a shot of espresso. The conversations are colorful and they pop. It’s like a little micro dose, living in technicolor to supplement the public radio discourse.
Abedharma via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/23/23
Excellent discussion. Learned much. Thank you.
Janthephotoman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/23/23
Audie knows how to make a podcast! No matter the topic, it’s interesting audio, great questions and a fantastic way to spend 30 minutes. Im such a fan, kudos to this team!
SpaghettiGalfetti via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/21/23
The Wilmore episode was good. But Cornish could have pushed him harder on the White House Correspondents Dinner n-bomb. Wilmore says it was expressive, but it really came off as self-indulgent, since it overshadowed his entire set and took the focus off of comedy and sharp social commentary—and...Read full review »

Audie is really a great interviewer. I enjoy listening to her a lot because the topics are interesting and she is a sharp professional. Great job Ms. Cornish.
Naima Iman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/13/23
Audie’s interview with Larry Wilmore was extremely insightful. It made me remember TV shows while growing up and the groundbreaking images we saw on screen. Her questions were well stated and relevant. I found this to be one of the best episodes of “The Assignment”.
Want NPR 2 Succeed via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/09/23
Always loved Audie on NPR but really feel like I’m getting to know her better through the podcast and the guests and topics she covers. Insightful and original, I listen every week!

I love it as a mid 20 something to get different reliable stories that can make my viewpoint more dynamic. Must listen
Dean Sylvesterrrrrr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/25/23
The episode on astrology was a major fail. Honesty Audie it was beneath you. You allowed those two ladies to spew words salad unchallenged. You offered no follow up when they parroted self serving excuses on the truth value of their pronouncements. It was a sad, sad debacle.☹️😢
Zidib via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/25/23
Enjoying hearing Audie’s journalistic approach as it’s unleashed from traditional radio.

I love Audie Cornish’s voice. I think her approach to her subjects are informative and entertaining, and I am enjoying this podcast. Highly recommend.

In her Podcast, The Assignment, Audie Cornish picks an interesting subject, researches it, and then finds intelligent, knowledgeable guests to interview about it. With her killer journalistic talent, by the end of each episode, you feel like you really understand the topic she’s been covering in...Read full review »

Are you really that stupid to listen to this thing? It does not have anyone’s best interest except for itself. I feel bad for the people who have to work with this thing.

Always loved Audie on NPR and now she has her own podcast! Fantastic. Love the short bites of interesting topics! Keep going.

It’s great to hear Audie interviewing again. I love that even more of her personality comes through with this format. She’s a gem!
