What became clear, though, was that Fielder was less interested in helping business owners generate profits than he was in understanding the people ensnared in his plots. His next project, the HBO series “The Rehearsal,” was a similar offbeat portrait of offbeat people. At the center of both projects is Fielder himself, a documentarian whose motives can sometimes be hard to parse.This week, Fielder’s first feature-length documentary, “You Can See Everything,” hits theaters. Co-directed by Lance Oppenheim, the movie shows Fielder embedding himself into the life of the disgraced Theranos founder and felon Elizabeth Holmes in the days leading up to her imprisonment for fraud. The film caused a big splash when it debuted at the Telluride Film Festival, in part because it presents Holmes, a mysterious and compelling cultural figure, through the eyes of Fielder, a mysterious and compelling filmmaker.This week, the Times movie critic Alissa Wilkinson and critic at large Jason Zinoman, who covers comedy, join Michael Barbaro for a spoiler-free discussion of Nathan Fielder, his career, and why he might be the perfect person to tell the story of Elizabeth Holmes. On Today’s Episode<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/by/alissa-wilkinson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alissa Wilkinson</a>, a movie critic at The New York Times.<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/by/jason-zinoman" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jason Zinoman</a>, a critic at large for the Culture section of The New York Times. Background Reading<ul><li>‘The Real World’ and Nathan Fielder can both thank <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/17/movies/ross-mcelwee-the-real-world-nathan-fielder.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">this cult filmmaker.</a></li><li>‘You Can See Everything,’ <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/30/movies/elizabeth-holmes-documentary-nathan-fielder-you-can-see-everything.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">if you could only secure a ticket.</a></li></ul> Photo: A24, via Associated Press For more information on today’s episode, visit <a href="http://nytimes.com/thedaily?smid=pc-thedaily" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nytimes.com/thedaily</a>.

In his time in Los Angeles, he expanded the Philharmonic’s repertoire, created a successful youth outreach program, won prestigious awards and ingratiated himself with Hollywood elite.Now, after 17 years in Los Angeles, Dudamel is taking the helm at one of the world’s most famous and storied orchestras: the New York Philharmonic. It’s a job once held by Leonard Bernstein, and Dudamel is hoping to follow in Bernstein’s footsteps to make the Philharmonic and the music that it plays a bigger part of the pop culture landscape.On today’s episode, Joshua Barone, who covers classical music for The Times, discusses Dudamel, what he’s accomplished and the high hopes for his tenure with the New York Philharmonic.<br />Music Featured (in order of appearance, all conducted by Gustavo Dudamel):<ul><li>Johann Strauss, Tik-Tak Polka, Polka Schnell, Op. 365, Weiner Philharmoniker (Sony Music Entertainment)</li><li>Dmitri Shostakovich, Festive Overture, Op. 96, Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra (Deutsche Grammophon)</li><li>Gustav Mahler, Symphony No. 5 in C-Sharp Minor IV.

The world’s best players are heading to the U.S.T.A. Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, N.Y., to battle it out for the chance to play a championship match at Arthur Ashe Stadium, the largest tennis arena in the world. The players come freighted with great expectations, previous victories and defeats, aches and pains, personal dramas and professional rivalries, all of which they will carry with them out on the court when they play. Tennis is a game that exposes a lot about its players, which is one of the things that makes it so beloved around the world. In this episode of the “Sunday Daily,” the host Natalie Kitroeff talks with Matthew Futterman, a senior tennis writer for The Athletic and the author of “The Cruelest Game: Chasing Greatness in Professional Tennis,” about this year’s crop of players.

The Savannah Bananas Are Here to Fix That.</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/think-baseball-is-boring-the-savannah-bananas-are-here-to-fix-that--76136588</link><description><![CDATA[Jesse and Emily Cole created the Savannah Bananas with a simple mission in mind: to make baseball as entertaining as possible. They introduced some innovations to America’s pastime, including twerking umpires, stilt-walking pitchers and TikTok-ready choreographed dance numbers. They tinkered with the rules of baseball, making a game that was shorter and faster, with plenty of opportunities for fan engagement. The result? A sports sensation. In the 10 years since its founding, the team has become one of the most popular sports organizations in the world, reaching tens of millions of fans online, with a waiting list of millions of others hoping to see a game in person. For many, the Bananas are the ultimate sports success story, one that shows a path forward for teams and leagues concerned about fan retention in an era of shortened attention spans and endless entertainment options. But others take a less rosy view of the Bananas and their hyper-energetic brand of baseball, seeing them as an existential threat to a game that fans have loved for more than a hundred years.

They introduced some innovations to America’s pastime, including twerking umpires, stilt-walking pitchers and TikTok-ready choreographed dance numbers. They tinkered with the rules of baseball, making a game that was shorter and faster, with plenty of opportunities for fan engagement. The result? A sports sensation. In the 10 years since its founding, the team has become one of the most popular sports organizations in the world, reaching tens of millions of fans online, with a waiting list of millions of others hoping to see a game in person. For many, the Bananas are the ultimate sports success story, one that shows a path forward for teams and leagues concerned about fan retention in an era of shortened attention spans and endless entertainment options.

She spent long hours there, first as a restaurant cook and later as a recipe developer. But though she loved the often-intense culinary world, she had to navigate it with certain limitations: She was born with sickle cell disease, an inherited blood disorder, which required her to carefully manage her working life. She did so successfully, becoming a celebrated cookbook author and food writer for The Times. A medical crisis in December 2023 changed all of that. Komolafe ended up in a coma for six weeks, and after emerging learned that both her legs and her fingers would need to be amputated. In this episode of “The Sunday Daily,” Komolafe tells Rachel Abrams about what happened and how, after everything, she made her way back into the kitchen.

Even before the movie’s release, though, it’s proving to be a cultural event. Spirited discussions of Nolan’s cinematic interpretation of the epic poem already abound online, and they are likely to intensify after the public sees the film.

In this episode of “The Sunday Daily,” Natalie Kitroeff talks about the “Odyssey” with two writers who have produced some critically acclaimed and widely read modern interpretations of Greek classics: Emily Wilson, the first woman to translate the “Odyssey” from ancient Greek, and Madeline Miller, the author of the best-selling novels “Circe” and “Song of Achilles.” On Today’s Episode: <a href="https://www.emilyrcwilson.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Emily Wilson</a>, a professor, classicist, author and translator of the “Odyssey” <a href="https://madelinemiller.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Madeline Miller</a>, the author of “Circe,” “Song of Achilles” and other books Background Reading: <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/09/books/review/odyssey-homer-romantasy-ghost-story-monster-high-seas.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">We’ll Help You Find Your Next Great Book.

It has had its highest attendance ever, and generated the most goals scored in history.

Tariq Panja, a global sports correspondent at The New York Times, explains the magic and the complexity of this moment. Then, Anna Foley, a producer for “The Daily,” talks to two lifelong fans of the Iranian team who discuss the complexity of national pride in the middle of war.

Steven Spielberg Believes They Do</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/do-aliens-exist-steven-spielberg-believes-they-do--76136636</link><description><![CDATA[Almost 50 years ago, Steven Spielberg directed “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” the story of an average man who discovers that humanity may not be alone in the universe. Over the decades, Spielberg has directed several movies about what would happen if humanity made contact with aliens. Would the aliens be kind like the title character in “E.T. the Extra Terrestrial”? Would they be cruel like the murderous aliens of “War of the Worlds”? And regardless of what the aliens were like, would we humans be ready to receive them? Spielberg returns to the question of whether we’re alone in the universe, and what it might mean if we’re not, with his new film “Disclosure Day.” Today, he sits down with Rachel Abrams, a host of “The Daily,” to talk about the film, and about what he has learned over five decades of making movies about aliens.   On Today’s Episode Steven Spielberg, director of “Disclosure Day.”   Background Reading <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/movies/disclosure-day-review-steven-spielberg.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">‘Disclosure Day’ Review: Spielberg Plays His Greatest Cosmic Hits</a><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/07/magazine/steven-spielberg-movie-theater-disclosure-day.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">What Steven Spielberg Taught Me About Fear, Catharsis, and Being Human</a>   Photo credit: Paolo Pellegrin/Magnum, for The New York Times For more information on today’s episode, visit <a href="http://nytimes.com/thedaily?smid=pc-thedaily" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nytimes.com/thedaily</a>.

Not because of where he traveled, but because of how he traveled. Paired with a set of unlikely travel companions, he put down his camera and experienced the word through touch, smell and sound. On today’s episode of “The Sunday Daily,” Isaacson talks with Host Michael Barbaro about a trip that forever changed the way he travels.   On today's episode: <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/by/andy-isaacson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Andy Isaacson</a>, a contributing writer and photographer for The New York Times.   Background Reading <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/04/07/travel/blind-visually-impaired-travelers.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sites Unseen: What Travel Is Like for Those Who Can’t See</a>   Photo credit: Andy Isaacson For more information on today’s episode, visit <a href="http://nytimes.com/thedaily?smid=pc-thedaily" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nytimes.com/thedaily</a>.

It’s also a big business; products, therapies and treatments intended to moderate or reverse aging are part of a $2 trillion global wellness market that’s only getting bigger. But there have been some recent breakthroughs in the science of longevity that could be pivotal for the field. These discoveries have to do with cellular rejuvenation, which is the idea that scientists could take a cell that has aged, and make it function like a younger version of itself. On this episode of “The Sunday Daily,” the host Rachel Abrams talks with Susan Dominus, a staff writer at The New York Times Magazine, about this new research, the scientists behind it and who is funding this scientific quest for longer lives.

But how to take the tens of thousands of songwriters working in this country and narrow them down to a digestible list? The answer involved thousands of voting ballots, hundreds of music industry insiders and a series of closed-door meetings among a small group of music experts. The result, The Times’s list of the 30 greatest living American songwriters, was published this week. Today, Michael Barbaro talks with Sasha Weiss, a deputy editor of The Times Magazine, who oversaw the project, as well as Joe Coscarelli and Jody Rosen, two members of the cadre of critics assigned with compiling the final list. They discuss the list-making process, what defines a great songwriter and why Billy Joel didn’t make the final cut. We also hear from some of the songwriters featured on the list, including Taylor Swift, Nile Rodgers and the songwriting team of Brandy Clark, Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne.   On Today's Episode: <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/by/sasha-weiss" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sasha Weiss</a> is a deputy editor of The New York Times Magazine. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/by/joe-coscarelli" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joe Coscarelli</a> is a culture reporter for The Times.

But that’s what the show “Every Brilliant Thing” is all about. Since 2013, Duncan Macmillan’s audience-participation-heavy play has been performed in dozens of languages in hundreds of locations across the globe. It revolves around a central character who writes a list of all the good things in life for a depressed parent. And while it tackles dark subject matter — including frequent mentions of a loved one’s suicide — it may be one of the funniest shows about depression, ever. In this episode of “The Sunday Daily,” Michael Barbaro talks with Daniel Radcliffe, who currently stars in a Broadway production of the show, and Mariska Hargitay, who will step into the role in a few weeks. We’ll also hear from the playwright and several other actors who have performed the play on stages, in living rooms, on basketball courts and aircraft carriers all over the world.   On today's episode: Daniel Radcliffe<br />Mariska Hargitay<br />Duncan Macmillan<br />Candunn Jennette<br />Greg Dragas<br />Mugambi Nthiga<br />Erika de la Vega<br />Jung Sae-Byul<br />Mohsina Akhter<br />Tommy Schoffler<br />Nanda Mohammad   Background reading: <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/12/theater/daniel-radcliffe-every-brilliant-thing.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">‘Every Brilliant Thing,’ Now Starring Daniel Radcliffe and You</a><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/theater/every-brilliant-thing-review-daniel-radcliffe.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Daniel Radcliffe Makes ‘Every Brilliant Thing’ Shine</a><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/theater/daniel-radcliffe-every-brilliant-thing.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Daniel Radcliffe Wanted a Break From Broadway.

The show follows autistic adults as they search for love. “Love on the Spectrum” is unlike much of reality television — a genre known to subject its cast members to drama and humiliation for entertainment’s sake. Instead, the show captures a dating world that has more heartwarming moments than histrionics, and is sensitive and nuanced in its portrayal of neurodivergent people. On today’s episode of “The Sunday Daily,” Rachel Abrams talks with Anna Peele, a contributing writer for The New York Times, about the show’s origin story and why it has resonated with so many people.

As a political reporter for The New York Times, Draper often talks to figures like Ms. Sinema. But on this occasion, he said, she wanted to tell him about how she had tried ibogaine, which is illegal in the United States. She’d become such a believer in the drug that she was pushing her home state of Arizona to fund clinical trials for veterans with combat-related trauma. Draper found that Ms. Sinema wasn’t the only politician to take up the cause. Rick Perry, the former Texas governor, Republican presidential candidate and Trump energy secretary, has also advocated for research into ibogaine in recent years and taken the drug himself. In 2025, because of Mr. Perry’s efforts, Texas became the first state to dedicate public funds to ibogaine research with veterans. Recent studies of ibogaine at Stanford University and elsewhere suggest that it might prove effective in treating post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injuries, addiction and a range of other conditions. As Draper reported on ibogaine’s transformative effects on others, he wondered: Could it help <i>him</i>, too? Today, on “The Sunday Daily,” Natalie Kitroeff talks to Robert Draper about what drew him to travel to Mexico to try ibogaine, and how his trip changed his life.
