The New York Times podcast “Hard Fork,” hosted by Kevin Roose and Casey Newton, has gained popularity since its inception in October 2022. The hosts have discussed various tech and business topics, interviewed guests like Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Sam Altman, and engaged with listeners through questions and feedback.
Despite occasional encounters with fans, Roose and Newton have maintained their mission to inform and entertain on the podcast. They have received positive feedback from listeners, with some offering smart and insightful ideas. The hosts strive to maintain a balance between their own curiosities and listener interests when selecting topics for each episode.
Looking to the future, Newton hopes to keep the podcast surprising and inventive by introducing new segments and games. Their goal is to grow their audience and become the biggest tech show in the world, with aspirations to surpass even popular shows like Joe Rogan’s.
When it comes to dream guests, both hosts have had the opportunity to interview many of their initial choices. Newton would love to have Sarah Jessica Parker on the show, while Roose jokes about sharing a ketamine bender with Elon Musk for an interview.
Their favorite thing about working together is the alignment in their views and the comfort they feel when stepping into the studio. They share a strong bond as journalists and friends, with Newton appreciating Roose’s humor and ethical principles. Their collaboration on “Hard Fork” continues to thrive as they explore new topics and engage with their audience.
