Together they’ll get to know some of the world’s most interesting and influential people and explore the big ideas percolating in the zeitgeist–but with a focus on slowing down, diving deep, and connecting with each other, a reprieve from a culture obsessed with hot takes and surface-level small talk. Tune in every Thursday and join Katie Couric and her guests for a conversation that feels like a warm hug and a seat at the table.
