Wesley Morris Goes Solo On NYT’s Still Processing Podcast

 “The juiciest group chat and the coziest diner booth, is back.”

You have to admit that it’s a unique tagline for an interview podcast. 

But Still Processing does have sizzle. 

With Jenna Wortham on book leave, Times critic-at-large and pop culture savant Wesley Morris will be taking on solo hosting duties for the Still Processing podcast for much of this spring season, which kicks off on April 14 with new episodes released every Thursday.

With his trademark quick wit undergirded by unbridled curiosity, Wesley will be discussing the trickiest topics and most intriguing cultural touchstones we face today. 

He will be joined by a stellar cast of guests, including Daphne Brooks to talk pop culture hierarchies, Hanif Abdurraqib to examine television theme songs (and that polarizing “skip intro” button) and Bill Simmons on what happens when athletes try to act.

You can listen to “Still Processing” at NYTimes.com or wherever you get your podcasts.
