Traveling Through with David Prior

At age ten, Flynn McGarry was cooking professionally and covered as a curiosity by publications around the world. Now 27, he runs the New York restaurant Cove and cafe-meets-farm-stand Gem Home. Despite the headlines accompanying his arrival onto the scene, his personal and professional evolution has been much quieter and more studied. Flynn joins the show to trace the stages, flea markets, design obsessions, and far-flung meals th...

Deborah Needleman spent decades shaping how we think about design. She founded Domino and edited T: The New York Times Style Magazine before leaving it all behind to become a student of craft. She joins David to talk about what curiosity looks like when there's no magazine to fill. She explores textiles in India, broom-making in Japan, and basketry in Morocco, pursuing hands-on experience that exposes universal themes in human natu...

David Remnick is a Pulitzer Prize winner and has helmed The New Yorker for 27 years. He joins the show not only to recount his own travels – from Moscow to Tel Aviv to campaign trails and tour buses – but also to reflect on what nearly three decades of dispatching the world's finest writers has revealed about history, cultural connectedness, and the vast breadth of stories to be found.

Self-taught designer, cook, and creative force Athena Calderone — dubbed "the modern girl's Martha Stewart” by T magazine — joins David to trace the restless curiosity that took her from Long Island to New York's nightlife scene, and on to Ibiza, Morocco, and Rome, always finding beauty and inspiration just beyond the obvious.
