Tell Me Why
In an era of news fatigue and constant information, Prospect steps back from the daily news grind—asking not just what is happening, but why.
Join Prospect editors Alona Ferber, Imaan Irfan and Philip Collins, and the magazine’s cast of contributors, to explore the people and trends that explain the world today.
Each episode, we explain the ideas behind the week’s biggest stories. From populism and protest to artificial intelligence, our guests share their unique perspectives.
Subscribe to Prospect and enjoy our rigorously fact-checked, truly independent analysis and perspectives:

Tracking and attribution: Acast or its partners may connect the fact you listened to this podcast to an action elsewhere on the internet. For example - it may spot a device that downloaded an episode of Tell Me Why later visited the website of an advertiser; or it may track that a device that listened to Tell Me Why also listened to a different show. This form of attribution is used to measure advertising effectiveness.
Dynamic content insertion: Acast may use limited data that they know about you - the device you’re using, the approximate location you’re in, or other data that can be derived from this, like the current weather forecast for your area - to change parts of the audio.
