Tired of political headlines that feel like déjà vu? Wondering if you actually need to care about every controversy? This season, Katie’s asking those same questions—and talking to the people who have real answers. From political insiders to sharp-eyed journalists, she’s breaking down what’s worth your attention (and what’s not), with smarts, sanity, and even a little humor. Because none of us can be tuned in 24/7—but we can stay informed without losing our minds. 

Tune in every Thursday and join Katie Couric and her guests for a conversation on NEXT QUESTION.

Next Question with Katie Couric

California Governor Gavin Newsom has spent his career outrunning a public image that reduces him to a caricature—slick, ambitious, and impossibly polished. But in this wide-ranging conversation, recorded in-person in Los Angeles, Newsom explains why his new memoir, A Young Man in a Hurry, is an earnest attempt to show people the person behind the persona. (So far, most reviews agree that it is.)
 
Now a leading Democratic voice taking on Donald Trump, Newsom describes his approach (in short: “punch that bully in the face”) and wrestles with how his record in California will play on the national stage—offering a revealing look at his vision for the US in the coming years.

Longevity is having a moment far beyond Silicon Valley, and as we all look not just to live longer but to live better, In this episode of Next Question, Katie sits down with longevity researcher Dr. Rhonda Patrick.
What the science makes clear is that aging isn’t a simple cause-and-effect story. Genetics do matter, but they are only part of the picture and research shows it may be a smaller part then we think. How quickly your body declines — and what you do to combat disease and promote healthy cells along the way — plays a much bigger role.

The conversation covers why exercise is the closest thing we have to a longevity drug, why heart health impacts everything from mobility to brain function, and how supporting blood flow and oxygen delivery can make a meaningful difference as we age.

2025 in Review

Katie turns to veteran New York Times correspondent David Sanger to help make sense of a whirlwind few weeks in national security. Sanger explains why President Trump is using the U.S. military in ways he’s never seen in the five presidencies he’s covered—from sinking more than 20 boats in the Caribbean to deploying the National Guard in cities without clear emergencies. Katie presses him on the unanswered questions around those strikes, including a reported second hit on a burning boat and why the administration won’t release basic information.They also dig into the leaked Russia-Ukraine peace plan and the questions raised about how closely it aligns with Kremlin preferences. And as they discuss the tragic killing of the National Guard member in D.C., Sanger makes the case for why America still owes its Afghan allies protection—now more than ever.

CAR T therapy has delivered remarkable results for people with certain blood cancers—sometimes sending aggressive disease into deep remission after a single infusion. But today, only about 20% of eligible patients can actually get it. In this episode, sponsored by our partners at Allogene Therapeutics, Katie sits down with Dr. Zachary Roberts to unpack why access remains so limited and how new allogeneic (or “off-the-shelf”) CAR T therapies could be a turning point. They discuss how using healthy donor T-cells, rather than a patient’s own, may help bypass manufacturing hurdles and bring advanced treatment to more oncologists, more hospitals, and more communities.

Congresswoman Sarah McBride

Since his stroke in 2022, Senator John Fetterman has been battling—battling clinical depression, his own party, frustrated constituents, and even the political culture itself. At 6’8” and clad in his trademark hoodies, Fetterman has never fit the conventional congressional mold. But where does that leave him now, as he continues to defy expectations and confound both allies and critics?
 
From the government shutdown to Israel to immigration, Katie and Senator Fetterman cover a lot of ground. But at the heart of this urgent conversation, and of his new memoir Unfettered, is Fetterman’s harrowing struggle with depression and suicidal ideation—and his personal mission to remind people that the world is always better with them in it.
