I'm David Marchese and I'm Lulu Garcia Navarro and we're the hosts of the interview from the New York Times.
David and I have spent our careers interviewing some of the most interesting and influential people in the world.
Which means we know when to ask tough questions and when to just sit back and listen.
And now we've teamed up to have these conversations every week.
We'll try to reveal something about the people shaping our world.
And we'll get some great stories from them too.
It's the interview from the New York Times.
Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

A few days ago, one of the most ubiquitous live shows in the country,
Shen Yun, began its latest run at arguably its most prestigious venue, Lincoln Center.
It's drawn thousands of people to a performance that is colorful,
acrobatic, and, according to many of its performers, shockingly abusive.
Today, my colleague Nicole Hong on what a Times investigation has found about the secretive and sprawling enterprise.
It's Wednesday, April 2nd.
Nicole, I have seen billboards for Shen Yun literally all over New York City.
They are pastel colored.
They show people dancing.
They're wearing this sort of long, flowy, diaphanous clothing.
