The Atlantic is announcing that Adam Harris is returning to staff to host and develop a new weekly video podcast, which will launch this spring and will be the third recent video podcast from The Atlantic. Adam was a staff writer at The Atlantic for six years covering higher education and national politics, and remained a contributing writer when he joined New America in 2024 as a senior fellow with the Education Policy program. The forthcoming show follows the 2025 launches of the video podcasts Galaxy Brain and The David Frum Show. Coming Friday is the third season of Autocracy in America, and last year, The Atlantic released How to Age Up, part of the long-running How To franchise, and No Easy Fix, a three-part Radio Atlantic series, which was named one of Apple Podcasts’ 10 best shows of 2025. Adam is the author of The State Must Provide, released in 2021. He is currently working on his second book, Is This America?, a history of the South’s role in politics and how the region shapes us as a nation—but not always in the ways we assume it does. He was previously a reporter at The Chronicle of Higher Education, focusing on federal education policy and historically Black colleges. Recent editorial hires at The Atlantic include staff writers Will Gottsegen, Henry Grabar, Jonathan Lemire, Lily Meyer, Luis Parrales, Alex Reisner, Judith Shulevitz, Simon Shuster, and Yvonne Wingett Sanchez; and senior editors Paul Beckett, Emily Bobrow, Adam Kirsch, Michael Leibel, Chris Suellentrop, and Katie Zezima.
