The Atlantic Unveils 'The Permanent Questions' Podcast with David Brooks
By Editor • September 13, 2026 • 1 min read
In an exciting new addition to its media offerings, The Atlantic has launched a video podcast titled 'The Permanent Questions,' hosted by esteemed staff writer David Brooks. This weekly series, debuting today, aims to explore the profound questions that define human existence and challenge each generation to seek answers.
Every Sunday, Brooks will engage with prominent thinkers, artists, and writers in conversations that delve into the essence of humanity, the pursuit of meaning, and the ways to foster stronger relationships and a fairer society. The inaugural episode features Meghan Sullivan, a philosophy professor at the University of Notre Dame, as they discuss the principles of living a good life.
Brooks, who joined The Atlantic after years as a contributing writer, emphasizes the need for discussions that extend beyond the realms of politics and technology. He believes that there is a scarcity of content focused on the significant life questions that resonate across time. The launch of 'The Permanent Questions' aligns with The Atlantic’s broader strategy to enhance its audio and video content, which has seen substantial growth recently.
