“The Run-Up,” which first launched in August 2016, is back to help listeners keep track of the 2022 midterm elections.
Host and New York Times political reporter Astead Herndon said:
“This is a different type of political podcast — for what is a different type of midterm elections. I’m really excited for listeners to hear the scope of people and political ideas we explore, all handled with the care and nuance people expect from Times audio. I think ‘The Run-Up’ will be fresh, illuminating and challenging. An explanatory guide to a unique political moment.”
The first episode airs on Sept. 6, with weekly episodes dropping on Thursdays. You can subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
