Next Question with Katie Couric

Bonus: Tip-toeing toward a new normal with CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky

We can acknowledge that we’ve hit COVID fatigue. We’re sick of hearing about it, worrying about it, and living among it. But when nearly 2,300 people are still dying from COVID every day, checking in with the CDC director on the state of affairs is more necessary than ever. On this episode of Next Question with Katie Couric, Katie and Dr. Rochelle Walensky talk about where we are right now, our endemic future, the much-needed overhaul of our public health care system, and when our long (inter)national nightmare will end (and what that will look like).  Learn more about your ad-choices at <a href="https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com">https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

Katie Couric is back on the mic with a new season of intimate, urgent and unexpected conversations – this time with a new twist. Along with her signature in-depth one-on-one interviews, she’ll be joined by a number of special guest-hosts for a series of “Katie Plus One” episodes. Together they’ll get to know some of the world’s most interesting and influential people and explore the big ideas percolating in the zeitgeist--but with a focus on slowing down, diving deep, and connecting with each other, a reprieve from a culture obsessed with hot takes and surface-level small talk. Tune in every Thursday and join Katie Couric and her guests for a conversation that feels like a warm hug and a seat at the table.
