Jay Caspian Kang is a staff writer for\xa0The New Yorker\xa0and a co-host of\xa0Time to Say Goodbye.\n\u201cAt some point, you have to kick it out the door, and it\u2019s never finished to the degree that you would finish a magazine piece. But it, in some ways, is more interesting because it is produced in a short amount of time, and it\u2019s read as something that is not supposed to be complete. It\u2019s just meant to provoke or to provide thought or whatever, to provide some sort of context on a certain issue or not. And I actually like that a lot better than the magazine writing. I respect the magazine writers\u2014obviously, I was one\u2014but for my disposition now, in my lifestyle, I actually enjoy having to produce this thing every week.\u201d\nHave a question for the mailbag?\xa0Email the show\xa0or leave a voicemail at (929) 333-2908.\nShow notes:\n\n@jaycaspiankang\n\nKang on Longform\n\n\nKang on Longform Podcast\xa0(Oct 2021)\n\n\nKang on Longform Podcast\xa0(Aug 2017)\n\n\nKang on Longform Podcast\xa0(Apr 2013)\n\nKang\u2019s\xa0New Yorker\xa0archive\n\n06:00\xa0Coin Talk\n\n\n08:00\xa0Tyler Austin Harper\u2019s\xa0Atlantic\xa0archive\n\n\n10:00\xa0Serial\n\n\n12:00\xa0The Daily\n\n\n20:00\xa0\u201cThe High Is Always the Pain and the Pain Is Always the High\u201d\xa0(The Morning News \u2022 Oct 2010)\n\n28:00\xa0James\xa0(Percival Everett \u2022 Doubleday \u2022 2024)\n\n34:00\xa0\u201cAmerican Son\u201d\xa0(ESPN \u2022 July 2024)\n\n35:00\xa0Kang\u2019s\xa0VICE\xa0archive\n\n\n42:00\xa0\u201cMike Francesa Still Believes in the Power of Radio\u201d\xa0(New York Times \u2022 Aug 2018)\n\n43:00\xa0Kang\u2019s\xa0Grantland\xa0archive\n\n\n43:00\xa0Kang\u2019s\xa0New York Times\xa0archive\n\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
