About this episode
Are work spouses actually a thing? And what turns a desk-mate into a ride-or-die?
In this special episode of The Assignment, Audie Cornish reunites with former work husband and longtime co-host of NPR’s All Things Considered, Ari Shapiro. They dive into the stories that defined their careers, the push and pull of competition in the newsroom, and the ways creative collaborators develop shared languages—from Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan to Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
Taped live at On Air Fest in Brooklyn, New York.
