The summer months are over, and right around the corner are the midterm elections, so it’s time for voters to be informed on what’s going on in their respective state at a national level.
On Wednesday, The New York Times announced (h/t Radio Ink) that they’re providing audio content covering the race leading up to Election Day on Nov. 8.
Launched in 2016, “The Run-Up” is back to examine the races and the issues that make the midterm elections necessary and will zero in on critical points for listeners in various parts of the country.
“This is a different type of political podcast — for what is a different type of midterm elections,” host Astead Herndon said.
“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.”
Herndon has been a national politics reporter at The Times since 2018 and was a vital part of the Times’ political coverage in the 2018 midterm and 2020 presidential elections.
“The Run-Up” debuts Sept. 6, with new episodes dropping every Thursday.
