Every Thursday on The Assignment, host Audie Cornish explores the animating forces of this extraordinary American political moment.

  • Why Orwell's '1984' is having a moment in 2025

    Why Orwell's '1984' is having a moment in 2025
    Oct 9 2025
    Film director Raoul Peck grew up in Haiti and the Congo, and is no stranger to authoritarianism. So it was an easy “yes” when he was offered access to author George Orwell’s entire body of work, from the original manuscript of “1984” to letters and journals. The result is “Orwell: 2+2=5,” a documentary about how a man named Eric Arthur Blair became the timeless face of truth. Peck talks to Audie about his take on Orwell’s legacy and what it still has to teach us. -- This episode was Produced by Madeleine Thompson and Lori Galarreta Senior Producer: Matt Martinez Technical Director: Dan Dzula Executive Producer: Steve Lickteig Learn more about your ad choices.

I’m a fan. I like everything about this podcast. I’m sitting here at work listening now. The interviews feel a little NPRish every once in a while - but, overall, Audie does a great job.

This episode was riveting from beginning to end. It spoke to so many of the real and perceived cultural traumas of our tunes. Why did it take so long for the psychology world to “get it”? Loved it!!!

Absolute BEST Podcast I’ve ever heard
