Ari Shapiro
Best Strangers in the World Tour, In Conversation with Audie Cornish
- This event has passed.
Join award-winning NPR journalist Ari Shapiro for an evening of conversation about his memoir and tales from his storied broadcast career.
The beloved host of “All Things Considered” is known for his adventurous spirit and insatiable curiosity, which has served him well whether he’s traveling on Air Force One with President Obama, navigating war-torn countries, or following community leaders fighting for social justice. His new memoir, The Best Strangers in the World, details all of this and more in captivating essays and is a true love letter to journalism.
Shapiro will share insights from his life spent listening in conversation with Audie Cornish, an anchor and correspondent for CNN and host of the CNN Audio podcast, “The Assignment.”
This event will be ASL interpreted for the in-person audience. In-person attendees should contact Amanda prior to the talk to request reserved seats in the interpreted section. Virtual attendees who need to access the interpreted feed should contact Amanda in advance.
