Christine, have you ever bought something and thought,
wow, this product actually made my life better?
Totally.
And usually I find those products through Wirecutter.
Yeah, but you work here.
We both do.
We're the hosts of the Wirecutter show from The New York Times.
It's our job to research, test, and vet products, and then recommend our favorites.
We'll talk to members of our team of 140 journalists to bring you the very best product recommendations in every category that will actually make your life better.
The Wirecutter show, available wherever you get podcasts.
From The New York Times, this is the interview.
I'm David Marchese.
Last fall,
George Saunders was awarded the National Book Foundation's Medal
for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.
In the speech introducing him, in addition to a glowing rundown of his literary resume,
which includes the 2017 Booker Prize-winning novel, Lincoln in the Vardo,
he was also called the ultimate teacher of kindness and craft.
Pretty good, right?
Well, mostly.
