WNYC Studios Picks Up Weekly Preet Bharara Podcast

Preet Bharara, the former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York whose path has proved of great interest since he was removed from his post by the Trump administration, has a lot more to say.

The former prosecutor will launch “Stay Tuned with Preet,” a weekly podcast that will become part of the portfolio of WNYC Studios. and will focus on issues of justice and fairness. The podcast comes from Cafe, an entertainment brand that is part of Some Spider Studios, which is run by Bharara’s brother, Vinit Bharara. Preet Bharara joined the company as an advisor, stakeholder and content producer in July.

Preet Bharara, who developed a reputation for fighting corruption. financial fraud and violent crime during his more than seven years on the job, will offer commentary on the nation’s judicial, political and cultural systems, and will welcome guests to the program. Bharara left his post in March after refusing to accept U.S. Attorney General Jeff Session’s request that 46 U.S. attorneys appointed during President Barack Obama’s administration.

WNYC Studios will present “Stay Tuned with Preet” as part of a portfolio that includes podcasts such as “Radiolab,” “Freakonomics Radio,” “More Perfect,” “ Here’s the Thing” with Alec Baldwin, and “2 Dope Queens.”
