This week, Brian Barrett and Leah Feiger speak with WIRED global editorial director Katie Drummond to go behind the scenes of her viral interview with Nathan Fielder about his latest documentary, You Can See Everything. She tells us why she had to keep it a secret—and how it felt to interview a man who hates being interviewed. We also discuss why tech billionaires are feeling generous all of a sudden, from Anthropic’s pledge to commit 5 percent of its shares to a public benefit fund to Elon Musk’s promise to give a SpaceX share to every child in America. Plus, a WIRED investigation found that election offices in at least 32 states received suspicious letters, some containing white powder, just two weeks before the midterms.
