Marty Supreme meets The Queen’s Gambit in bestselling author Ben Mezrich’s next smash, Checkmate: Genius, Lies, Ambition, and the Biggest Scandal in Chess.
Mezrich, master of the non-fiction thriller, joins us on the book’s publication to talk about this true story of the modern chess world’s most explosive scandal. Already in development by A24 following a fierce bidding war, with Nathan Fielder to direct and Emma Stone producing, Checkmate tells the 2022 story of 19-year-old American chess prodigy Hans Niemann’s defeat of world champion Magnus Carlsen in a stunning live match, and the bombshell cheating allegation and high-stakes investigation that followed. Hear Mezrich talk about his dive into the cutthroat world of competitive chess, how a centuries-old game became a billion dollar industry, his career-spanning fascination with young savants who tango between ambition and abuse in their quest for success, and more.

Ben Mezrich in Conversation with David Rubenstein: Checkmate

With Susan Glasser, Jane Mayer, Evan Osnos, and special guest David Remnick. 
Are corruption and economic inequality becoming the defining issues in American politics — and the weapons that could drive a Democratic comeback in the 2026 midterms?
From Donald Trump’s rise to Zohran Mamdani’s insurgent win in New York City, economic anger has become one of the most powerful forces in American life. The chasm between the very rich and everyone else — between billionaires buying influence and voters struggling with rent, child care, and basic stability — is no longer in the background. It may be the central political fact of the moment.
But who can best channel that anger? Republicans have long turned class resentment against wealthy liberals, universities, and the media. Democrats are now trying to redirect it — toward oligarchy, corporate power, super PACs, and the ultra rich. As Democrats battle to harness economic anger, they face questions about what they’ll do if they retake Congress. Will investigating corruption in the Trump Administration, as they’re expected to do with their restored subpoena power, help the Party win back the trust of disillusioned voters? And looking to 2028, who will the Democratic presidential candidate be? What will Democratics learn, if anything, from the 2024 Harris loss to ensure victory in 2028?
In a live recording of The Political Scene podcast, The New Yorker’s political writers Susan B. Glasser, Jane Mayer, and Evan Osnos are joined by editor David Remnick to discuss inequality, affordability, and dark money—and who might be best positioned to tap the country’s anger over corruption and the wealth gap. How will Republicans respond? And how might the fight over this year’s midterms reverberate in the 2028 Presidential contest?

A widening affordability crisis. Conflict abroad and uncertainty at home. Deepening partisan division at every level of government. America faces a set of compounding challenges. Meeting them will require leaders willing to govern across party lines — and citizens willing to demand that they do.
As post-9/11 veterans who carried an ethic of service from the battlefield into elected office, Sherrill, Moore, and Bacon have built records of working across the aisle, often at political cost. What does that work look like in 2026, and what will it take to sustain it?
Courage Can Save US profiles ten elected leaders — five Democrats and five Republicans, nine veterans and a former FBI agent, including Sherrill, Moore, and Bacon — who continue to serve in a system that often punishes the attempt. Drawing on Barcott's work co-founding With Honor, the cross-partisan organization advancing principled veteran leadership in elected office, the book makes the case that courage in public life is not gone, but difficult, necessary, and underappreciated.
Ahead of America’s 250 birthday, hear Barcott moderate a discussion with Sherrill, Moore, and Bacon about this moment in American politics and American history — what it demands, and why service, character and shared purpose have never been more crucial. Hear them talk about what fuels the courage they choose — and how you can summon your own.

Join us for a special live recording of Detours and Destinations featuring celebrated cookbook author Adeena Sussman, in conversation with Rabbi David Ingber.
In this intimate and inspiring evening, Adeena and Rabbi Ingber will explore her personal and culinary journey and her newest book, ZARIZ, a vibrant collection of “easy, breezy, Tel Aviv-y” recipes born from a desire to find calm, creativity, and connection in the kitchen during times of uncertainty.
Together, they’ll delve into the deeper themes that shape Adeena’s work: how food becomes a language of resilience and identity; and how simplifying what’s on our plates can help clarify what matters most.
Expect a conversation that is as soulful as it is sensory, blending storytelling, spirituality, and the flavors of the Middle East and the Mediterranean into a meaningful dialogue about nourishment, purpose, and joy.
A signed book is included with every ticket.
