Ari Shapiro is ready to talk — this time, about himself. After a journalism career spent listening to others, he’s telling his story of a job that has taken him around the world and even sparked creative pursuits like performing with the band Pink Martini and the legendary bisexual entertainer Alan Cumming.
The cohost of NPR’s All Things Considered and former White House correspondent gets personal in his memoir-in-essays The Best Strangers in the World: Stories From a Life Spent, out March 21 from HarperCollins. The 44-year-old shares everything from the story of his relationship with his husband, Mike Gottlieb, to why he likes sweating the way he does to never liking the question “What’s your favorite interview?”
