Tell Me More with Kelly Corrigan

About the Series

In this season of "Tell Me More," listen to one-on-one conversations with musical icons like Jewel and Lang Lang, community leaders like Del Seymour, entertainment heavyweights like Constance Wu and Michael Lewis, scientists like Maya Shankar, and more.

Hosted by four-time New York Times bestselling author Kelly Corrigan, the show dives deep into each guest’s life to pull out poignant lessons they hope others can use to find their own calling or better understand themselves. Touching on themes like self-belief, resilience, humility, and justice, this series normalizes the human condition and emphasizes our capacity to grow.

Each episode ends with a special “Plus One” segment, in which guests are invited to thank those that have supported them along their journey. Such is a reminder that success is the result of joined efforts and that all of us are touched by the ripples of other’s contributions.

Michael Lewis sends his thanks to Dr. Arthur White, a former history teacher at Isidore Newman School in New Orleans, Louisiana, for kicking him in class whenever he’d fall asleep. For Dr. White was the first person who ever told Michael he could write.

Constance Wu also thanks a past educator of hers, Mr. Frizzle. Describing the middle school drama teacher as the first person who believed in her, she imparts her gratitude for him coming to her defense as a young student.

Maya Shankar’s Plus One is Christy Warren, a former first responder with 25 years of experience in the field. Having interviewed Christy on her podcast, “A Slight Change of Plans,” Maya shares her story of being a female firefighter and her difficult decision to eventually prioritize her mental health over her job.

Each episode in Season 5 of "Tell Me More" will leave you hopeful and with a few more tools in your kit to craft the life you want.
