The radio stalwart addresses life’s biggest questions.

Rachel Martin is the co-creator and host of the podcast Wild Card, an interview game show about life's biggest questions. She invites notable guests to play a card game that lets them open up about the memories, insights, and beliefs that have shaped their lives.

Martin spent six years as a host of Morning Edition, and was the founding host of NPR's award-winning morning news podcast Up First. She previously hosted Weekend Edition Sunday. She served as National Security Correspondent for NPR, where she covered both defense and intelligence issues, and also worked as a NPR foreign correspondent. Martin also previously served as NPR's religion correspondent. 

In this episode we talk about:

  • How to survive the news
  • How to make a huge career pivot
  • What it’s like to become an orphan as an adult
  • Insomnia and meditation
  • How to decide what matters in your life
  • We play the game Wild Card!
  • We talk about how good we are at being wrong
  • And lastly, something light… mortality and the infinite universe.
