Honestly with Bari Weiss

Honestly with Bari Weiss is an interview podcast published by The Free Press. Its official trailer is dated 4 June 2021, and the feed carried 360 items as of 1 September 2026. The feed describes the show as offering “stories no one else is telling and conversations with the most fascinating people in the country, every week from The Free Press, hosted by former New York Times and Wall Street Journal journalist Bari Weiss.”

Hiatus

The show is not currently in production. On 22 January 2026 the feed carried an item titled “A Note from Bari on Honestly” whose entire content is: “Honestly is taking a pause. We’ll be back soon.” No further Weiss-hosted episode has appeared. The feed’s most recent item, dated 17 April 2026, is the inaugural episode of a different programme, Second Thought, hosted by Suzy Weiss, published in the same feed.

Sourcing Note

The previous version of this page described an ongoing weekly show; it had not registered the January 2026 pause. Two other claims are removed. The reach line “Top 50 on Apple Podcasts politics chart” has no accessible source, and Apple’s charts are transient in any case. The paragraph describing the show’s “editorial positioning” — that it “seeks to surface nuanced perspectives on free expression… while maintaining a focus on liberal democratic norms and open inquiry” — is a characterization the project should not assert; the show’s own feed description is quoted above instead.
