“At Tribeca, we’ve always believed in showcasing great storytelling no matter where we find it, Tribeca Festival director and senior vp, programming Cara Cusumano said in a statement. “This year’s TV and podcast lineup reflects a creative landscape where stories move fluidly across formats and expands the Festival beyond the screen into shared, live moments of discovery. Together, they embody Tribeca’s commitment to interdisciplinary storytelling and to championing the voices shaping culture today, wherever and however those stories are told.”
Festival senior programmer Liza Domnitz adds, “This year’s TV lineup blends dynamic documentary storytelling with contemporary dramas and provocative comedy, capturing the cultural pulse across generations and genres. From the intimacy of personal rediscovery to the shifting landscapes of art, sports and sex, all our TV selections come anchored in brilliant post-screening conversations with creative teams, subjects or cast.”
The podcast lineup includes live tapings of On with Kara Swisher, featuring Marc Maron; The New Yorker Radio Hour with David Remnick; The New York Times’ Cannonball with Wesley Morris; and Slate’s Death, Sex & Money, with host Anna Sale joined by Peter Dinklage and Erica Schmidt.
“This year marks our most expansive program yet, deepening our focus on independent podcast discoverability and creating even more opportunities to celebrate exceptional new work,” Tribeca podcasts and audio head Davy Gardner said in a statement. “Meanwhile, the Tribeca podcast stage has evolved into something larger than live recordings or performances. It’s a place where the defining voices of the medium come to create something new: one-night-only experiences that, together, feel like a live expression of where podcasting is today.”
