A Podcast for the Questions Rarely Asked
Times Insider explains who we are and what we do and delivers behind-the-scenes insights into how our journalism comes together. When Wesley Morris, a critic at large for the Culture desk at The New York Times, was brainstorming what he wanted to do with his new podcast, he had carte blanche to invite pretty much any guest he wanted. But he didn't just want to talk to celebrities. Mr. Morris, who has won two Pulitzer Prizes for criticism, wanted to talk to the people who write about culture and the artists who make it, whether they were his friends or colleagues, or someone else who might have interesting things to say about why a particular show, character or maker had cut through the noise. 'The thing about having critics and writers come on is that they're used to talking about art and culture,' Mr. Morris said. 'But artists would love to talk about things they're not normally asked about.' In the new weekly conversation show he is hosting, 'Cannonball,' which debuted last month and drops new episodes on Thursdays, Mr. Morris said he seeks to explore culture 'in the broadest possible sense.' So far, that has brought us conversations with the writer Mark Harris about the new Pee-wee Herman documentary and what it means for artists to publicly come out, and with the chef and cookbook author Samin Nosrat about her love-hate relationship with FX's restaurant industry drama 'The Bear.' In an interview, Mr. Morris shared his favorite podcasts and his dream guest for 'Cannonball.' These are edited excerpts from the conversation. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Wordle hints today for #1,501: Clues and answer for Tuesday, July 29
Hey, there! We hope your week is off to a great start. As always, whenever you have a little downtime, there's a fresh game of Wordle ready for you to play. In case you need a little assistance with today's edition, here's our daily Wordle guide with some hints and the answer for Tuesday's puzzle (#1,501). It may be that you're a Wordle newcomer and you're not completely sure how to play the game. We're here to help with that too. What is Wordle? Wordle is a deceptively simple daily word game that first emerged in 2021. There is one five-letter word to deduce every day by process of elimination. The daily word is the same for everyone. Wordle blew up in popularity in late 2021 after creator Josh Wardle made it easy for players to share an emoji-based grid with their friends and followers that detailed how they fared each day. The game's success spurred dozens of clones across a swathe of categories and formats. The New York Times purchased Wordle in early 2022 for an undisclosed sum. The publication said that players collectively played Wordle 5.3 billion times in 2024. So, it's little surprise that Wordle is one of the best online games and puzzles you can play daily. How to play Wordle To start playing Wordle, you simply need to enter one five-letter word. The game will tell you how close you are to that day's secret word by highlighting letters that are in the correct position in green. Letters that appear in the word but aren't in the right spot will be highlighted in yellow. If you guess any letters that are not in the secret word, the game will gray those out on the virtual keyboard. However, you can still use those letters in subsequent guesses. You'll only have six guesses to find each day's word, though you still can use grayed-out letters to help narrow things down. It's also worth remembering that letters can appear in the secret word more than once. Wordle is free to play on the NYT's website and apps, as well as on Meta Quest headsets and Discord. The game refreshes at midnight local time. If you log into a New York Times account, you can track your stats, including the all-important win streak. How to play Wordle more than once a day If you have a NYT subscription that includes full access to the publication's games, you don't have to stop after a single round of Wordle. You'll have access to an archive of more than 1,400 previous Wordle games. So if you're a relative newcomer, you'll be able to go back and catch up on previous editions. In addition, paid NYT Games members have access to a tool called the Wordle Bot. This can tell you how well you performed at each day's game.
