People behind the production
TimesTalks began in 1998 as The New York Times' signature live conversation and performance series. It pairs NYT journalists with guests from culture, film, music, art, politics, and more, delivering thoughtful dialogue often accompanied by intimate live musical moments. While broader touring isn’t the core focus, TimesTalks continues to host compelling events through timestalks.com, with venues ranging from The Times Center in New York City to university spaces and festival settings. If you’re into immersive cultural conversations and occasional on-stage performances, you’ll want to follow the schedule for upcoming sessions with notable guests.
