Tali Farhadian Weinstein is a candidate to become the next District Attorney of Manhattan. She believes in building a criminal justice system driven by empathy, humility, and accountability. But how? She’ll start by listening.
On Hearing, Tali – a veteran of the Obama Justice Department and former General Counsel to the Brooklyn District Attorney – hosts expansive, thoughtful conversations with policy experts, journalists, and community members. Her guests come from a wide range of backgrounds, but they are all engaged in the battle for a more progressive justice system, one that balances safety and fairness and delivers on equity. Tali believes that leaders listen. Each episode of Hearing welcomes you into her thought process as her campaign and perspective evolve. It’s a new kind of political podcast, where listeners will hear a candidate using her prosecutorial instincts to ask the right questions, and share the answers.
Criminal justice reform isn’t theoretical – it’s an urgent project with real consequences. Tali invites you to join her as she carves a path to a fair and fearless future.
