About the editor
Why Meredith writes Worth the Listen, Worth the Chat
Meredith Lavergne curates the week's biggest moments in TV, film, books, and podcasts so you're always in on the conversation — being online without the misery of being online. Worth the Chat is exactly what's worth sending to the group chat this week: the shows, the moments, and the takes sparking conversation, and why they matter.

John Farrar
TV & Film, Twice weekly
Podcasts & Audio, Weekly
John Farrar has spent two decades in the screening rooms and edit bays most viewers never see — as a festival programmer, a studio reader, and a critic who reviewed more than four thousand films before he stopped counting. He started Worth the Watch on a simple premise: you do not have time to be wrong about what you stream tonight. Each edition is one decisive call, argued in full, so you can spend the evening watching instead of scrolling.

Genevieve Nierman reads roughly three hundred books a year so you only have to read the ones that matter. A former acquisitions editor, she has spent her career separating the books publishers want you to buy from the books you will actually finish. Worth the Read is her weekly verdict: one pick worth clearing your weekend for, and an honest word on what to skip.
