WEBVTT - Person of The Week • A New TIME Podcast with Charlotte Alter

0:00:01.910 --> 0:00:04.819
<v S1>I'm Charlotte Alter and this is Person of the Week –

0:00:04.820 --> 0:00:07.340
<v S1>a new show from TIME about the people who shape

0:00:07.340 --> 0:00:10.010
<v S1>our world and the forces that shape them.

0:00:10.369 --> 0:00:13.880
<v S1>As a Senior Correspondent for TIME, I've covered political campaigns,

0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:16.910
<v S1>national protests, new technologies, and more.

0:00:17.090 --> 0:00:19.880
<v S1>I've talked to thousands of people – and if there's one

0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:22.490
<v S1>thing I've learned, it's that to understand our world, you

0:00:22.489 --> 0:00:25.100
<v S1>need to understand the people who influence it.

0:00:25.250 --> 0:00:28.640
<v S1>So, this summer, I'll be having more conversations with the

0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:31.400
<v S1>humans behind the headlines. A lot more.

0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:34.100
<v S1>And I'm bringing them to you firsthand.

0:00:34.610 --> 0:00:36.290
<v S1>You'll hear from lawmakers:

0:00:36.500 --> 0:00:40.550
<v S2>"Florida's really a case study in the difference between politics

0:00:40.550 --> 0:00:41.600
<v S2>and policy."

0:00:41.780 --> 0:00:42.800
<v S3>Artists:

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:45.320
<v S3>"I do know film and I do know actors. You

0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:47.000
<v S3>start building on what you do know."

0:00:47.030 --> 0:00:48.200
<v S1>Business leaders:

0:00:48.290 --> 0:00:50.450
<v S4>"I don't need to work at this point. I do

0:00:50.450 --> 0:00:53.600
<v S4>it because I'm deeply driven by the mission."

0:00:53.610 --> 0:00:56.440
<v S1>And more... about the way they see the world:

0:00:56.450 --> 0:01:00.230
<v S5>"You know, I weep for the amount of anger I

0:01:00.230 --> 0:01:02.420
<v S5>feel among other men,"

0:01:02.570 --> 0:01:04.140
<v S1>...and how they hope to change it:

0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:07.580
<v S6>"We are connected to the problem and therefore connected to

0:01:07.580 --> 0:01:08.540
<v S6>the solution."

0:01:08.630 --> 0:01:10.610
<v S1>This is a show that makes sense of our world

0:01:10.610 --> 0:01:13.250
<v S1>by going deep with the people who affect our lives

0:01:13.250 --> 0:01:14.090
<v S1>the most.
