More Perfect, sometimes stylized as Radiolab Presents: More Perfect, is a podcast about American history and politics provided by WNYC Studios. Its first three seasons were hosted by Jad Abumrad. In July 2022, WNYC announced it would return in 2023 for a fourth season, with a new host in Julia Longoria.

Background

The podcast debuted as a spinoff of WNYC's Radiolab on June 2, 2016, with an episode entitled "Cruel and Unusual", which was dedicated to the legal history of the death penalty in the United States.[6][7] The podcast was developed to focus on the history of decisions made by the Supreme Court.[8][9][10] Elie Mystal was the legal editor for the podcast.[11]

On July 14, 2022, WNYC Studios announced that it would return for a fourth season with new host Julia Longoria.[12] The show ended in 2023.[13]

27: The Most Perfect Album

The podcast's third season was built around 27: The Most Perfect Album, an album dedicated to the Constitution of the United States, with at least one song about each of its amendments.[14][15] Artists contributing to the project include Cherry Glazerr, who focused on the 1st Amendment; They Might Be Giants with the 3rd Amendment; Dolly Parton's anthem on the 19th Amendment; and Kevin Morby's song for the 24th Amendment.[16][17]
