By TED Blog · Published September 22, 2026 at 6:55 PM UTC · Announcement date 2026-09-03 TED announced Corner Piece on September 3 and set its launch for September 10. The English-language show is hosted by Taha Khan, Melissa Fernandes and Sabrina Cruz, the team behind Answer in Progress. New episodes are scheduled every other Thursday.The format starts with an ordinary personal question and expands it through reporting, expert interviews and experiments. TED’s launch examples include friendship, loneliness and unconditional love. That gives the show a useful editorial engine: each episode can begin with something recognizable while still creating room for research and expert context.For creators, the lesson is not that every show needs experts or a large production team. It is that a repeatable starting mechanism can make a broad subject feel coherent. “Modern life” is too large to be a useful episode plan on its own; one sharply phrased question is manageable. Corner Piece pairs that question with a predictable process, which can help listeners understand what kind of journey an episode will take before they press play.Announcement date: September 3, 2026SourcesTED Blog Report a correction · Have podcast news?
