Brinda Adhikari, Showrunner and Executive Producer for The Problem with Jon Stewart

Simi welcomes Brinda Adhikari, Executive Producer and Showrunner of The Problem with Jon Stewart. This new AppleTV show marks the famed Jon Stewart’s return to television as he tackles a new societal issue in every episode. And Brinda — she's at the helm.

Brinda joined The Problem  from CBS News, where she was a senior broadcast producer for segments anchored by major TV personalities like Norah O’Donnell and Scott Pelley. She began her career in broadcast television at ABC news, where she started as a researcher and rose the ranks to become a producer on World News Tonight with Diane Sawyer and David Muir. She spent over a decade at the organization. Brinda is unlike any other guest we’ve had on Trailblazers to date. In this episode, we delve into why she chose to pursue production, diversity in the industry, and her vision for her highly-anticipated new show.
