Anderson Cooper 360 is the audio adaptation of CNN’s flagship nightly news program, hosted by veteran journalist and correspondent Anderson Cooper. The podcast provides a curated version of the television broadcast, delivering comprehensive coverage of the day's most significant global and domestic headlines. It is designed for an audience seeking high-level reporting on politics, international relations, and breaking news events through the lens of objective inquiry and investigative rigor.

The show's editorial focus centers on the "360-degree" perspective, an approach intended to examine stories from multiple angles to provide full context. A recurring and central component of the program is the "Keeping Them Honest" segment, which scrutinizes the statements and actions of government officials and public figures to ensure accountability. The podcast regularly features in-depth interviews with newsmakers, policy experts, and CNN’s network of global correspondents, who provide on-the-ground reporting from major conflict zones and political centers.

In addition to hard news, the program often explores human interest stories and social issues, moving beyond daily statistics to highlight individual experiences within broader cultural and economic shifts. The audio format distills the visual elements of the television show into a concise narrative experience, prioritizing clarity and essential dialogue. Released on a weeknight schedule, the podcast serves as a timely summary of the evolving news cycle.

Produced by CNN Audio, the podcast leverages the extensive resources of one of the world's largest news organizations. While the program is produced and broadcast from the United States, it maintains an international scope, addressing topics that range from global health crises and environmental developments to shifts in the geopolitical landscape. The production maintains an objective and descriptive tone, focusing on factual delivery and expert analysis to inform its global listenership.
