After tracing a young man’s dizzying journey into an internet rabbit hole, we turn to the woman who oversees the world’s largest and most influential video empire: Susan Wojcicki, the chief executive of YouTube. As the platform is overrun with misinformation and extreme content, what is she doing to clean it up? We visit the headquarters to find out.

Listen to the Prologue, Episode 1, Episode 2 and Episode 3 of “Rabbit Hole.”

On today’s episode:

• Susan Wojcicki, the chief executive of YouTube, spoke with the columnist Kevin Roose and Julia Longoria, a producer.

• Andy Mills, a producer and reporter for The Times.

Background reading:

• When Ms. Wojcicki became the C.E.O. of YouTube in 2014, she “inherited an audacious goal: Get users to watch more than one billion hours of videos every day,” the Times reporter Daisuke Wakabayashi writes in his profile of the C.E.O. “Today, her job is to be something like the standards czar of an anarchic civilization.”
