Jen and Noam check in to discuss Scott Wiener's bad week of being hounded in public over his very tepid support of Israel, the primary win of Darializa Chevalier in the NY-13 district and should we care, and what exactly is going on with the "ceasefi... more
Noam and Jen reflect (heh) on the past week, starting with the reflecting pool and moving on to what exactly is going on with the US and Iran and the MOU. It's all a bit murky, nobody is doing their best work, and everyone has someone to blame for th... more
Jen and Noam are celebrating the president's birthday! No, we aren't actually! But we are talking about Trump and his on-again, off-again affair with Iran. After we finished recording this week's episode there was an announcement of an alleged deal b... more
Noam and Jen are on time this week, because there's a lot to talk about. As we somewhat alluded to last week, the NYT dropped a story detailing Graham Platner's past. While it is being slammed as a soft catch and kill, and the main named accuser Lind... more

Thoughtful, refreshing, and fun
Noam: Well thought out statement that shows understanding with both sides of an issue.
Jen: TDS-induced screeching
Noam has great measured takes, regardless of politics. Jen’s “libertarian” cover is really just a lot of pretty mainstream progressive talking points, absent the standard “oppressor vs oppressed” repetition
I listen to several center-left and center-right podcasts, but Noam and Jen are probably the best at boiling down an issue and getting to the heart of a news item. This podcast has become one of my absolute go-to’s for reasonable political commentary. Even though I’d love there to be a higher frequency, it’s probably a good thing that we only get one per week, since it gives both of them time to think about and digest an issue before talking about it. Thanks for your work, guys!
Can’t listen anymore. Jen not only sounds like a person who lives on social media, but one of the least intelligent people who lives entirely online.

Two hosts deliver brisk, skeptical takes on current events at the intersection of politics, media, technology, and culture. Episodes consistently roam from geopolitics and public discourse to AI, online narratives, and pop culture, all through a sharp, humorous lens. The format blends rapid-fire analysis with deeper dives on media narratives, making it a useful listen for listeners who want concise, thought-provoking commentary with room for tangents and personal recommendations.

Noteworthy is the show's willingness to connect disparate topics—from international flas... more
