    Not really for audio only anymore. Remember when podcasts didn’t need to be watched. Too bad.

  • Enlightening and hilarious

    Hasan Minhaj has been spot on for years regarding what is happening in politics and our country. His humor is a spoonful of sugar that makes swallowing the decline of society less bitter.

  • Idiocracy

    I find it impossible to respect anyone who watches 23 episodes of Fruit Island even for journalistic purposes. I wonder how you’d feel about setting a stack of hundred dollar bills on fire. It’s nothing compared to this. Dude. It’s not cute of funny. That’s your life you’re burning. I refuse to participate.

  • July 1 w/Chris Christie

    Interview is good, I enjoy the show, good job. My gripe is with the microphones or balancing your team is doing/not doing. The slight echo I hear when each is talking is distracting. Cmon, y’all can do better.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Have Billionaires Bought The Midterms? with Issue One's Michael Beckel
Q: How much money do members of Congress need to raise for their elections if they want to stay in Congress?
Beckel estimates that a typical House member raises about $3,000 a day over two years, a highly competitive House candidate about $10,000 daily, and a candidate in a highly competitive Senate race more than $100,000 a day.
Have Billionaires Bought The Midterms? with Issue One's Michael Beckel
Q: What did Citizens United specifically change that made it uniquely bad?
Beckel says the decision allowed corporations to make independent expenditures in elections, including spending from corporate treasuries on ads supporting or opposing candidates. He adds that dark-money groups can obscure who is funding political advertising.
Are GLP-1s Legit? with Dr. Ania Jastrebroff
Q: Why are GLP-1s not considered weight loss drugs?
Because they treat obesity as a chronic disease by targeting the biology that drives fat storage, and the weight loss results from a new, lower set point rather than a temporary pharmacologic purge.
Are GLP-1s Legit? with Dr. Ania Jastrebroff
Q: Are GLP-1s basically a software update that corrects our biology for the modern world?
They work by recalibrating the brain's set point for fat storage, effectively lowering the fat set point so weight trends downward as a byproduct, rather than acting as a simple weight loss pill.
The Death of Reality - with Charlie Warzel
Q: How do you see the evolution of trust in reality affecting media and politics?
Trust in reality is being reshaped by any‑time access to AI-generated content; the nervous system of society now needs new inoculations—media literacy, transparency, and structural pushback against platform excesses—to rebuild a shared baseline of trust.
