  • Wonder Onward

    A must-listen every time a new episode appears! Guests I know are approached with questions I hadn’t imagined; thinkers I’d have missed (the book I might not have picked up, the film I hadn’t streamed) are probed with such true fascination that I seek out their writings, etc., to learn more. Kelly is a top-notch conversation partner, for that’s how these interviews feel - casual in the best sense, like the questions are following a clear trajectory but never in a way that feels forced. Love t... more

  • Eyes definitely not glazing over

    This series about who’s government is one of the most interesting this pod has ever produced! The episode w/ Geraldine Brooks about Jarod Koopman definitely didn’t make my eyes glaze over, as was Kelly’s concern. I find it deeply fascinating!

  • Honoring Glen Hansard

    Thank you, Kelly, for spotlighting the enormous talent, Glen Hansard. Like you, I saw him perform in an intimate setting at a movie theatre bar (in LA, of course) and at the Greek Theatre. Whether a hundred people or thousands, he connected with his audience in an extraordinary way. Everything was from the heart and soul. I was stunned and heartbroken to read the newsletter informing us of his passing. I encourage everyone to listen to his music (solo, The Swell Season, The Frames), and consider... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Go To on Admitting You Don't Know
Q: What differences do you see between the Senate and Congress, and why do people find it hard to admit they don't know something?
There is a broad public gap in civics knowledge that people fear exposing, yet asking questions demonstrates care about the topic and can catalyze broader understanding across communities as knowledge ripples outward.
Go To on Admitting You Don't Know
Q: Can you talk about the videos that you've done, the sort of lessons that you've delivered via the Internet that have had the most traction that maybe potentially surprised you?
The videos have drawn attention by stressing the imperative of knowing facts and separating them from mere vibes, highlighting how understanding civics empowers people to act effectively, especially when they realize they can learn and then teach others in their communities.
Deep Dive with Geraldine Brooks on Fairness
Q: Can you explain, for a lay audience, how crypto works and why it's such fertile ground for crime?
Crypto was created as a cryptographic store of value to enable peer-to-peer transfers outside traditional banking, with Bitcoin serving as the primary example. Its appeal lies in the supposed anonymity and global reach, but the same features also enable drugs, fraud, and sanctions evasion; the technology is fascinating and potentially world-changing, yet it can be exploited by criminals until proper regulation and enforcement catch up.
Deep Dive with Geraldine Brooks on Fairness
Q: How long did it take you to find Jared?
It didn't take me long to find Jared because Danny Werfel, who was then running the IRS, introduced me to the work he had done, and it sounded exactly like the perfect fit for the project. What took time was realizing how remarkable his personality was and how his team worked, including his focus on the details and the impact of their cases on real people.
Deep Dive with Sarah Vowell on Access
Q: What is the significance of the oath taken by federal employees?
The oath to the Constitution is presented as a sacred foundation for public service, with Archives staff uniquely responsible for protecting the Constitution itself, underscoring the seriousness of archival work.
