    Love this podcast, it’s the only one I haven’t lost interest in 😆 podcasts where it’s just 2-3 people discussing stuff usually looses my interest. I think this one has lasted because they are talking about the news, which is applicable to me, and it’s not 1 hour of the same topic. They aren’t yelling at you, or telling you what to believe, and they aren’t condescending either. Those are the reasons why I stopped listening and watching the news on the tv or radio. I think if my dad had lived lon... more

  • My go-to morning ritual!

    I love that Mosheh and Jill provide the headlines, and they also do their best to provide different points of view. The state of our country has us in echochambers, so I appreciate their giving context as to why different sides of the aisle have certain stances. Thank you for providing me with the news I need each morning!

  • Love this podcast!

    I listen to this every morning! Truly the best news podcast out there. Such balanced and fact-based news. I genuinely could not tell who the hosts voted for in an election, though have much knowledge of their music and pop culture preferences.

  • Great Show

    A great daily news podcast that goes through the biggest headlines of the day. I like it releases early in the morning so it’s ready for starting the day. Mo and Jill are great hosts and I think they mix in just the right amount of “non news” items like this day in history and talk about their families. Thanks for all you do Mo and Jill

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Interview - Building Resilience: The Key to Better Health | A Conversation With Dr. Tara Narula
Q: What are the core pillars of resilience you advocate in your book?
The eight pillars include acceptance, flexible thinking, hope, faith, love, purpose, social connection, and healthy lifestyle choices like exercise and sleep, all of which can be practiced to build resilience.
Interview - Mo News World Cup Preview W/ Men In Blazers' Roger Bennett
Q: How far can the US men go this time given the expanded field and home-field advantage?
He emphasizes the mental barriers and the need for a breakthrough knockout stage success, suggesting progress is possible but contingent on development, confidence, and overcoming historic performance gaps.
Interview - Mo News World Cup Preview W/ Men In Blazers' Roger Bennett
Q: Obviously, it's a very large field this year, but who are the big teams that we're looking at and some of the major personalities that we can expect to be seeing a lot of?
Bennett outlines a stacked favorites slate (France, Spain) with other nations like Portugal and Argentina also shaping the title race, while noting the US's potential breakthrough and the importance of star players and coaches in driving attention.
Interview - 'Suicidal Empathy': Gad Saad On Immigration, Gender & The Future Of The West
Q: How should individuals recalibrate their empathy to avoid extremes without becoming cold?
Emphasize well-modulated empathy grounded in evolutionarily relevant ranges, use statistical reasoning to interpret social data, and apply contextual judgment to determine when empathy should influence policy and personal behavior rather than treating all situations as equally empathetic.
Interview - 'Suicidal Empathy': Gad Saad On Immigration, Gender & The Future Of The West
Q: What is the origin of suicidal empathy, in your view, and how did it spread?
It grows from a cascade of parasitic ideas that began on university campuses—cultural relativism, postmodernism, and radical identity politics—spreading through intellectual networks and media, which then hijack people's emotional responses and undermine logic and social cohesion.
