  • MAGAt hypocrites

    The 1 star reviews from MAGAts complaining about bias and lack of journalistic integrity are hilarious.

    MAGAts, your “news” of choice, Fox “News,” is biased gutter journalism at its worst. Ancient Australian billionaire Murdoch thinks you’re all so stupid that he can literally tell you what to think, and you all keep proving him right.

    Normal journalism seems “liberal” because your minds are warped by Murdoch’s trashy propaganda.

  • Zero stars

    Through childhood and my young adult life, Katie Creek was always my new go to my trusted source. I am growing so disappointed in somewhat heartbroken that this podcast is filled with so much fear, mongering, and gas gaslighting of people it’s disheartening. I thought she was a true journalist. It just makes me sad.

  • Other Points of Views

    Why doesn’t Katie have someone like American Israeli Miko Peled on her podcast to explain the history of the brutal Israeli occupation in Palestine. We heard the views of ignorant guests like John Fetterman and Fmr Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. I wonder how much money Fetterman and other politicians like him, i.e. Bill and Hillary Clinton, received from Israeli lobbyists?

  • Could we get journalism please ?

    Please ask your quest a question and let the quest answer !

    Katie wears her bias on her sleeve and in the tone of her questioning .

    Seems to be if she doesn't get the answer that she wants, she repeats the same question over and over hoping to get the answer to fit the narrative she wants .

    Guess because this pod cast is a hobby for her and is not aiming for true journalism . Won't be subscribing .

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Katie’s One-on-One with Senator Chris Murphy
Q: You define the common good as a community-centered approach and ask what individuals can do in daily life to help rebuild it. How do you translate that into concrete policies?
Murphy argues for bold, systemic moves like breaking up media conglomerates, incentivizing local journalism, expanding labor power, enforcing anti-corruption measures, and constitutional amendments to curb billionaire and anonymous money in politics, while also encouraging practical local actions that reinforce social bonds.
Katie’s One-on-One with Rahm Emanuel
Q: Why do you think people tolerate the level of corruption they perceive?
Because the political dynamics create a powerful emotional hold on a core voter base, even as many people feel left behind; voters separate personal loyalty from policy outcomes and increasingly demand accountability, while primary dynamics and messaging keep certain figures viable in the short term.
Historian Timothy Snyder on Orban’s defeat, Christian nationalism, and What’s Coming Next
Q: How should Americans translate these lessons into 2024 and beyond?
By registering voters, organizing locally, funding independent media, and building cross-ideological coalitions that can mobilize large-scale participation on Election Day and create a deterrent against rigged or illegitimate outcomes.
Historian Timothy Snyder on Orban’s defeat, Christian nationalism, and What’s Coming Next
Q: Why is protest important beyond immediate policy wins?
Protests teach a wide segment of the population that collective action matters, create organizational connections for broader civic life, and cultivate hope that change is possible, which is essential for sustaining democratic momentum.
Historian Timothy Snyder on Orban’s defeat, Christian nationalism, and What’s Coming Next
Q: What were the key factors behind Orbán's defeat and what can Americans learn from Hungary?
Orbán's defeat came from a combination of independent reporting that exposed scandals, sustained protest and campaigning over an extended period, and the realization by voters that protest and elections are interconnected, enabling broader coalitions to form around shared goals beyond party lines.
