  • lame

    interesting that the most recent review is over a year old, and the rest are 2-4 years okd. i can only assume someone in charge of the show is removing the more-recent reviews and they're doing so because these reviews are critical of the tone deaf leftist garbage this show espouses.

    Has the host had a stroke or suffers from dysphonia? Impossible to listen to without being distracted.

  • Encourages naive views of Israel Occupation

    The guest was allowed to drone on with zero ability to understand why 10/7 happened from a resistance pov and why it involved violence. It wasn’t a time to play nice. Doesn’t seem to have any clue about the last 75 years. Arrogant and unlistenable while also performing heroics of feeling enlightened.

    Liberal Zionism is just as bad as right wing Netanyahu Likud party Zionism. Listen to Norman Finkelstein, Jewish Voice for Peace, Not in My Name.

  • Excellent show/ Diverse views and opinions

    Entertaining, educational, and thought provoking. Saw this show recommended by an instagram influencer and started listening. This is a great podcast with interesting guests and perspectives. J.G leads a excellent interview and allows guests to share their views without judgement. If you want to hear diverse views, various topics, and lots of different types of guests - journalists, activists, government officials, and academics etc. you will enjoy this content.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Broken Incentives of American Politics and the Main Street Party Reform Plan w/ Tom Joseph
Q: Why focus on uncompetitive districts and how does that help reform overall?
Targeting uncompetitive districts allows the platform to demonstrate the model's viability and create a counterweight to incumbent incentives, potentially reshaping national politics by producing more accountable and responsive representatives through a multi-round, voter-driven process.
The Broken Incentives of American Politics and the Main Street Party Reform Plan w/ Tom Joseph
Q: What makes this approach different from the current system in terms of funding and backers?
A dedicated super PAC would fund the general campaign for the final nominees, but the nominating stage itself is moneyless; funding is routed after the primary to support the winner, with a governance structure that includes a local committee and a national party.
The Broken Incentives of American Politics and the Main Street Party Reform Plan w/ Tom Joseph
Q: So essentially, how would the Main Street Party's app prevent manipulation or coordinated campaigns?
The system would use transparent data visualization to show activities, enforce a moneyless nominating process, and rely on an auditable, rules-based framework where campaign activity is visible and non-compliant actions can lead to removal from the contest; over time, this builds trust in the integrity of the process.
What's Going on in Right-Wing Media? w/ Howard Polskin/Gen Z is Tired of War w/ Ionnis Vlahos
Q: How does Polskin view the relationship between fringe right-wing sites and mainstream outlets?
He argues that fringe ideas can be canaries for mainstream shifts, noting that some fringe concepts eventually move into mainstream politics and the policies of the Trump administration influence broader media behavior.
What's Going on in Right-Wing Media? w/ Howard Polskin/Gen Z is Tired of War w/ Ionnis Vlahos
Q: What inspired Howard Polskin to start The Righting, and how does he describe its purpose?
Polskin discusses starting The Righting during the Trump era after wanting a simple, non-sensational digest of headlines to understand what the right wing is talking about, and the goal is to lay out headlines without heavy commentary to help readers form their own views.
