  • Awesome

    I have listened to this broadcast for many years from Canada. Trump’s actions have now been found unconstitutional. He will not be in the White House forever and hopefully the midterms will right some of his reprehensible actions.

  • Israeli Propaganda

    I can’t believe the propaganda coming from PBS. PBS is supporting a genocide. This must be the new Trump version of PBS. I can’t subscribe anymore

  • Great content, but why so many ads suddenly?

    Re-upping my semi-annual complaint. This podcast has been my go to source for news for years - great content - but the drastic uptick in ads over the last few weeks is making me question my listenership. I wouldn’t mind an ad or two per day, but they seem to be on every story now, even the 2-minute ones!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Journalist details weekend spent with far-right Proud Boys
Q: Why did you want to talk to every chapter, and what did you hope to learn from that approach?
The goal was to see whether online discourse across the spectrum matches the real-world dynamics within chapters, and to understand how these groups present themselves when faced with the possibility of external scrutiny.
Lindsey Graham remembered for impact on South Carolina and the world
Q: You covered Senator Graham for years. How do you reconcile the arcs, from John McCain's wingman to Donald Trump's harshest critic, ultimately, as we know, to Donald Trump's strongest ally in the US Senate?
The real Lindsey Graham, as described by the reporter, was the one who consistently fought for South Carolina and worked to deliver for the state, adapting his approach over time to get things done while navigating shifts in party dynamics and national politics.
The campaign against Fauci and what brought him back before Congress
Q: What does the campaign against Fauci look like, and how has it affected him and his colleagues?
The campaign has been described as petty and personal, featuring threats, attacks on colleagues, and attempts to dismantle Fauci's legacy, which underscores the intense political pressure surrounding his role.
The campaign against Fauci and what brought him back before Congress
Q: Has the consensus on the origins of COVID-19 changed over time, and where does that leave us today?
Among scientists, especially virologists and evolutionary biologists, the preponderance of evidence still points to a natural origin, though the question remains open and disputed.
Epstein survivor criticizes Blanche, calls meeting 'a performative move'
Q: Can you expand on that a little bit? What about it made you come away with that impression?
We went into the meeting prepared with specific questions and an earnest desire to work with Todd Blanche and the DOJ, but the meeting did not provide clear answers or commitments, and it felt like a box-check rather than a substantive engagement.
