The Atlantic has long been known as an ideas-driven magazine. Now we’re bringing that same ethos to audio. Like the magazine, the show will “road test” the big ideas that both drive the news and shape our culture. Through conversations—and sometimes sharp debates—with the most insightful thinkers and writers on topics of the day, Radio Atlantic will complicate overly simplistic views. It will cut ... more

Last week’s midterms were clear: American voters are not happy with the war in Iran.
Less clear, though, is what President Trump can or will do now. After elevating his hard-line adviser Stephen Miller to chief of staff and shielding Secretary of De... more
In a resounding rebuke to President Trump, voters this week gave Democrats control over both the House and Senate. Call it a blue wave or a blue tsunami. The power has suddenly shifted to a party that just two years two ago was decimated by Trump and... more

Top tier in depth interviews that I can trust
At this point I can’t even take seriously any analysts talking about this President as if he has any kind of strategy or does any critical thinking about policy, the country, or any global issue. We KNOW that he doesn’t read, he has no intellectual curiosity, he likely has dementia, he is pathologically dishonest….the list goes on. His former Administration told us these things. Please stop talking about him like he’s a “normal second-term President considering his legacy.” It’s absurd. He’s a c... more
If you enjoy middle of the road, Melba toast and normalizing political content… this is the podcast for you. Unsubscribing
. . . a reasonable review 40 days out. 3 stars because I heard reporting but no emphasis on Trump’s intervention / invention of mid-decade gerrymandering. I heard “downward spiral” but no word of definitive instigation by one president and one party. I heard of voter demoralization or confusion, but no reporter curiosity as to whether either one asked who’s the more responsible for this sense of wobbliness and uncertainty that may bring chaos.
