  • Intelligent and thoughtful conversation

    An outstanding podcast that makes complex news and current events easy to understand. Amna and Jeff are amazing hosts who ask thoughtful, insightful questions without resorting to “gotcha” journalism. Have been watching/listening to them since the beginning. The conversations feel intelligent, balanced, engaging, and genuinely respectful. Highly recommended for anyone who values thoughtful, credible, and compelling journalism.

  • Lowers the temperature and raises the signal…

    Settle In keeps proving why it’s a gold standard in this space. The interview with Ben Wickler is a great example. Clear, grounded, no panic, just smart, humane strategy. The kind of conversation that lowers the temperature and raises the signal.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Min Jin Lee on her new novel, "American Hagwon"
Q: Why did you choose to focus this novel around this idea and this part of the deeply embedded Korean culture?
Lee began with a question about why education matters so much to Koreans around the world. Her research led her to examine how education can become tied to status, credentials and pressure, and she uses hagwons as an organizing metaphor for learning and growth.
Min Jin Lee on her new novel, "American Hagwon"
Q: What is a Hagwon and why does it matter in Korean culture?
Lee describes a hagwon as a paid learning center for subjects ranging from English and fencing to public speaking. In South Korea, hagwons are deeply embedded in the culture and reflect a commitment to self-improvement.
D.L. Hughley on confronting Bill Cosby and the power of comedy
Q: What does accountability look like at this point as you've tried to make amends?
Hughley says accountability involves trying to become a different person rather than merely apologizing. He says he no longer has the capacity to keep lying to himself or others.
D.L. Hughley on confronting Bill Cosby and the power of comedy
Q: This book, Charlie's Boy, you know, you've told stories about your life on stage, on TV. What could you say in a book that you couldn't say anywhere else?
Hughley says the memoir is more introspective than his previous work. He wrote without knowing where the material would lead, making it his most interesting writing experience.
Why child sexual abuse is our biggest public health crisis
Q: Can you give me an example of how you bring that up? I mean, what does that conversation feel like in real time?
Letourneau describes using correct names for body parts and calmly asking children whether anyone hurt or touched them, while reassuring them that they can disclose concerns safely.
