  • Excellent sermons!

    If you enjoy Sixth & I’s Rosh Hashanah sermons, then I recommend this feed! I’d love for more sermons to be posted in future episodes.

    I have not listened to the book talk episodes very much, yet the audio quality of this show is good overall.

  • LOVE

    Love love love this! I’m a long-time Sixth & I fan and am always so bummed when I can’t make it to an event or it’s sold out before I get tickets. Now I can still hear the speaker and do laundry at the same time! Though nothing beats being in that gorgeous Sanctuary :)

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Taylor Tomlinson, comedian, with Rachel Martin
Q: How did saying no to After Midnight? Was that central to this epiphany?
Tomlinson says leaving the show was part of recognizing that she had pushed herself too far. Health problems also forced her to stop a stand-up tour, prompting her to set limits and take better care of herself.
Taylor Tomlinson, comedian, with Rachel Martin
Q: Do you remember a moment when you thought this is not me?
Tomlinson says leaving Christianity was gradual. She feared losing her religious family and began reconsidering her beliefs in college, after meeting people who had never believed in God.
Annie Lowrey, journalist, with Ezra Klein
Q: Is AI going to be an accelerant, an amplifier of time taxes or an answer to them?
Lowrey describes evidence that AI can make individual tasks faster while increasing the total volume and intensity of work. She also shares an example of AI helping a family find billing errors, while warning that companies may use AI to make it harder for people to challenge them.
Annie Lowrey, journalist, with Ezra Klein
Q: How do the new requirements for Medicaid and SNAP work, and how might states implement them differently?
Lowrey says expanded work requirements and reporting rules can cause eligible people to lose benefits, while states face limited capacity and potentially large costs. Those constraints may lead some states to deny benefits rather than improve access.
Sen. Chris Murphy with Jonathan Capehart
Q: What is the plan for 2028 to protect democracy and prevent a repeat of autocratic manipulation?
Focus on protecting democracy through stronger regulation of powerful tech and money in politics, promoting common good capitalism, and fostering grassroots citizen-led organizing to counter demagogic messages.
