  • Iran

    Terrific deep dive pod explaining so much more than other new shows tell. So important to hear a voice from within rather that the West perception of what is happening. Keep up the excellent work thank you 👍

  • Please stop interrupting your guests

    You’ve got plenty of time in the rest of the podcast to express your opinions. Please stop talking over the experts, it’s irritating.

    Otherwise, the podcast often offers interesting perspectives.

  • Sad sad sad

    I’ve known and talked with Chuck for almost 10 yrs I met him in person

    And will say when he’s not spinning political lies and rhetoric he is a nice person.

    Once that political mask goes on, Chuck David Todd becomes a narcissistic, self absorbed wannabe.

    I won’t waste your time with numerous examples, because I could fill a 100 page book with his stupidity.

    I’ll highlight a few of his amazing comments that I have proof he did say even though it was off the record.

    Congress and the public did not authorize the attack. Why would the public feel responsible for long term financial and military commitment?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Interview Only w/ Lauren Gustus - How The Salt Lake Tribune Reinvented Itself & Local News
Q: Let me ask about the decision to get rid of the paywall. How many different hybrid solutions did you look into before coming to your conclusion?
We tested the model with a control group over two years, using a cohort to see what readers value and how they respond, which helped confirm that moving toward free access with memberships could work while maintaining ongoing support.
Full Episode - Trump Looks For Off-Ramp After Threatening War Crimes + How The Salt Lake Tribune Reinvented Itself & Local News
Q: What prompted the paywall decision and what were the key experiments before deciding to go free?
The team tested a reader cohort for two years, shared reporting with smaller outlets, and evaluated membership benefits, ultimately deciding to move toward free access for older stories and broader public availability while building community-supported revenue streams.
Full Episode - Trump Looks For Off-Ramp After Threatening War Crimes + How The Salt Lake Tribune Reinvented Itself & Local News
Q: Would you consider Salt Lake Tribune's nonprofit model a template for other legacy papers in similar markets?
Lauren Gustus explains that the Tribune's nonprofit status, supported by philanthropy like the Huntsman family, focuses on rebuilding independence, expanding access, and creating collaborative reporting networks that benefit smaller outlets, while maintaining strong local engagement.
Interview Only w/ Megan Kate Nelson - The American West You Didn’t Get In History Class
Q: What motivated you to expand the West's cast beyond pioneers to include Mexican, Chinese, and Indigenous perspectives?
To reveal the West as a dynamic, border-spanning space shaped by many people and forces, not merely a westward push by white settlers; this approach helps explain economic, social, and political developments more accurately.
Interview Only w/ Megan Kate Nelson - The American West You Didn’t Get In History Class
Q: How do you approach research when dealing with figures who left little or no written record, like Sacagawea?
I rely on a combination of multiple journals from contemporaries, travel logs, and later historical reinterpretations to piece together a plausible ground-level narrative, while clearly signaling where evidence is indirect.
