Friends,
Today we celebrate, toast America, and try to explain what happened this week. It wasn’t the inevitable midterm swing of the pendulum against the party in power, or the economy, or even just Trump. It was anti-establishment fury at a rigged... more
Friends,
It’s the day after a historic midterm election. I took some time with my colleagues Heather Lofthouse and Vishal Shankar to debrief, unpack the election results, and talk about where we go from here. Thanks for joining us.

Friends,
Three days before the beginning of the end of Trump and all he stands for — let us hope and pray — Heather and I take a close look at what the midterm elections hold, what Trump is doing (and trying to do) to undermine them, what Elon Musk... more
My good friend Anand Giridharadas is out with a wonderful new book, Man in the Mirror, and today I had an opportunity to talk with him about it. One of the things I enjoy most about talking with Anand is how his mind works. He always sees the larger ... more

His talking points are tired and over-inflated. The lies are disturbing!
Listen to this podcast to understand Mr. Reich’s personal opinions and how they relate to his more analytical work. This podcast can suffer from “piling on” to the outrage against Trump—of which there is no shortage. When Mr. Reich delivers true insights they are valuable and helpful in understanding how the current administration is structurally undermining the US at home and abroad.
Thank you for giving me hope each week. I love the show! If you are unsure of whether to bring back the coffee klatch intro song may I suggest using the outro music for both sides of the podcast? It reminds me of me of a public radio cooking show music and calms my soul every time :)
Yes, bring back the theme music. Please
My dear Secretary Reich
You were the first person I thought of when I learned of the passing today of Dolly.
Please know you have my deepest heartfelt sympathies for the loss of such an amazing idol.
It broke my heart that you didn’t get to meet Dolly.
She will be in all of our hearts always.
Your tribute on Substack brought me to tears.
