Ezra Klein invites you into a conversation on something that matters. How do we address climate change if the political system fails to act? Has the logic of markets infiltrated too many aspects of our lives? What is the future of the Republican Party? What do psychedelics teach us about consciousness? What does sci-fi understand about our present that we miss? Can our food system be just to human... more

  • Ross you credulous dupe, you

    Ross has picked her apart expertly. Arlen Spector inspector would be proud. Are we still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?!?!?!?

  • We need Ezra right now

    I fear for the safety of brave believers like Ezra who actually believe in freedom (not Freedom® as co-opted by Trump). But his voice — like that of all democracy-loving Americans — needs to be loud and strong more than ever. From up here in Canada I worry that Americans have lost their mojo, and that nihilism will overtake your can-do belief in a brighter future than just for the few at the top. Thank you Ezra for the light you bring to the dark cesspools of Trump’s and his sycophants’ corrupti... more

  • The perfect grilled cheese recipe

    An excellent way to make a grilled cheese sandwich is to first obtain sour dough sandwich bread, and then add a combination of Gouda, provolone and pepper jack. Put the stove on medium high and slither with butter. Apply sandwich with caution for 2 minutes then flip and burn for another minute. Remove from skillet and enjoy!!!

  • Favorite Podcast

    Although I listen to many podcasts, The Ezra Klein show is hands-down, my favorite. I think my wife is a little jealous of how much I like this show and of how often I agree completely with Ezra‘s opinions. It is extraordinarily rare for me to miss listening to an episode within 24 hours of its release.

  • Ross Douthat

    To “cover” the Jeffrey Epstein story without discussing the money laundering is not covering the Epstein story. The NYT itself did a great story on that. And this podcast in lieu of yours … please Don’t do that
