  • probably just another polished cheerleader for the left

    It might be a dozen years ago, when I last listened. Stumbled on it this morning.

    It should bother everyone that this high quality show is just a mouthpiece for one political party. It also should bother the hosts, but I understand that if they did provide any balance at all or deal with the complexity of issues, they’d lose most of their audience. Gotta keep donors happy.

    I laughed at today’s guest, a “former” repub who loves that party. When asked which politician she likes, immediately go... more

  • My fav podcast

    I love the combination of Remnick’s interviewing style (plus, of course, the great choice of Osnos as sub) and the show’s timely lineup of guests: Kai Bird on Roy Cohn (grateful for the book’s depressing insights), Erin Brockovich on data centers, Steinem (from 2015), El-Sayed (I learned a lot about him), Romer as co-chair of DSA (very frightening imo), Jessica Tarlov, Dana White (deluded imo and helpful to hear it), Blitzer on ICE detention, etc etc etc. PLUS, I find the episode illustrations t... more

  • BERNIE

    Love that you had Bernie on! Absolutely love this politician.

    I have voted for him to be president, and believe in him.

    Being socialistic is not all that bad. We already have social programs. It's just that the middle class that has nothing in the way of " free" or " already paid for"

    The old have Medicare the poor have Medicaid the veterans have the VA, and the rich have more money than they know what to do with. It's time for a hard change. What about the middle class?!!!

  • Romer interview

    While I may not agree with her politics, Megan Romer deserved better treatment than she got from David Remnick. He seems to think it acceptable to interrupt his guest constantly—perhaps he thinks that’s the way a “tough” host approaches his subject. For almost the entire episode, he’d pose a question, and then, when she had started to answer, he’d break in to question a response that she had not fully completed.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Edwidge Danticat on Haitian Americans in a Time of Peril
Q: What draws you to research, and why do you value factfulness in your writing?
Danticat explains that researching with input from diverse sources keeps her from relying on her own limited view, and that fact-checking both nonfiction and fiction helps create a responsible, nuanced portrayal of people and places.
Colin Kaepernick, Ten Years After Taking a Knee
Q: What was the NFL's response and how did it affect your career trajectory?
The NFL and teams often framed the protest as a business or branding issue, sometimes cutting ties with players who spoke out, which contributed to the end of Kaepernick's NFL career despite on-field ability.
Colin Kaepernick, Ten Years After Taking a Knee
Q: Did you feel lonely in your efforts and did teammates or owners pressure you to stop?
Yes, there was pressure and a sense of isolation at times, including passive- aggressive attempts to redirect focus, but there was also notable support from some players and athletes, showing the complexity of the response within the league.
Colin Kaepernick, Ten Years After Taking a Knee
Q: Colin, why did you decide to take a knee and what did you hope would come from it?
I wanted to address systemic racism and police violence against Black people, and I hoped the gesture would spark a broader national conversation about justice and accountability, not merely create controversy.
Sarah Longwell, a Former Republican, on “How to Eat an Elephant”
Q: What is a way that a Democrat could form a message on immigration that might appeal to swing voters without sacrificing their core principles?
Democrats should advocate for a secure border while presenting a humane, practical pathway for immigration that emphasizes safety and legality, supporting policies that keep families safe and reduce fear, without abandoning the openness that reflects American values.
