  • 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.

  • M Romer interview

    Sad to hear the Romer interview -- seems we will die of politeness -- she has a forceful, overconfident voice filled with amateur political philosophy and facile answers all of which need to be challenged at every turn. "we see voters responding to..." concepts that are last on the list of possible solutions -- to our immediate, collective peril.

  • Today’s interview and recent others

    Remnick sounds like a tired cranky old man who is resistant to changing norms. He interrupts, uses phrases like “but don’t you think” to discount others ideas. I came here to learn about the DSA, not to hear a constant negation of it.

    I’ve listened to him for years and only recently have I noticed him speak this way to his guests.

  • Love this show

    Recent immigration discussion with reps Salazar and Crow was interesting.

    That Salazar sees Trump as a successful businessman and was melting because she told him to give her a kiss and he did just proves right there how misguided the GOP is. She’s against birthright citizenship yet she and her entire constituency are either birthright citizens or immigrants. She actually said Trump can be like Lincoln on immigration, because Lincoln convinced the north to side with the south??? how did she... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sam Smith on Their New Album, “Hazel Eyes”
Q: Unholy was a turning point; did its success give you permission to make Hazel Eyes bigger and weirder in a good way?
Smith explains that Unholy did not grant permission from others, but gave them personal confidence to follow their artistic instincts and express more shades of themselves.
Sam Smith on Their New Album, “Hazel Eyes”
Q: So take me back. I know that you grew up singing around the house and with your parents. But what was the moment when you realized that it wasn't just your parents being nice, that you actually had a good voice?
Smith recalls early performance experiences, the pressure and joy of performing, and how initial self-criticism evolved into a confident sense of voice over time.
A Democrat and a Republican in Congress on the Blowback from Mass Detention
Q: What is your sense of the biggest roadblocks to the Dignity Act right now?
Lack of understanding and foresight within the White House and the broader party, plus the need to persuade swing voters—particularly the Hispanics who are a growing minority—that immigration reform is both fair and beneficial.
A Democrat and a Republican in Congress on the Blowback from Mass Detention
Q: Where do you think the president has erred in immigration policy?
Enforcement was expanded to areas that did not require it and neglected those with real safety concerns, while the policy failed to communicate a clear, humane alternative that could win broad support.
How Socialist Is the D.S.A.? Megan Romer Explains
Q: What does democracy in the workplace mean within DSA's framework?
It means workers collectively decide with their coworkers what demands to make, their schedules, and their working environment, akin to union decision-making.
