  • Crucial listening

    Project Censored holds a place of honor in my saved folder. There’s a few episodes that I go back to over & over but the No State Solution with Mohammed Bamyeh is probably my most replayed podcast of the year. Thank you, Eleanor & Mickey & everyone involved. I appreciate you all

  • Ray of Hope. Mischa’s voice rocks.

    It’s vital to have access to press and news sources that are not owned by the establishment, corporations, or government. If I could change one thing, it would be the theme music. When listening to news, I prefer a calm, bombastic-free energy. Leave the jacked-up approach to CNN and FOX. P.S. Also, when the word “The” is in the podcast title, guess what happens in the sort. Needle in a haystack. Stand out, just use “Project Censored Official”. In closing, I LOVE the music breaks. Wow. IT’S TIME ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lula’s Win in Brazil
Q: Could you talk a little bit about what happened here specifically in the digital sphere?
She says Meta platforms restricted or removed some pro-Lula content while algorithms amplified right-wing material. She connects these practices to broader concerns about election interference and regulation of social media companies.
Lula’s Win in Brazil
Q: Could you give us a brief post-op of the election?
Sanchez-Garzoli describes Lula's victory as a major win for the Latin American left, crediting voter mobilization and online efforts against disinformation. She also notes that authorities extended voting hours after transport disruptions impeded access to polling stations.
What’s Happening to the US Economy?
Q: Is the AI bubble going to burst and then are we going to see another 2008, but worse?
Norton says the AI bubble is real, but a resulting crisis would differ from 2008. He highlights risky private-credit lending and the exposure of retirement savings to concentrated tech stocks, alongside the economy's dependence on AI investment.
What’s Happening to the US Economy?
Q: Is this a story of gold or simply the gravity of capitalism and a failing empire? Both or something else?
Norton rejects the end of the gold standard as the main cause of stagnant wages. He points to neoliberal policies, weakening unions, outsourcing, deindustrialization and financialization, while noting that the gold standard could worsen economic downturns through deflation.
The Difference Between Local and Independent Media: From Baltimore To Palestine
Q: And I was wondering how you and LBS work within Black communities to really target that and say like, hey, what they told you about you, about your history is wrong.
Grandpre says organizing must begin with the institutions Black communities already value and offer a more substantial investment than the limited patronage available through mainstream politics. He describes connecting concrete policy proposals, including reparations funding, to community institutions and self-determination.
