    Andrea Bernstein introduces Dead End: A New Jersey Political Murder Mystery

    Andrea Bernstein introduces Dead End: A New Jersey Political Murder Mystery

    Andrea Bernstein introduces WNYC colleague Nancy Solomon's new podcast: Dead End: A New Jersey Political Murder Mystery.

The mystery surrounding the crime sends their son on a quest for truth. Dead End is a story of crime and corruption at the highest levels of society in the Garden State.

    Introducing Will Be Wild

    Andrea Bernstein introduces Will Be Wild, a new 8-part series about the forces that led to the January 6th insurrection and what comes next. Through in-depth stories from a wide range of characters – from people who tried to stop the attack to those who took part – hosts Andrea Bernstein and Ilya Marritz explore the ongoing effort to bring autocracy to America, the lasting damage that effort is doing to our democracy, and the fate of our attempts to combat those anti-democratic forces. Because January 6th wasn't the end of the story, January 6th was just a practice run.

One of the best

These guys have produced a deep dive into how Trump has corrupted the position of USA President. As someone from outside of the USA the reports have been detailed but understandable. Also the depth of insight is magnificent. I will miss this podcast.
I plan to listen back to the earlier episodes again.

WOW

I can’t believe it’s taken until AFTER the election to find this fabulous podcast, but i’m going to go back to the start and savour each episode - great content from articulate hosts, fascinating guests and great production, and the election War Games episode will blow your mind!!
