    Finding the Line Between Celebrity and Politician With Tressie McMillan Cottom

    The sociologist and New York Times columnist Tressie McMillan Cottom joins the hosts this week to discuss the role of celebrity in politics. Could Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, with their tens of millions of fans, sway the presidential election? And beyond brand-name pop stars, what role does celebrity play within the political system?

    Plus, Tressie goes a little “Dr. Oz” on us.

    Texts From the Swamp

    Texts From the Swamp

    It can often feel as if politicians use a lot of words without saying much of anything. So how do journalists and citizens make sense of what’s said (and unsaid) in the many congressional reports, court decisions and campaign memoirs that pour out of Washington?

    This week on “Matter of Opinion,” Carlos Lozada makes the case for reading the Capitol, and uses insights from his new book, “The Washington Book,” to help his co-hosts decode everyone from Donald Trump to Mike Pence to Barack Obama.

    The Election of Our Discontent

    The Election of Our Discontent

    Many voters from both parties are less than enthusiastic about their likely options this November.

    This week the Opinion writer and editor Katherine Miller joins Michelle, Lydia and Carlos to talk about uncommitted voters, double haters and how they could affect the election, whether they turn out or not.

    Plus, Lydia makes a plea against the tyranny of clean lines and interior design monoculture.

    Trump 2.0: ‘A Blueprint for Retribution’

    Trump 2.0: ‘A Blueprint for Retribution’

    Could Donald Trump’s promise to be a dictator on day one come true?

    On this episode of “Matter of Opinion,” the hosts debate which policies could be most consequential in a potential second Trump term and whether a proposal set out by conservative allies could provide the tools to execute his vision.

    And Michelle Cottle shares her passion for a trend that can only be achieved with lots of volume.

    The Pro-Life Movement Had a Plan Post-Roe. The G.O.P. Didn’t.

    The Pro-Life Movement Had a Plan Post-Roe. The G.O.P. Didn’t.

    When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, the Republican Party declared victory.

    But the Alabama Supreme Court’s decision last month that frozen embryos are considered “extrauterine children,” which prompted hospitals to suspend I.V.F. procedures, has complicated that victory. Given Americans’ overwhelming support for in vitro fertilization, conservative politicians have tried to distance themselves from the ruling.

    This week on “Matter of Opinion,” the hosts discuss that political scramble and ask whether the Republicans have made up their minds over what it means to be “pro-life.” The hosts also consider how much public opinion should influence the decisions of lawmakers and judges, and where the debate over reproductive rights is headed.

    Plus, listeners weigh in on how much the economy is going to affect their vote.

Olympics?!

Just listened to the Super Bowl episode. I am sure I was one of many to be listening while scratching my head, and wondering why the Olympics was not mentioned as a mass cultural event that crosses over politics.

Great Show

I very much enjoy this show. The title is also smart, because you don’t necessarily have to do a show about news if there is nothing outstanding from the previous week to discuss!
