    Inside Elon's Twitter Takeover with Ryan Mac and Kate Conger

    Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter was an unmitigated catastrophe on multiple fronts, but it’s hard to ignore how it ultimately became a powerful tool in helping Donald Trump get elected. Was this Musk's plan all along back in 2022, or just another example of his infantile, buffoonish behavior with no real consequences? In this episode, recorded before the election, Adam sits down with New York Times technology reporters Kate Conger and Ryan Mac, authors of Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter, to explore Musk's disastrous acquisition and its unexpected role in shaping American politics.

    How Trump Will Transform America Forever with Jamelle Bouie

    This week’s election was a decisive win for Donald Trump. While it was once reasonable to view this racist, sexist, plutocratic, transphobic, and criminal as an outlier in American politics, it’s time to face the reality that he is American politics. In this special episode, Adam sits down with journalist Jamelle Bouie to discuss the sweeping changes a second Trump presidency will likely bring to the American political system—and how those changes will shape our lives for years to come.

    If the Economy is Good, Why Do We Feel So Bad? with Kyla Scanlon

    On paper, the economy is doing great—the stock market is strong, unemployment is low, and inflation has dropped significantly. So why does it still feel like everything is awful? Economic commentator Kyla Scanlon coined the term "vibecession" to describe this very disconnect. This week, Adam sits down with Kyla to talk about the vibecession, why the basics of economics can be so hard for most people to understand, and her new book, In This Economy?: How Money & Markets Really Work.

    Our Politicians Are Too F*%#ing Old with Jake Grumbach

    Why are so many of our politicians so old? While age can bring wisdom and experience, it can also result in leaders who are out of touch with their constituents or simply no longer effective at their job. This problem has a name: the gerontocracy. This week, Adam sits down with UC Berkeley associate professor Jake Grumbach to discuss why American politicians seem to really start their careers when they reach retirement age, and explore the other issues with our democracy that stem from the same problem.
