NEWS COMMENTARY
The Washington Post's Presidential podcast explores how each former American president reached office, made decisions, handled crises and redefined the role of commander-in-chief. It was released leading up to up to Election Day 2016, starting with George Washington in week one and ending on week 44 with the president-elect. New special episodes in the countdown to the 2020 presidential election highlight other stories from U.S. presidential history that can help illuminate our current moment. Hosted by Lillian Cunningham, the series features Pulitzer Prize-winning biographers like David McCullough and Washington Post journalists like Bob Woodward.

SELF-IMPROVEMENT
“Truer, but also darker.” This is the real origin story behind America’s decision to go to the moon. The story we learn starts with Sputnik, then President Kennedy’s challenge, and ends with triumph: an American flag on the lunar surface. But in the 50 years that have passed since the moon landing, as presidential documents have been declassified and secret programs have been revealed, a wilder story has begun to emerge. “Moonrise,” a new Washington Post narrative mini-series, digs into the nuclear arms race of the Cold War, the transformation of American society and politics, and even the birth of science fiction, to unearth what really drove us to the moon. Join host Lillian Cunningham (of the Presidential and Constitutional podcasts) as she uncovers a story that has so much to reveal about America -- and about the dreams and nightmares of being human on this Earth.

Good podcast, disappointing VP debate episode

10/04/2024

I think all names are taken

I generally really enjoy this podcast and its rather lighthearted take on the election, but I am mostly rating because I was frustrated with the recent episode on the VP debate. The emphasis was on how Vance won on points, which I think we can all agree with, and Walz “stumbled” through his answers. However, your average voter is not a debate judge and is more concerned with the content. The fact that Vance’s answers were primarily lies, no matter how well presented, was not adequately addressed. I understand that debates are not judged on facts so much as your ability to argue your point, but this is not a debate contest, it is an election, and acknowledging when one side lies in order to win should not be overlooked.

This is the same song and dance as every other mainstream news which shouldn’t be a surprise based on who pushes this podcast.
