    A Listener Named Steve on What Journalists Should do Better

    A KCRW listener weighed in with some criticism on Substack. Brian (our host) got involved. Some advice for journalists ensued. It ended up inspiring an entire segment on KCRW’s show Left, Right & Center, which we’re sharing with you here. This is the kind of action that’s happening over on our new Substack – which you should subscribe to! If you do, we’ll enter you in a lottery to join us at the next taping we do at Bibber & Bell Wine Shop in Brooklyn. We’re getting together reporters there in a couple weeks who are all covering the Jeffrey Epstein story as it has burst back into the news and is threatening Donald Trump.

    Brian Can't Stop Fact-checking His Mother-In-Law (from “Proxy with Yowei Shaw”)

    After her NPR show was canceled some years back, producer and host Yowei Shaw gave herself a new title: “Emotional Investigative Journalist.” She started a podcast called Proxy, where she helps people who are facing unique emotional or personal obstacles by connecting them with a proxy who’s uniquely positioned to help them. Our host, Brian, recently went on Proxy, and got help with a problem of his own: something he’s been struggling with involving a member of his family. Here are the caregiving resources from Claudia Drossel. Listen to Proxy with Yowei Shaw. Follow them on Instagram: @proxypodcast @yoweishaw Learn more about your ad choices.

    Who’s Behind the Raids? A Mystery in Marion (Part Two)

    A TV reporter from Kansas City hears about the brazen newspaper raids over in Marion. Her interest is piqued by the fact that the police chief who oversaw the raids had recently left Kansas City PD. So she heads to Marion to see what she can find out. And what she finds…is basically a Bravo reality series, small-town prairie style.  Part One of this story ran last week. Listen to it first if you haven’t already. Also: We’re now on Substack! You can weigh in on what we’re doing at Question Everything – make your pleasure or displeasure known – and talk to us about our reporting, the stories we’re working on.

    Who's Behind the Raids? A Mystery in Marion (Part One)

    On a Friday morning in rural Kansas, the publisher of a tiny local newspaper hears a knock at the door. It’s the police—with a search warrant. Within minutes, they’re inside his home, seizing his electronics. At the same time, officers are raiding his newsroom, confiscating computers and phones. No subpoena. No warning. And, according to legal experts, no right to do it. The publisher scrambles to understand: Why is this happening? Who’s behind it? He has made some enemies over the years, in this town of just 2,000 people.  And then—just as he starts to piece it together—something even more devastating happens. A tragedy that would make national news, and change his life forever. Part Two of this story drops next week.

    From the Fringe Web to Real Life: How Seriously Should We Be Taking Conspiracy Theories?

    Back in December, we did an episode about Pyrra, an AI-powered software that tracks sifts through the far corners of the internet – in some places you probably haven’t even heard of – to see what narratives are emerging from the people who post there. A lot of these are conspiracy theories, and also violent threats. This week, we check back in with the creator of that software, Dr. Welton Chang, about what narratives he’s seeing, right now, that might soon make the jump from fringe shitposts to actually having an impact in the real world.  Welton’s especially worried about the violent rhetoric aimed at one particular group of people, which has been topping the charts in recent weeks. Welton is the creator of Pyrra Technologies, and Vice President for Digital Intelligence Solutions at AlertMedia.  A listener asked us to clarify that the Romanian presidential elections we refer to in the beginning of this episode are first-round elections, meaning the winning candidate still had to win another round before becoming president.
