    NEW Seasonal Series - Story Not Sorry "My Soul Doth Magnify The Lord" - Ben Jackson

    Friends, we took a little break, as you may have noticed. We used the downtime to put together something special: we asked writers to submit their very best writing on the theme "finding meaning in a time of strife." The submissions were overwhelming, and for the next twelve weeks or so, you'll get to hear some of the best of them. To introduce the series, Alyssa and Ben share one of Ben's own essays: "My Soul Doth Magnify The Lord." This essay won the Emerson College Graduate Writing Award in Nonfiction with High Distinction. It grapples with faith, history, evil, and, of course, music.

    White Nationalism in the White House: Katie McHugh Kept Receipts

    Katie McHugh is a former white nationalist who renounced those views and is working hard to undo the damage she did when she held them. She is a former writer for alt-right propaganda websites The Daily Caller and Breitbart, where she was in constant correspondence with Stephen Miller, now a key aide to Donald Trump. In conjunction with the Southern Poverty Law Center, Katie exposed those emails and the deep ties of Miller and others to the white nationalist movement in America. In this sobering episode, Alyssa Milano is joined by guest co-host Hassan Ahmad. Hassan is an immigration attorney and anti-white nationalist activist who is suing to expose the papers of eugenicist and FAIR founder John Tanton, currently sequestered at the University of Michigan. Alyssa, Hassan, and Katie delve into the white nationalist movement, the ways young people are recruited into white nationalist organizations, and the depth of this abhorrent philosophy in our government and right-wing media.

    Tim Alberta on Evangelical Voters

    Evangelical voters have been a key constituency for the GOP for decades. But as that party veers to Trumpism and extremism, often with words and actions that fly in the face of their faith, will evangelicals stay with them? This week, we’re joined by Tim Alberta. Tim is a staff writer for The Atlantic whose new book “The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in the Age of Extremism” is now available.

    At Your Cervix: A'magine Goddard on Nonconsensual Pelvic Exams on Anesthetized Patients

    I like to think we’re living in a more consent-aware world than we used to be. We speak about the sexual ideal of enthusiastic consent required before engaging in sexual acts. And yet, recent research demonstrates that in the medical community, what happens with our bodies is often far outside that consent, with almost 90% of medical students being asked to perform pelvic examinations on patients under anesthesia. Our guest this week, A’magine Goddard, is a filmmaker whose new documentary “At Your Cervix” examines how this happens and the effects of these exams. And listeners, be aware that this episode contains frank discussions of these non-consensual examinations.

    Fascism and Trump's Own Words - Part 1

    Is Trump a fascist? Is MAGA a fascist movement? Give a listen to the first half of this two-parter and decide for yourself. In the 1990s, Umberto Eco published the essay "Ur-Fascism," which explored fourteen common points of fascist movements and governments. In this episode, we present the first seven of those characteristics and then present Trump's own words, along with excerpts from the 2024 Republican Platform and words of prominent Trump supporters and administration members.

    Heidi Przybyla on The Federalist Society, Leonard Leo, and our Courts

    The Federalist Society has emerged as a far right powerhouse reshaping the American judiciary. Many of the Supreme Court’s most controversial decisions use information from Amicus Briefs provided by the Federalist Society or related organizations—briefs which may contain fundamentally inaccurate information. Heidi Przybyla is POLITICO’s award-wining national investigative correspondent and a veteran Washington journalist who regularly breaks exclusive reporting on the White House, Congress, presidential and congressional elections and, most recently, the Supreme Court and state of democracy at home. She joins us to discuss her reporting.

    Trump, Immigrants, and Grocery Prices with Alice Driver

    Recently, Nobel-prize winning economist Paul Krugman warned that Trump's deportation policies could crush the economy, bringing more pain than his thoughtless tariffs. Last year, we spoke with Alice Driver, an investigative reporter whose book "Life and Death of the American Worker" chronicles the labor conditions and importance of those immigrants-and what could happen to our food system if they are no longer here doing this work.

    Jamie Manson of Catholics for Choice on the Dobbs Anniversary

    This week marks a year since the Supreme Court's immoral and dangerous Dobbs decision. Unless you’ve been hiding with your head in the sand, you know that abortion rights are under threat in the United States, where many people now have little or no access to abortion healthcare. The Catholic Church has been a driving force in that charge to deny women and pregnant people the right to control our own reproduction—but there are those within the church fighting to change that. To discuss, we’ve invited Jamie Manson onto the show. Jamie is an internationally-known columnist for the National Catholic Reporter and President of Catholics for Choice.

  13. Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein

    28/07/2025

    Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein

    In recent weeks, Jeffrey Epstein has burst from the grave and back into the news. Trump made much of his campaign identity about releasing the Epstein files and promised to release them–a promise on which he has since reneged. Trump had a longstanding friendship with Epstein, and recent reporting from the Wall Street Journal claims that Trump wrote Epstein a letter for his 50th birthday depicting a naked woman and wishing for more “Magical Secrets.” In this episode, we will her interviews and testimony from women–some who were girls–who have accused Donald Trump of sexual assault or other sexual misconduct–in their own words. It will not be easy to hear, and while the story will certainly continue to evolve, even between the time I am recording this and you are hearing it, the words of these brave women endure to paint a damning picture.

    The Rural Voter with Nick Jacobs and Dan Shea

    The Democratic Party used to view the rural voter as part of its base. That’s shifted, with many attributing the shift to social, religious, and racial beliefs. Our guests today argue that the reasons are quite different from what we believe. Nick Jacobs and Dan Shea are professors of government at Colby College and the authors of The Rural Voter: The Politics of Place and the Disuniting of America.

    Kristin Song on Ethan's Law: A common-sense, life-saving idea for gun safety

    We hear about mass shootings all of the time. They dominate our news for a couple of days, and then we move on, doing nothing. Sometimes, in our local news, we might hear about a local shooting which kills one or two or three people. But what we rarely hear about is the constant background of gun violence that takes place in our country every day when about 120 people die from gunshot wounds, and about 200 are shot and survive. People like Ethan Song, a teenager who was accidentally shot and killed when a gun was discovered in a cardboard box at a friend’s house. Ethan’s mother Kristin is fighting to make sure no other family experiences her heartbreak, and she joins us today.

    Who Owns Your Face? AI, Extremism, and Facial Recognition with Kashmir Hill

    We live in a time where technology is advancing faster than our ability to regulate and culturally adapt to it—and sometimes that results in truly terrifying realities. Our guest this week is Kashmir Hill. Kashmir is a tech reporter at the New York Times. She digs into the intersection of facial recognition, Artificial Intelligence, unfettered capitalism, and privacy rights in her new book Your Face Belongs To Us: A Secretive Startup's Quest to End Privacy as We Know It, which is now available at bookstores everywhere.

    Andre Perry on Black Power Scorecard

    The early part of this decade seemed like it might signify a realignment of the social and cultural power of Black Americans. But the realities of that power–and how it translates into meaningful justice and social change–are less clear, and perhaps less optimistic. Especially now in the second Trump era, where everything which does not perpetuate white power is treated as suspect and anti-American. To discuss the shifting dynamics and a path forward to meaningful change, we’ve asked Andre Perry onto the show. Andre is a senior fellow and director of the Center for Community Uplift at the Brookings Institution and a professor of practice of economics at Washington University in St. Louis. He is also nationally known and respected commentator on race, structural inequality, and education and the author of the new book “Black Power Scorecard: Measuring the Racial Gap and What We Can Do to Close It.”

  20. An Alternative to the Congressional Chaos

    An Alternative to the Congressional Chaos

    The Republican Party is in chaos. The far-right GOP in the House of Representatives is at the mercy of the extreme right GOP in the House. Matt Gaetz and a handful of GOP extremists ousted Speaker Kevin McCarthy and holds the entire government hostage. It doesn’t have to be this way. Over the years, we’ve had a number of Democratic members of the House on the show. Today, we’ll revisit just a few of those interviews and show the possibility of what could be, if we oust the chaos-makers in the GOP and elect a competent Democratic majority with vision and commitment. Includes interviews with Congressmembers Veronica Escobar, Barbara Lee, Adam Schiff, Ro Khanna, and Hank Johnson.
