What Could Go Right?
What if instead of being on the brink of disaster, we’re on the cusp of a better world? No one can deny the challenges the world faces, from pandemics to climate change to authoritarianism. But pessimism and despair are too easy a response. Each week, Progress Network Founder Zachary Karabell and Executive Director Emma Varvaloucas convene a diverse panel of experts to discuss the central issues of our era, including sustainability, polarization, work, and the economy, and make the case for a brighter future. They emerge from their conversations with a counterintuitive but informed take: progress is on its way.

Your newest episode starts out claiming Harris lost the election because America is racist and misogynist. Seriously? Every episode I have listened to a tempered analysis, finding truth in the hyperbole. But this episode the content creators revealed themselves as unserious. This is the epitome of why the election went the way it did: a refusal to deal in reality and a focus on charactering other people in hateful and untrue ways. Then, you allow your guest to go on to justify cutting others out of their lives because an election did not go the way they wanted… come on. Unserious. Unprofessional. I am sad to unsubscribe having found this podcast in the wake of October 7th and appreciating what, for many topics, is a more balanced approach. But the revelation that this is just another misguided and elitist group of people who are out of touch with reality has led to me to seek other, more truthful sources of commentary.

I really enjoy this podcast because it moves past the fashion of oversimplification, needless over complication, cynicism, and tribalism. I also deeply appreciate that the hosts are not Pollyannas.
Fake podcast

I was intrigued by the title, thinking it is a positive podcast that would be void of political content. I could not be more weong and more misled. The TDS emerged sooner than expected in topics not related to politics at all, and the duo could not hide their left wing talking points with quintessential left wing propaganda terms like “right wing hysteria”, “conspiracy theories”, etc. Don’t fall for this fake podcast that pretends to be non political, but is anything but. It is no different than the typical left wing boring repetitive trash.
