    Peppermint: Visibility Isn't Enough When Action is Required

    She made history as the first out transgender woman on RuPaul's Drag Race and the first to originate a principal role on Broadway and she's never let success quiet her voice. This week, 2026 NYC Pride Grand Marshal Peppermint joins us for a candid conversation about what visibility really costs, why queer people must reclaim their own histories before they're erased, and why she believes joy itself can be an act of resistance. As anti-LGBTQ+ legislation surges across the country, Peppermint makes the case that being seen is only the beginning, now is the moment for action. Got a hot take?

    Senator Doug Jones: I Prefer My Men From Alabama

    Former U.S. Senator Doug Jones joins us for a second time, but this time fresh off his decisive Democratic primary win to talk about where Alabama goes from here. We dig into the turnout surge that doubled Democratic votes, how he plans to unify the party and win statewide, and the Supreme Court's gutting of the Voting Rights Act in the wake of Callais and what a governor can actually do about it. We also get into the healthcare crisis, the fight over unregulated data center growth, and his strategy for reaching young voters. Plus audience-submitted questions and one final question: what is Doug Jones not wrong about? Got a hot take? Think you’re not wrong about something? I want to hear it.

    Marti Cummings: Gay Republicans Need to Learn Their History

    Happy Pride Month. We’re kicking off June with someone who has built a career that refuses to separate the stage from the fight. Drag artist, comedian, producer, Guinness World Record holder, two-time GLAAD nominee, Out 100 honoree, GLAM Entertainer of the Year, four-time City & State Pride Power 100 recipient, and 2025 NYC Pride Grand Marshal Marti Gould Cummings joins us to talk about the city that made them, the history our community can’t afford to forget, and the local and national work they’re doing to ensure queer people have the space to be heard and represented. We get into all of it. We go deep on LGBTQ history, from Stonewall to the fragility of the rights we have today. We make the case directly to gay conservatives who believe the government isn’t coming for them. And we talk about the importance of local power. Marti founded the Hell's Kitchen Democrats, serves on the New York State Democratic Committee, has spoken at the United Nations, and explains what it’s actually like to fight for your community from the inside out. This one is for anyone who still thinks their rights are guaranteed. Got a hot take? Think you’re not wrong about something? I want to hear it.

In this episode, we're joined by Imani Gandy and Jessica Pieklo, Executive Producers at Rewire News Group and co-hosts of the legal podcast Boom! Lawyered, to break down the most consequential SCOTUS term in recent memory. We're covering the latest in the mifepristone battle, the growing legal threats to birthright citizenship, and what Louisiana v. Callais means for the future of voting rights in this country. Imani and Jessica connect the dots on how these cases intersect and what's really at stake for reproductive rights, democracy, and equal protection under the law.  Got a hot take?

    Scott Solomon: Will Going to Mars Change What it Means to be Human?

    What if going to Mars changes what it means to be human? We've spent decades asking whether we can get to Mars. But evolutionary biologist Scott Solomon wants to ask a different question: what happens to us once we stay? In this episode, I sit down with Scott, a faculty member at Rice University and author of Becoming Martian: Our Future Beyond Earth (MIT Press), to explore the science of what a permanent human presence on Mars would actually look like. Not the rockets. Not the politics. The biology. We talk about the rovers already crawling across the Martian surface and what they've discovered, the unanswered questions about whether humans can even reproduce in space, and what the NASA Twins Study revealed about what deep space does to the human body at a genetic level. Scott Kelly spent a year in orbit while his identical twin stayed on Earth. What they found changes everything. We get into it all: will babies be born via c-section only, bodily changes, that children born on Mars may never be able to visit Earth. And we wrestle with the biggest question underneath all of it. Are we rushing toward a future we're not ready for? Scott is one of those rare scientists who can make you feel the weight of deep time and the excitement of what's coming in the same breath. I hope that this one will change how you think about how fast we are trying to get to Mars. Got a hot take? Think you’re not wrong about something? I want to hear it.

    Khiara Bridges: You Can’t Buy Your Way Out of Dying in Childbirth

    In this episode of He’s Not Wrong, we’re joined by Khiara M. Bridges, author of Expecting Inequity, to unpack why Black women are still dying at alarming rates during pregnancy and childbirth regardless of income, education, or insurance. We connect the national maternal health crisis to Alabama’s devastating outcomes, healthcare segregation, Medicaid policy, and the rollback of voting rights and civil protections. Our conversation makes clear that maternal mortality is not a medical mystery, it’s the predictable result of political and structural decisions. Got a hot take?

    Sami Sage: BETCH, WHAT THE F**K IS GOING ON

    Sami Sage has been telling women the truth, about politics, pop culture, and everything in between, since 2011, when she and two college friends started an anonymous blog in a Cornell apartment. That blog became Betches Media, one of the most influential women's media brands on the internet, and Sami became one of the most recognizable voices in news and political commentary for millennial and Gen Z women. In this episode, we sit down with the co-founder and Chief Brand Officer of Betches Media, host of the award-winning daily news podcast Morning Announcements, co-host of American Fever Dream with V. Spehar, and NYT bestselling author of Democracy in Retrograde. We get into all of it, how Betches went from a WordPress blog to a $24 million acquisition, why she pushed one of the internet's funniest brands into politics, and what it actually takes to wake up every single morning and make sense of the chaos for millions of people who are counting on you. We also dig into her book, Democracy in Retrograde, co-written with former Senate counsel Emily Amick, and what civic engagement looks like right now, in a political moment that has tested even the most engaged among us. Plus, we get into the news stories that she has covered extensively: the Trump and the US-Iran conflict, Eric Swalwell and the Democratic media ecosystem.  Got a hot take?

    Dr. Demetre Daskalakis: Gold Standard Science Is Dead at the CDC

    Dr. Demetre Daskalakis spent five years at the highest levels of the CDC leading HIV prevention, running the White House mpox response, and eventually directing the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, the division responsible for the entire country's vaccine policy. He watched RFK Jr. take over the Department of Health and Human Services and begin dismantling the scientific infrastructure of one of the most respected public health institutions in the world. He stayed as long as he could. When he hit his line in the sand, he walked out and said publicly what most people inside were too afraid to say - that the CDC you knew is over, that his former colleagues are hostages, and that the nation's health security is in the hands of people driven by ideology instead of evidence. Today he is here to tell the full story from his early days testing men for HIV in New York City bathhouses, to the halls of the CDC, to the moment he decided enough was enough. This is the inside account of how American public health was broken on purpose, and what it means for every single one of us. Got a hot take? Think you’re not wrong about something?
