  1. The Corporate Landlord Tied to Israeli Bombs and US Evictions w/ Thomas Birmingham | The Nation Podcast

    The Corporate Landlord Tied to Israeli Bombs and US Evictions w/ Thomas Birmingham | The Nation Podcast

    On one side of the world, a major corporate landlord is evicting tenants by jacking up rents by hundreds of dollars. On the other, its parent company is linked to Israeli bombs, genocide, and illegal settlements. This is the multibillion-dollar story of American Landmark — one of the country’s most eviction-happy landlords — and Elco, a corporate powerhouse whose subsidiaries are tied to the Israeli military and far-right settler movements. It’s even been cited by the UN for facilitating human rights violations. Thomas Birmingham spent months meeting the families at the mercy of American Landmark, interrogating the corporate landlords profiting off them, and examining the connection between one kind of displacement here in America and another thousands of miles away, in the West Bank and Gaza. His feature, "The Eviction Kings," is in the December issue of The Nation.

  2. The Rise of the Far Right in Europe w/ David Broder | The Time of Monsters with Jeet Heer

    The Rise of the Far Right in Europe w/ David Broder | The Time of Monsters with Jeet Heer

    Only a few years ago, European elites were patting themselves on the back for fending off the tide of right-wing anti-system parties (often styled as populists). But recent polls in France, Germany and the United Kingdom show that that the far right is once again gaining traction, thanks in no small part centrist governments that have demoralized the population and legitimized xenophobia. David Broder, author of Mussolini’s Grandchildren and European editor of Jacobin, wrote a wide-ranging essay on this for The New York Times. I spoke to David about both the dismal decisions of mainstream parties and also possible alternatives.

    Liberal Philanthropy and the Fight for Democracy w/ David Callahan | The Nation Podcast

    It’s no surprise that liberal philanthropy — a longtime pillar of the Democratic establishment — has become one of the Trump administration’s latest targets. As David Callahan writes in our December issue, liberal foundations “have often been depicted as the great puppet masters of the left, bankrolling and directing a who’s who of progressive groups intent on destroying the American way of life.” In other words, catnip for MAGA madness. But as Callahan points out, the reality of how these institutions operate is far from radical. As powerbrokers of the elite, liberal philanthropists are averse to challenging “the systems that spawned them.” How have liberal foundations failed to mobilize working-class Americans? And how can they ramp up the fight to defend the democracy they claim to care so much about saving? Joining us to discuss this is David Callahan, founder and editor of Inside Philanthropy, and author of The Givers: Wealth, Power and Philanthropy in a New Gilded Age.
