NEWS COMMENTARY
“Truer, but also darker.” This is the real origin story behind America’s decision to go to the moon. The story we learn starts with Sputnik, then President Kennedy’s challenge, and ends with triumph: an American flag on the lunar surface. But in the 50 years that have passed since the moon landing, as presidential documents have been declassified and secret programs have been revealed, a wilder story has begun to emerge. “Moonrise,” a new Washington Post narrative mini-series, digs into the nuclear arms race of the Cold War, the transformation of American society and politics, and even the birth of science fiction, to unearth what really drove us to the moon. Join host Lillian Cunningham (of the Presidential and Constitutional podcasts) as she uncovers a story that has so much to reveal about America -- and about the dreams and nightmares of being human on this Earth.

HISTORY
The Washington Post’s Libby Casey, Rhonda Colvin and James Hohmann gather for a weekly in-depth conversation about politics and power. From presidential candidates to members of Congress to the judicial system, Sidebar dives deep on the topics and people at the forefront of the political conversation. The crew sits down each Thursday (with the occasional breaking news episode) to discuss what has happened that week, and what’s coming up the next week – with guest appearances from Washington Post reporters.

POLITICS
The Washington Post's Presidential podcast explores how each former American president reached office, made decisions, handled crises and redefined the role of commander-in-chief. It was released leading up to up to Election Day 2016, starting with George Washington in week one and ending on week 44 with the president-elect. New special episodes in the countdown to the 2020 presidential election highlight other stories from U.S. presidential history that can help illuminate our current moment.

This show is perfect for me. As a 40-year-old man with ADHD this is the first news medium I’ve been able to consistently keep up with. And it feels good to effortlessly be able to have intelligent conversation in different circles about world events and really know what I am talking about because of what I learn from this podcast. This was definitely built for people like me. Thank you.
Please don’t give in…

I’ve been an avid listener for a while. However, I was disappointed to hear Hannah Jewel refer to the Golf of Mexico as The Gold of America. We don’t own it and “he” can’t arbitrarily change it. If it was a joke, it landed badly. Please don’t give in to his foolishness.
Please be neutral
