Not Just Politics Episode 84: Marc Palombo & M.A.C.

Join us in this episode as we sit down with Marc Palombo, the Executive Producer, and M.A.C., the Director of Playbox Productions’ debut show “1984,” which runs December 4–7 at Three Stories in partnership with the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust. We talk about the bold promo graphic and what they want people to take from it, how folks on both the left and right often misinterpret Orwell’s message, and what their creative vision looks like for this new Americanized adaptation. We get into how current events shaped their approach, whether “1984” can still feel fresh instead of cliche, how their own political perspectives show up in the work, and how their feelings about the book changed through the process of bringing this show to life.Ticket Link: playbox.ticketspice.com/1984

Not Just Politics Episode 82: Mónica Guzmán

Join us in this episode as we sit down with friend of the show Mónica Guzmán for a thoughtful conversation about polarization, trust, and the state of our democracy. We start with a powerful listener question about what we’re afraid of losing in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and reflect on how hard it can be to cut through media coverage to truly understand where we are as a country. We talk about whether polarization looks different now than it did three or four years ago, and discuss a recent Gallup poll covered by Ground News that shows trust in the media hitting a new low. We also explore how to share the bridge-building message with people who don’t believe in it, and where the line should be drawn between having curious conversations and protecting democracy when power is at stake.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
