Ep. 18 What is Wrong with Us? (w/ Tomos Lewis)

My friend Tomos Lewis joins me to discuss the election and it's relationship with journalism. A stranger in a strange land, this intrepid Welshman is in Wisconsin, trying to explain our presidential election to listeners of the BBC's Welsh service and of Monocle radio. You can keep up with Tom's goings on on Elon Musk's app X: https://x.com/tomosdlewis [https://x.com/tomosdlewis] As well as on Monocle Radio: https://monocle.com/radio/shows/the-monocle-daily/ [https://monocle.com/radio/shows/the-monocle-daily/] Welsh speakers can also see and hear his reporting on the BBC's Welsh Language Service.

Ep. 16 - Evan Osnos on the Forefront of Kamalalalogy

Russ covers the past two weeks of NYPS episodes + David Remnick's interview with Evan Osnos about Harris on the New Yorker Radio Hour. It had seemed that the NYPS hosts were sort of phoning it in these past couple of months, but they are finally back with some real humdingers. Did you know Kamala Harris was a Brahmin? As in, India's caste system. Find out that and more about Osnos' hagiography of Harris.

Ep. 15 - What is Lebanon? (w/ Dalal Mawad)

Russ has an in-depth conversation with his good friend, the Lebanese journalist Dalal Mawad. He also follows up on Ta Nehisi Coates' goings on, including an unhinged "interview" by CBS anchor Tony Dekoupil which you can watch in its entirety here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgWt-QcPYMo&ab_channel=CBSMornings [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgWt-QcPYMo&ab_channel=CBSMornings] But most importantly, Dalal and Russ get into Lebanon's political system, it's modern history and previous and present wars between Hezbollah and Israel. This is Dalal's recent article about martyred Hezbollah fighters and the mothers they leave behind: https://newlinesmag.com/spotlight/hezbollah-fighters-stories-as-told-by-their-mothers/ [https://newlinesmag.com/spotlight/hezbollah-fighters-stories-as-told-by-their-mothers/] Dalal's book on the 2020 Beirut blast and the toll it's taken on women. Dalal reads the audio book herself: https://www.amazon.com/All-She-Lost-Explosion-Collapse/dp/1399406256?asc_campaign=ded1ba29e9767f0f6b1bed48903c12c8&asc_source=01H1P39M5ZSG9J6WR6B1HBK9M0&tag=namespacebran492-20 [https://www.amazon.com/All-She-Lost-Explosion-Collapse/dp/1399406256?asc_campaign=ded1ba29e9767f0f6b1bed48903c12c8&asc_source=01H1P39M5ZSG9J6WR6B1HBK9M0&tag=namespacebran492-20] Follow Dalal on X: https://x.com/dalalmawad [https://x.com/dalalmawad] And on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dalalmawad/ [https://www.instagram.com/dalalmawad/]

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.
