OVERTIME: Democrats, Stop Getting in Your Own Way

OVERTIME: Democrats, Stop Getting in Your Own Way

With Kristin away this week, Steve flies solo on Overtime. He shares his perspective on Wisconsin's Democratic gubernatorial race, why he believes the party is creating unnecessary chaos, and how its messaging could be costing it support among independent voters. Agree or disagree, it's a candid look at campaign strategy from the other side of the aisle.

OVERTIME: The Death of Expertise

Steve and Kristin ask a big question: are we living through the "death of expertise?" Inspired by a conversation from Point Taken, they discuss why audiences increasingly trust influencers and personalities over experts, what that means for politics, science, and media, and whether we've become too comfortable surrounding ourselves with voices that simply reinforce our own beliefs. Along the way, the conversation becomes unexpectedly personal, touching on imposter syndrome, masculinity, intellectual humility, and why admitting you're wrong may be one of the hardest—and most important—things we can do.

OVERTIME: Reflections on America 250

Point Taken contributors Bill McCoshen and Joe Zepecki joined Kristin Brey and Steve Scaffidi for a special hour reflecting on America's 250th as the nation celebrates over the July 4th Independence Day weekend. Covering 250 years of our nation's tumultuous political history, with a nod to our nation's founders and our first President George Washington, they explore where we've been, challenges to our democracy in the struggles over slavery, fighting world wars, and even immigration policy,  and share their own thoughts on our country's future.

OVERTIME: John Cena Proves Even Macho Men Can Be Vulnerable

Pete Davidson's emotional conversation with John Cena about his Make-A-Wish work sparked a much bigger discussion than either Steve or Kristin expected. They talk about masculinity, vulnerability, fatherhood, and why some of the most meaningful conversations can happen in the most unexpected places. Kristin challenges Steve on how men communicate with one another, while Steve reflects on how raising two daughters has shaped his emotional perspective. It's one of the more personal episodes of Overtime yet.

OVERTIME: What will America's next 250 years look like?

As the United States approaches its 250th birthday, Steve and Kristin take a step back and ask a big question: where is the country headed? Steve reflects on experiencing the bicentennial in 1976 and how dramatically America has changed in the 50 years since. Kristin explores the generational divide around patriotism and whether younger Americans connect with the country differently than previous generations. They also tackle listener questions about Summerfest, ancestry, marriage, and more in another edition of Ask Us Anything. A thoughtful, optimistic, and occasionally existential episode of Overtime.
