The New Yorker Political Scene Scene

Ep. 26 - In Absence of Jewish Chocolate w/ Sabri Sundos

I am joined by my friend Sabri for a wide-ranging conversation about his life in art, music, Palestine advocacy and a little bit of good old New Yorker Political Scene shenanigans.

Ep. 25 - Zohran's Victory w/ Gino Raidy

Russ talks to his pal and fellow soldier in Zohran's canvassing army Gino Raidy about Mamdani's big victory, what made it happen and what it means for the U.S. and for the world. Check out Gino's writing, videos and podcasts at his Substack Gino's Blog [https://ginoraidy.substack.com/] As well as on social media: https://www.instagram.com/ginoraidy [https://www.instagram.com/ginoraidy/?hl=en] https://x.com/GinoRaidy [https://x.com/GinoRaidy]

Ep. 24 - Talking Zohran with the "Was Tun?" Podcast

I was on the German podcast Was Tun? with Inken Behrmann and Valentin Ihßen talking about the Zohran campaign in the final stretch of the NYC mayor's race. It was such a great conversation I thought I'd post it here as well so you can all get your Russ fill while the getting is good. Check them out, especially if you sprechen sie Deutsch: https://linktr.ee/wastun?utm_source=linktree_profile_share [https://linktr.ee/wastun?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=4de3d3d2-a6a6-4eee-b640-b40526efc944] Enjoy!

Ep. 23 - Russia Russia Russia

Susan Glasser interviews her old pal Fiona Hill, who you might remember because she's the former national security official with an English accent who testified against Trump during his first impeachment trial. The New Yorker Political Scene appears to be on a summer hiatus, so they've apparently pre-recorded this and other interviews to roll out around their favorite subjects while Glasser, Evan Osnos and Jane Mayer soak up the sun at their respective beach homes.

Ep. 22 - How Zohran Won and What Happens Now?

Russ goes over how Zohran won and what happens now in the New York City mayors race
