Podcast appearances and mentions of David Callahan

In this episode of the ‘All Things Endurance' Podcast, host Rick Prince chats with David Callahan, Co-CEO of Ultrasignup. As the leading event registration platform for ultrarunning events, David has a unique perspective on the state and growth of ultrarunning. Some of the topics that Rick and David discuss are:1.       Could you tell our listeners a little more about your background, both professionally and athletically?2.       The popularity of ultrarunning is through the roof, what are some of the key factors that you believe are driving this popularity?3.       Within the sport of ultrarunning and based on Ultrasignup's data, are there specific distances that are seeing above average growth?4.       Where do you see the sport of ultrarunning over the next 5-10 years?5.       Athletes within sports like gravel racing and climbing often resent the result of their sports becoming more popular and mainstream – do you think this is, or will be the case with ultrarunning?6.       In the same vein as the prior question, popularity often comes with large organizations looking to purchase events. Is there a concern amongst the ultra community that the acquired events will lose their identity? 7.       For someone that is looking to get into ultrarunning, do you have any advice in regard to what type of ultra to choose as their first ultra event?8.       We often hear from our ultra coaches that running ultra's are addictive. While it's also true of road running, it seems to be more the case with ultra's – why do you think this is?Where do you see ultrasignup in the coming years? 

In this special episode, Megyn Kelly takes a deep dive into the ground game of the GOP and the Democrats in the key swing states ahead of the November election. She's joined by Scott Presler, Founder of Early Vote Action, to talk about the innovative strategies the GOP is employing in Pennsylvania to mobilize voters, how the Republican Party is actively courting truckers, Amish voters, and hunters, the challenge of making sure newly-registered voters actually cast a vote on Election Day, how people in blue states can help GOP get out the vote efforts in swing states, the challenges in the important state of North Carolina, and more. Then David Callahan, founder of Blue Tent, joins to discuss the details of the Democratic ground game, how it compares to what the GOP is doing now in 2024, the mystery of the GOP efforts that we won't know until Election Day, how the swap from Biden to Harris has helped registration on the left, the truth about ballot harvesting, and more.Presler- https://earlyvoteaction.com/Callahan- https://www.bluetent.usBirch Gold: Text MEGYN to 989898 and get your free info kit on goldHungryroot: Go to https://Hungryroot.com/megyn to get 40% off your first delivery and get your free veggies.

David Callahan is a prolific creator and thinker within Democratic politics. He helped start the progressive think tank Demos in the late 90s, founded the media outlet Inside Philanthropy as a Consumer Reports of sorts into the world of charitable giving, and more recently created Blue Tent - an advisory group to help progressive donors get the most bang for their buck. In this conversation, David talks his early days in politics focused on foreign policy, his next stint as a think-tanker trying to pull the Democratic Party left, and why he's more recently been focused on the world of political giving. David is one of the most informed people on the planet on all facets of the political donor world and provides a tour de force on both the current state of play and future trends to better understand how our politics are funded.IN THIS EPISODEGrowing up in New York as the child of academics...An early experience that showed David he was not cut out to be an activist...A formative year spent at the liberal magazine, The American Prospect...David talks getting his PhD and his recommendations for those considering academia...David helps found the progressive think tank Demos and talks the role of think tanks in American politics...What led David to start Inside Philanthropy, a media outlet dedicated to understanding political fundraising...The disturbing trend in political giving that led David to start Blue Tent, a resource for progressive donors...How David and Blue Tent determine where donors will get the most bang for their buck...Why David is an advocate of giving to organizations instead of candidates...David on the phenomenon of "rage giving"...Are donors pulling Democratic candidates to the left?Has Democratic giving fallen off this cycle?David's concern about too many advocacy groups and donor fragmentation on the left compared to more unanimity on the right...David de-mystifies the world of big "donor advisors"...David on the Soros factor on the left...The rough balance of spending from the right vs. spending from the left...The types of operatives who succeed in the donor advising space...The political novel David wrote in the late 90s that eerily predicted elements of both the 9/11 attacks and the rise of a Donald Trump-like politician...AND AOC, Stacey Abrams, Miriam Adelson, The American Enterprise Institute, The American Liberties Project, The American Prospect Magazine, Arabella Advisors, Joe Biden, bioethics, Michael Bloomberg, bureaucratic machinations, the Cato Institute, the Center for Voter Information, Bill Clinton, The Committee on States, credential firepower, the DLC, The Democracy Alliance, Michael Dukakis, The Economic Policy Institute, effective altruism, Federalist Society, Marcus Flowers, Focus for Democracy, Fredrick Forsyth, Forward Montana, Give Well, giving circles, Al Gore, Lindsey Graham, Stanley Greenberg, Jamie Harrison, Hastings-on-Hudson, the Heritage Foundation, Hezbollah, Indian Point Power Plant, Indivisible, the Koch Brothers, LUCHA, Mitch McConnell, Amy McGrath, Michigan United, Mind the Gap, Dustin Moskovitz, Movement Voter Project, neoliberal mindsets, The New America Foundation, Paul Nitze, NYPIRG, Beto O'Rourke, Open Markets, RCTs, Ronald Reagan, The Roosevelt Institute, Run for Something, saber-rattling, Sandinistas, Adam Schiff, Star Wars, the States Project, Swing Left, Marjorie Taylor Greene, transactional donors, Way to Win, Working America & more!

David Callahan returns to The Great Battlefield podcast to talk about founding People's House, where they work to support progressive candidates in GOP held congressional districts and catching us up on Blue Tent, where they connect donors strategically to progressive causes.

Eleven years ago, David Callahan launched a most audacious project – a new publication that was going to get under the hood of philanthropy (to borrow from that great philosopher, Ross Perot) and expose the good, the bad, and the meh. Some folks chortled, some scoffed, and some cast their eyes heavenward in the hope that he would shed a little light on the seemingly byzantine and obscure world of philanthropy. Well, friends, Inside Philanthropy is bigger, better, and badder than ever and David speaks with us in a funny, fascinating, and terrifically candid conversation about the promise and perils of a sector that by some accounts represents a half a trillion dollars in annual giving. Think about that for a minute, then tune in to our latest episode of Let's Hear It.

David Callahan stopped by, and we covered some easy steps that can be taken to ease the negative impact on consumers that energy policies have had. It's not about fossil or renewable; it's about doing what is right for humanity and the environment while being fiscally responsible. The Marcellus Shale Coalition is tackling one of the most challenging changes in the energy space. And that is opening meaningful dialogue between all sides to move humanity forward.

First film in two-part sequel to Oscar-winning animated movie swings into theaters on Oct. 7, 2022 Miles Morales plunges into the multiverse in the first look at the sequel to the Oscar-winning animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part One) — the first of a two-part continuation of the beloved 2018 film — swings into theaters on Oct. 7, 2022. In the two-minute clip from the upcoming movie, Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore) is revisited by another dimension's Gwen Stacy/Spider-Gwen (Hailee Steinfeld), who draws him back into the “Spider-Verse.” He's then teleported to (presumably) a world populated by Miguel O'Hara a.k.a. Spider-Man 2099, voiced by Oscar Isaac, who cameoed the role in the post-credits scene of the 2018 film but will play a larger role in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part One). Like the original Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse — which won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, ending the Disney/Pixar reign in the category and was named “the greatest Spidey movie of all time” by Rolling Stone — the sequel was written by Christopher Miller and Phil Lord, along with Shang-Chi screenwriter David Callahan. Part Two will arrive in 2023, Lord and Miller told EW. “Miles' story is an epic,” they said. “We wrote what we thought the story needed to be, and to our surprise we realized it was two movies instead of one. We're working on them both as we speak. Part Two will be out sometime in 2023. We will sleep again in 2024.” What's going on Internet, Analytic here aka Dreamz and I would like to welcome you to mine, which I call the Notorious Mass Effect Podcast!

Sustaining progressive media outlets is famously difficult. It's hard to make or raise any money since philanthropic donors often steer away from media. However, progressive magazines and journals play a super important role in American politics and culture. They investigate stories about the abuse of power that nobody else pays attention to, and they help shift key debates in public life. Few people know the world of progressive media better than Katrina vanden Heuvel, who was editor of The Nation magazine for nearly 25 years, starting in 1995. During that time, Katrina brought enormous new energy in legions of new subscribers to The Nation. She also emerged as one of the left's most visible commentators. Appearing regularly on ABC news and writing a column in the Washington post these days, host David Callahan spoke with Katrina on donors and changes in progressive politics. Inside Change is produced by David Callahan and Kayan Tara.

Host David Callahan first met Heather McGee nearly 20 years ago when she was hired as a researcher at Demos, the think tank David co-founded in 1999. Even back then, in her early twenties, Heather was a superstar. Sure enough, she eventually became president of Demos in 2014. She held that position until 2018 when she left Demos to begin traveling through America to research and write her new book, "The Sum of Us: How Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together." Heather's book makes a powerful case about the costs of racism and racial division. What's so unusual about her argument is that she doesn't mainly focus on the cost inflicted on people of color. Instead, she zeroes in on how racism also hurts white people by undermining the government and the ability of Americans to come together to solve our biggest problems. David spoke to Heather not long after her book was published. Inside Change is produced by David Callahan and Kayan Tara.

Not since the 1960s has there been so much grassroots activism on the left. One sign of that renaissance has been the emergence of the Working Families Party as an important national player in progressive politics. Going from a small regional third party, mostly focused on one state, today the Working Families Party is striving to build power in 11 States, with a mission focused on creating a strong, multiracial working-class movement. It's more prominent and better funded than ever before. Maurice Mitchell became the National Director of the Working Families Party in 2018. Host David Callahan spoke with Maurice on the nature of grassroots organizing, and how a third party like Working Families can make an impact in our two-party electoral system. Inside Change is produced by David Callahan and Kayan Tara.

One big takeaway of the 2020 election is that America's electoral map is changing. Democrats are becoming more competitive in the South and Southwest even as they work harder to secure wins in the Midwest. The victories in those two states were no great surprise to Steve Phillips, a political donor, and author who has spent years talking about how to mobilize new voters of color and win more elections. With his wife Susan Sandler, Phillips invests in grassroots work through the Susan Sandler Fund, a philanthropy the couple created last year. Phillips is the host of “Democracy in Color with Steve Phillips,” a color-conscious podcast on politics, and also the founder of Democracy in Color, a political media organization. His new book, How to “Win the Civil War,” will be published this fall. Host David Callahan spoke with Phillips on what the Democratic party and its donors need to do to build a new American majority. Inside Change is produced by David Callahan and Kayan Tara.

It's pretty much impossible to create and sustain a more compassionate, powerful government, one that's up to the huge challenges of our time, without raising taxes. The public sector at every level—federal, state, and local—needs more revenue. It's been baffling that tax policy doesn't get more attention from those leaders and institutions working to create a fairer, more equitable America. It's only been in recent years that tax policy has generated real interest in progressive circles, thanks to bold proposals for a wealth tax. Now, with Biden in office and Democrats in control of Congress, we're likely to be talking a lot more about this topic. Biden has pledged to raise taxes by more than $3 trillion. One organization that has been waiting for this moment is the Institute for Taxation and Economic Policy, which is based in Washington, D.C. and led by Amy Hanauer. Host David Callahan spoke with Hanauer on the many facets of tax policy. Inside Change is produced by David Callahan and Kayan Tara.

Over the past quarter-century, Gara LaMarche has had a super interesting career in philanthropy and progressive politics. For nearly a decade, starting in the mid-1990s, he worked for George Soros helping Soros figure out how to give away hundreds of millions of dollars in the United States. During that time, the Open Society Foundations would emerge as a key early funder of causes like criminal justice reform and marriage equality. LaMarche then went to work for another top mega-donor, Chuck Feeney, and led Atlantic Philanthropies, where he was once again in charge of giving away huge piles of money. After that, he became head of the Democracy Alliance, a network of wealthy donors that collectively moves tens of millions of dollars a year to progressive causes. Along the way, LaMarche has worked with just about every important organization and leader on the left. LaMarche has been a practitioner of big philanthropy, but also a thoughtful critic. Host David Callahan spoke with LaMarche not long before he announced that he would be stepping down as president of the Democracy Alliance.

Never before has there been so much progressive energy, whether you're looking at the world of activism or think tanks or media. As for the Democratic Party, while it is far from dominant today and struggles to win elections in many places, one cannot recall a time when the party felt more like the vehicle of a true political movement. There's so much going on these days in the progressive world, that it can be hard to get your arms around it and see the big picture. Journalist Robert Kuttner recently published a lengthy and insightful article on Democratic politics and the progressive movement in the American Prospect, the magazine which he is the co-founder. Kuttner has been a keen student of the Democratic party for a very long time, publishing 12 books on the subject. Host David Callahan spoke with Robert Kuttner on what he learned in his career and how progressive politics today fits into a bigger story he's been writing about for decades. Inside Change is produced by David Callahan and Kayan Tara.

By the beginning of this century, inequality stood at record levels and free market ideology reigned supreme facing little pushback, including from the democratic party. But that's been changing over the past decade, since the financial crisis. In recent years, there's been a real Renaissance in progressive efforts to challenge inequality and re-imagine capitalism. One key player in this work has been The Roosevelt Institute, a think tank based in New York city. Roosevelt is not one of the larger think tanks around, but it has been laser-focused on mounting a fierce challenge to neoliberalism and calling for a new set of rules to govern our economy. It has published a long line of reports and briefs making these arguments, and it's also played an important role behind the scenes trying to influence elected officials. Host David Callahan spoke with Felicia Wong, President and CEO of the Institute. Inside Change is produced by David Callahan and Kayan Tara.

Trying to change public policy can be a slow and grinding business. And if you're on the left, you often spend much of your time just playing defense. These tough realities make The Fairness Project, an organization focused exclusively on making changes at the state level where it works on passing ballot initiatives, a super interesting organization to take a look at. This organization has quite a track record, and all the more so given the bleak political landscape of the past four years. So, the obvious question is, how has the Fairness Project been so successful? What's its secret sauce? Host David Callahan spoke with Jonathan Schleifer, executive director of The Fairness Project. Inside Change is produced by David Callahan and Kayan Tara.

Black led organizations have long had a tough time raising money. They scrimped along with modest budgets and small staffs. Yet in recent years, this has finally begun to change, even before the protests in June 2020 over George Floyd's death. Black led organizations were benefiting from an uptick in financial support from foundations and major donors, that were bringing a stronger racial justice lens to their work. In the second half of 2020, that rising stream of funding turned into a torrent of new support for black led groups. One black led organization that that has been around for a long time is the Joint Center For Economic and Political Studies, which has been the only think tank that exclusively focuses on issues of concern to black people since 1970. The Joint Center has gone through some tough times in the last decade, but lately it has been in a period of growth and renewal under the leadership of its president, Spencer Overton. Host David Callahan speaks with Spencer Overton this episode. Inside Change is produced by David Callahan and Kayan Tara.

In the last four years, we've seen a really stunning explosion of progressive energy. There's been new activists who've arrived on the scene, new organizations have emerged and existing groups on the left have dramatically expanded. Since the 2016 election, there is a long list of who's been giving, but one of the funders that really sticks out as a key player in building up a new progressive infrastructure has been Propel Capital, which is based in Brooklyn. Just a few of the groups it's backed include Indivisible, Swing Left and Color of Change. Propel also supports a lot of organizations you've probably never heard of. Host David Callahan spoke with Sarah Williams, co-founder and CEO of Propel Capital, the key person at Propel directing this money. Inside Change is produced by David Callahan and Kayan Tara.

For years during the 1980s and 1990s, progressives struggled to build powerful think tanks. One major milestone in changing that was the creation of the Center for American Progress (CAP) in 2005. Today, CAP has a budget of more than $50 million a year. You'll see CAP's people and policy ideas all over the place. Most recently, it's been playing a role in helping shape the agenda of the Biden administration. Host David Callahan spoke with Neera Tanden on the work of CAP just weeks before Tanden was nominated by President Biden to lead the Office of Management and Budget. Inside Change is produced by David Callahan and Kayan Tara.

The world of philanthropy has seen tremendous change in recent years. One really important trend here has been how a growing number of foundations have elevated issues of equity and race to the very top of their agenda. This trend started well before the pandemic spotlighted how grossly unfair economic life really is in this country. And it started before the death of George Floyd, which sparked nationwide protests in June 2020. A case in point is the Weingart Foundation, which is based in Los Angeles and focuses its work exclusively on Southern California. The person who led the Weingart Foundation as it made this major shift was Fred Ali who has served as its president since 1999. Fred also led Weingart as it responded to the pandemic, a crisis which dramatically spotlighted the deep inequities in Los Angeles. This episode host David Callahan speaks with Fred Ali, outgoing President and CEO of the Weingart Foundation. Inside Change is produced by David Callahan and Kayan Tara.

Some of the world’s richest people have been digging deep during the pandemic, donating their own money to help fight Covid-19. With some of the wealthiest 1% already funding medical research, we ask how comfortable we should be with billionaires taking on an even bigger role in public health. Vivienne Nunis speaks to David Callahan, editor of the website Inside Philanthropy and Rob Reich, Professor of Political Science and co-director of the Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society at Stanford University. Chris Anderson, the head of the ideas-sharing platform, TED, tells us philanthropy needs a shake-up. And, neuroscientist Dr. Christof Koch explains what it’s like to work at a medical research institute funded by private money. (Picture: a charity savings jar. Credit: Getty)

From the financial crisis to Obamacare to the budget debates, the size and scope of government is being debated across the country. One side calls for more regulation to foster equitable prosperity because the free market is out of control. The other side says government has grown too big and intrusive; we need to mitigate its power while rediscovering the founders’ principles. Dr. Yaron Brook, Executive Director of the Ayn Rand Institute, and Dr. David Callahan, Co-Founder of Demos, join Ford Hall Forum President Dominick Ianno to debate the fundamental social, economic, and moral ideas that underlie politics in America today.This debate was recorded and hosted by Ford Hall Forum on September 29, 2011.

The Wolfhounds special with David Callahan in conversation The Wolfhounds began as a slightly askew indie pop/rock band, and signed to the Pink label in 1986. First EP Cut the Cake was well enough received for the NME to include them on their C86 compilation album. After three singles and debut album Unseen Ripples From A Pebble on Pink, they briefly moved to Idea Recordsfor the Me single, then rejoined Pink's boss at his new label September Records. September soon evolved into Midnight Music which was the Wolfhounds' home for all subsequent releases. With original members Bolton and Clark replaced by David Oliver and Matt Deighton, the Wolfhounds' sound developed into a denser, less poppy sound.[citation needed] After a compilation of earlier material, second album proper Bright and Guilty was released in 1989, featuring the singles "Son of Nothing", "Rent Act" and "Happy Shopper". The sound progressed further with the albums Blown Away (also 1989) and Attitude(1990), which found them in Sonic Youth territory, interspersing raging guitars with elegant compositional exercises. This proved to be the final Wolfhounds release of the 80s, with the band splitting in early 1990. Golding and Stebbing formed Crawl, while Callahan hooked up with former Ultra Vivid Scene member Margaret Fiedler in Moonshake. Matt Deighton formed Mother Earth.

It seems that every time we experience a “gilded age,” the rich, perhaps worried that the pitchforks will soon be at the gates, increase their giving. According to David Callahan, our guest on this week’s WhoWhatWhy podcast and the founder and editor of Inside Philanthropy, political polarization has divided the world of large-scale giving as never before. Each side looks askance at the philanthropists on the other side. For those on the left, the Koch brothers are evil in their giving. For those on the right, George Soros is a symbol of all that is wrong with giving. Callahan, also the author of The Cheating Culture, explains how the billionaire class, which, over the past 40 years has led the charge to shrink the size of government, now seeks to privatize public good. The super-rich aim to mobilize their wealth and their “I alone can fix it” philosophy to determine where dollars are needed in the public sphere. Callahan reminds us that this has led to the delusion that the wealthy, no matter how that wealth is acquired, wield some special powers to determine what’s best. The delusion has been amplified by the current occupant of the White House. All of this, Callahan says, has led to the virtual institutionalization of the wealth gap. What we need now, he argues, is less accumulated wealth dispensed by private individuals, and more redistribution of wealth under public auspices — allowing people to democratically select what goals and values they want to advance.  

In this episode of Insights From Abroad, David Callahan interviews Jean AbiNader, in which they discuss Morocco's economic present and future.

The Wolfhounds special with Andrew Golding talking about life in music, indie pop and his new solo album Dragon Welding'. The Wolfhounds began as a slightly askew indie pop/rock band, and signed to the Pink label in 1986. First EP Cut the Cake was well enough received for the NME to include them on their C86 compilation album. After three singles and debut album Unseen Ripples From A Pebble on Pink,[1] they briefly moved to Idea Records for the Me single, then rejoined Pink's boss at his new label September Records. September soon evolved into Midnight Music which was the Wolfhounds' home for all subsequent releases. With original members Bolton and Clark replaced by David Oliver and Matt Deighton, the Wolfhounds' sound developed into a denser, less poppy sound.[citation needed] After a compilation of earlier material, second album proper Bright and Guilty was released in 1989, featuring the singles "Son of Nothing", "Rent Act" and "Happy Shopper".

This proved to be the final Wolfhounds release of the 80s, with the band splitting in early 1990. Golding and Stebbing formed Crawl, while Callahan hooked up with former Ultra Vivid Scene member Margaret Fiedler in Moonshake. Matt Deighton formed Mother Earth. The current line-up is David Callahan (guitar/vocals), Andy Golding (guitar/vocals), Peter Wilkins (drums) and Richard Golding (bass). The Wolfhounds reformed in 2005 for a gig to mark the 20th anniversary of the release of their first single "Cut the Cake" in 1985. In 2006, they were asked by Bob Stanley of St Etienne to play at the ICA in London, alongside Roddy Frame and Phil Wilson, to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the NME cassette C86. They have continued to play live, re-energised when The Membranes asked them to be special guests at The Lexington in London, and in March 2012 played with Laetitia Sadier from Stereolab in support at a benefit to raise funds for the Timperley Frank Sidebottom memorial statue. An EP called EP001 was released on Vollwert-Records Berlin in April 2012 containing three songs that pre-date the band's first single but that were never recorded satisfactorily at the time. Of these songs, 'Skullface' has picked up a lot of radio play. The band released several 7" singles in 2013, included on new album Middle Age Freaks, released on Odd Box Records in 2014. Also in 2014 an anniversary limited-edition issue of Unseen Ripples from a Pebble (plus bonus tracks) was released by Optic Nerve Recordings. In October 2016, the Wolfhounds released their sixth album Untied Kingdom (...Or How to Come to Terms with Your Culture). Louder Than War rated it 9/10.

Watch the video here. Blending liberalism with old values, David Callahan's many nonfiction books include Fortunes of Change, The Moral Center, and The Cheating Culture, a ''meticulously researched, thoughtful and damning look at our broken moral compass'' (Philadelphia Inquirer). He is founder of the website Inside Philanthropy and co-founder of the think-tank Demos, a frequent media commentator, and has contributed articles to the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post. In The Givers, Callahan delves into the secretive realm of elite philanthropists and the ways they shape governmental policy. Sandra Shaber Memorial Lecture (recorded 4/27/2017)

When the super-wealthy make the decision to give away their money, many of them choose causes that align with their personal values and politics. From Bill and Melinda Gates’ donations to put the Common Core in classrooms to the Koch brothers’ sweeping financial support of conservative causes, it is apparent that the wealthy can use philanthropy as a tool to shape the world in the ways they see fit. David Callahan explores the outsized influence that these donations can have -- and how they can undermine civic equality -- in his new book, The Givers: Wealth, Power, and Philanthropy in a New Gilded Age.

Surgery in the 19th century was a special kind of gross. We’re talking maggot-ridden hospital beds and unwashed tools. We take a look at how surgery turned into the sterile practice we know today. Then, we tend to love or hate wealthy philanthropists depending on whether their politics align with our own. David Callahan explains how the political influence of billionaires is changing our world. Finally, it’s tempting to spend your hard-earned paycheck on fancy gadgets and kale. But what if, instead, we spent it on services that saved us time? Turns out, we all might be a lot happier.

Tyler Emerson talks with historian George McCully about his book Philanthropy Reconsidered, the history and significance of philanthropy’s original meaning, his work on the Catalogue for Philanthropy, David Callahan’s The Givers, Benjamin Franklin, impact investing, the influence of philanthropic ideals on the American Revolution, and more.

Giving It Away Global philanthropy is on the rise, but can the huge sums donated by wealthy business people risk undermining governments and democracy? Manuela Saragosa is joined by economist Neva Rockefeller Goodwin, a member of the Rockefeller family that owns one of the world's largest fortunes. Neva is also one of 400 wealthy people in the USA who signed a letter organised by the Responsible Wealth project against tax cuts for the rich.

Show #172 | Guest: Dave Callahan | Show Summary: It’s a thorny proposition: the increasing reliance on America’s ultra-rich for society’s most urgent needs. Government funding of such basic services as education, health care, and arts are becoming more politically manipulated and constrained. Enter the 1%: the Zuckerbergs, Waltons, Gateses, the Buffets. All have opened their wallets for their preferred causes; all exercise control over what meets their personal criteria. On the one hand, their generosity has funded schools, clinics, journalism – an endless list of beneficial gifts to America. On the other hand, what are the hidden costs of shifting the public good into the hands of a small cadre of powerful individuals? David Callahan’s “The Givers: Wealth, Power, and Philanthropy in a New Gilded Age” is an inside look at the secretive world of elite philanthropists and how they’re quietly wielding ever more power to shape American life for better and for worse.

Is it a completely good thing when a billionaire gives away their money? David Callahan walks us through the new world of philanthropy. Why does so much of our most popular science-fiction feature bleak, depressing futures? We talk to a science-fiction writer to find out. Our tax system is inefficient, unfair, and infuriating. TR Reid tells us how to fix it.

Big philanthropists like Bill Gates and the Koch Brothers are reshaping our society. But, we don’t really have much of a say as to how. We look at the rise of big philanthropy.

Tax reform is next on Mitch McConnell’s to-do list, and author T.R. Reid says Congress has an opportunity to make April 15 just another sunny spring day.

American philanthropy has been undergoing a major resurgence in the last few decades, leading some to dub this a 'golden age' for giving. At the same time, wealth concentration and inequality, the gap between rich and poor, has been on the increase. Author of a new book called The Givers, David Callahan, explains why these two trends are fueling each other and what needs to change to avoid oligarchy.
