Once again I'm joined by David Roth and Charles Star, and this time we're tackling some Michael Mann, with his divisive 2006 movie MIAMI VICE. In this episode, which is almost as long as the movie, we talk about the movie, the soundtrack, and whatever else we wanted to talk about. It's a chaotic episode and I wouldn't have it any other way. You can't fight gravity, just like you can't fight listening to this episode.Check out No Homework here: https://nohomework.website/?synced=1Check out David's work at Defector here: https://defector.com/author/david-rothCheck out It's Christmastown here: https://daveandjebarentmean.libsyn.com/Check out The Distraction here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-distraction-a-defector-podcast/id1525039108Support the show on Patreon!

As part of a 3-part series on the divisions within political movements, we explore divisions within the conservative movement, through the lens of the Heritage Foundation, a think tank with a number of recent high-profile departures over issues like misogyny and anti-semitism.  On Today's Show:Andrew Hale, fellow for international relations, economics, and trade at Advancing American Freedom, talks about the ideological and generational fight inside the think tank behind Project 2025, and what the battle over its direction says about where the Republican Party is headed after Trump. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Tory defector Tim Montgomerie has been suspended from Reform UK. Was that inevitable when he talked in public about splits within the party?Hugo Rifkind unpacks the politics of the day with Patrick Kidd and Megan Kenyon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Investigative journalist and BAFTA-winning filmmaker Richard Kerbaj discusses The Defector, his book on Oleg Lyalin — the KGB officer who walked into a North London police station in 1971 and exposed over 200 Soviet spies in Britain, partly to escape his marriage. He and the hosts trace how MI5's decision to withhold him from the CIA broke James Angleton's decade of paranoia, then take apart the Five Eyes: its origins, its budget imbalance, and whether it survives the current moment.Watch Mission Implausible on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MissionImplausiblePod

Fellow Defector Justin Ellis joins Drew and Roth! They talk about his upcoming book, The Cruelty of Nice Folks: Why Minneapolis Is the Story of America, and how Justin thinks it relates to the latest primaries. But first, Drew's got a good old fashioned rant he needs to get off his chest. Then, they talk sports – is Justin excited about LaMelo Ball joining the Timberwolves, or skeptical? And, same question but with new Vikings starter Kyler Murray. Finally, they open up the funbag to figure out how long it takes to finish off a bottle of absinthe and a pumice stone.Preorder Justin's new book now!Do you want to hear your question answered on the pod?

This month, on Laura Flanders & Friends, we turn to the state of journalism—at a moment of deep disruption, consolidation, and consequence. Across the country and around the world, newsrooms are shrinking, ownership is concentrating, and the very idea of a free and independent press is under pressure. But journalists aren't simply standing by—they're pushing back, reimagining their work, and, in many cases, taking matters into their own hands.This week we explore whether worker-owned media might offer a path forward, as reporters and editors respond to industry collapse by building new models rooted in accountability and collective power.  This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description:  The business of media is in danger — but it sure isn't dead. Many of the rising stars that were poised to “save journalism” like Vice and Buzzfeed have either entered bankruptcy or stopped reporting on news. There have been layoffs across the industry and many newsrooms have cut back on the resources available to journalists. But workers have also organized unions, including high-profile campaigns at Condé Nast and The New Yorker, and started worker-owned media like Hell Gate and Defector. This month on “Meet the BIPOC Press”, Laura Flanders is joined by three journalists who have lived through the struggles and are a part of the solutions. Alex Sujong Laughlin is a supervising producer and co-owner at Defector; Esther Wang is a worker-owner at Hell Gate; and Tammy Kim helped organize unions at Al Jazeera America and The New Yorker, where she is a contributing writer. How do they think about the future of journalism, and what difference does it make when journalists have the freedom to speak truth to power — especially when it comes to reporting on policing and Palestine?

We're deep in the summer, and that means a Drew and Roth solo episode! Drew is beaming in directly from his vacation, and Roth has some shit to shoot. After, they get to sports, like LeBron's new commute, Tony Romo's fresh DUI, and Sophie Cunningham's deranged self-deflection. And Ross Douthat is joining… 60 Minutes? Psyched? Finally, they open up the funbag to answer real questions from real Defector readers and Distraction listeners. Do you want to hear your question answered on the pod? Well, give us a call at 909-726-3720.
