Podcasts about journalists

Journalism is under fire at a moment when truth, accountability, and public trust matter more than ever. In this episode, Kara Duffy sits down with Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and investigative podcaster Maggie Freleng to unpack how media, power, the justice system intersect, and where they break down. Maggie shares how her reporting on wrongful convictions, policing, and systemic corruption led her into investigative podcasting, why blurred lines between journalism, influencers, and creators demand stronger ethics, and how privilege shapes whose cases receive public attention. Together, they discuss jury bias, misinformation, class inequality, and what it means to be an advocate in a system that often protects itself over people. 00:00 Introduction to the Guest: Maggie Freleng 01:26 Maggie's Journey into Journalism 05:16 The Changing Landscape of Journalism 09:17 The Role of Independent Journalism 19:00 Maggie's Personal Reflections and Life Choices 26:31 Reflecting on Personal Experiences and Wrongful Convictions 27:31 The Jury System and Its Impact on Justice 31:13 Choosing Between Bench Trials and Jury Trials 32:25 Karen Reed Case: A Litmus Test for Public Awareness 36:36 The Role of Police and the Concept of Defunding 40:23 Addressing Income Inequality and Class Wars 42:33 Empowering Women to Take Action 44:26 Exciting Updates on Season Three 45:30 The Power of Women and Multitasking 49:42 Conclusion and Final Thoughts The Powerful Ladies podcast, hosted by business coach and strategist Kara Duffy features candid conversations with entrepreneurs, creatives, athletes, chefs, writers, scientists, and more.

Demonized by Republicans and Democrats alike, a myth emerged around “antifa” during Donald Trump's first term. But few understand the dangerous work antifa does to disrupt and unmask the latest crop of white supremacists or listened when antifa sounded the alarm about these white supremacists taking positions of power. But, this underground network of militant anti-fascists is determined to stop the rising tide of fascism in America, and does so risking life andlimb. In our latest we talk with journalist, and author of the newly released "To Catch a Fascist: The Fight to Expose the Radical Right," Chris Mathias about his new book, antifa and the far right. Bio//Christopher Mathias (@LetsGoMathias) is a journalist covering the far right and the author of the recently release "To Catch a Fascist: The Fight to Expose the Radical Right."-------------------------------

Journalists are rarely arrested, in part because the media elites freak out, since they apparently can never commit a crime if they're trying to interview people. Lemon can't be part of a mob violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, to which they added churches. Now if a journalist was part of a mob invading an abortion clinic, we all know the Left would freak out about that.

The biggest news stories, the ones that shape our democracy, don't just play out in Washington. They unfold in neighborhoods, on street corners, and around the country.In many cases, the first images and explanations of what's happening don't come from national news outlets, but the people who are there with cellphones and cameras in hand. That includes local journalists who are out in their communities. Journalists are trained to confirm and contextualize, but what does that look like in today's shifting media landscape?Local reporters on the ground are crucial. But nearly 40 percent of local newspapers in the U.S. have disappeared since the early 2000s. Even the largest newspapers — providing national coverage out of major cities — are on shaky ground. Layoffs are expected at The Washington Post in the coming weeks.What does it all mean for how news gets made and who gets heard? What's at stake for our democracy?

Today's Headlines: The federal government is currently shut down after Congress failed to pass a spending bill by Friday's deadline, though Speaker Mike Johnson claims the shutdown could end as soon as tomorrow. Even so, the funding lapse barely registered amid a flood of other major news. On Friday morning, journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort were arrested following their coverage of an anti-ICE protest at a Minneapolis church, despite both repeatedly stating they were there in a journalistic capacity — a development that raised serious press freedom concerns. Around the same time, federal records identified the two immigration agents involved in the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, adding more scrutiny to ICE and CBP operations. There was at least one rare piece of good news: 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father were released from an immigration detention center in Texas and returned home to Minneapolis after a judge ordered their release. That decision stood in stark contrast to reports that ICE allowed a suspect in the $100 million Brinks jewelry heist to be deported while continuing to detain families with young children. Elsewhere, the DOJ released more than 3.5 million pages of heavily redacted Epstein files, signaling that no new indictments are expected. President Trump also sued the IRS for $10 billion over leaked tax returns, promoted new Trump-branded savings accounts for children, announced plans to shut down the Kennedy Center for two years, and capped off the week as Democrats scored a surprise victory in a deep-red Texas state Senate district.

The journey of midlife often means navigating new aches, unexplained fatigue, and questions about how our bodies are really aging. What if the way we feel,from pain to anxiety to energy, has less to do with "getting older" and more to do with what's happening deep in our cells and connective tissues? This episode brings practical clarity to a confusing topic: fascia, block therapy, and how decompressing our bodies from the inside out could shift the way we age. Journalist and host Natalie Tysdal welcomes expert Deanna Hansen, founder of block therapy and educator on cellular aging and detoxification. Deanna's grounded insights help demystify fascia, the tissue that connects every cell, and why its health matters more than we realize. If you've ever wondered about lingering pain, stiffness, or why common wellness advice sometimes falls flat, this conversation brings new options and hope. From her decades of clinical experience and personal transformation, Deanna shares gentle, realistic ways women can care for their bodies at any age—no fitness fads required. What you'll learn: • Why fascia health is crucial for pain, aging, inflammation, and overall wellbeing in women over 40 • The true difference between surface treatments (like massage, exercise) and deep fascia decompression • How breathwork and small daily practices influence detox, energy, and even weight loss • Simple, at-home techniques using a block, towel, or even your hands and feet to support fascia health (including travel) friendly options • How midlife women can start realistic self-care using Deanna's free resources, without needing a specialist or advanced tools For women in midlife, clarity is power. Understanding fascia and cellular decompression doesn't require hype or complicated routines. Instead, it provides tangible steps for feeling better, staying mobile, and aging with more comfort, not just managing symptoms, but changing the story of your health.

J.R. Jamison sits down with Samantha Ellis to journey through time, language, and cultural connectivity as the two explore her new memoir, Always Carry Salt. The daughter of Iraqi Jewish refugees, Samantha grew up surrounded by the noisy, vivid, hot sounds of Judeo-Iraqi Arabic; a language that's on the verge of extinction. Now, raising her own family, she questions how to pass on this heritage without passing on the trauma of displacement. Always Carry Salt is a life-affirming tale of resilience and repair, the healing power of our ancestor's music, stories, and recipes, and a moving meditation on the words and traditions that shape us.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWTen years ago, the idea that journalists could be arrested in the United States for doing their jobs would've been laughed out of the room. Not debated. Laughed at. And yet here we are, watching federal agents put reporters in custody while the government stretches the definition of criminal behavior to make it sound legal after the fact.This episode starts with that line being crossed and why it matters far more than the personalities involved. When the government decides that simply being present, documenting events, or asking questions can turn journalism into a crime, the chilling effect isn't accidental. It's the point. This isn't about law and order. It's about who gets to decide when reporting becomes inconvenient.At the same time, we're being told something even more disturbing, that billions of social media posts are being monitored every single day. Not quietly. Not as a rumor. Out loud. Speech isn't just moderated anymore. It's watched, tracked, cataloged, and treated as something that needs to be managed when it challenges power or organizes opposition.That shift isn't neutral and it isn't evenly applied. Political speech that pushes back gets throttled, buried, or flagged, while other voices are amplified and normalized. Private conversations, encrypted chats, and organizing outside approved channels are suddenly being framed as suspicious simply because they exist beyond control.And then there's the Epstein document dump. Millions of pages released in one shot, followed by a declaration that this is everything and the case is effectively closed. No real explanations. No clear accountability. Just volume and a request that the public move on. That isn't transparency. That's noise used to bury the truth instead of confront it.These aren't separate stories. They're signals. Journalism under pressure. Speech under surveillance. Accountability drowned in data. If it feels like the ground is shifting fast, it's because it is. And pretending this is normal is exactly how it becomes permanent.If you care, and if you've enjoyed my podcast, I can use your help in several ways:Please Email me and let me know you're there:WolfPackTalks@gmail.comI also talked about the major financial upheaval that my girlfriend and I are going through.If you can, and you would like to help…Support link Herehttps://gofund.me/18cf67fe4AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

“You have a good life,” her aunt said. “You don't want to ruin it with the past.”Those words were deeply unsettling to journalist Christine Kuehn. She always suspected there was more to her paternal family history. Her father was kind but evasive, and her aunt flat out refused to discuss it. But no one would talk. Then she got a letter from a screenwriter who asked if her family could be the same Kuehns who spied on Pearl Harbor for the Nazis and shared intel with the Japanese. When she confronted her father, he denied everything. But within an hour, he called back, sobbing, and confessed.So began Kuehn's quest to uncover the truth. It took her and her husband Mark decades to sort through FBI files, letters, historical records and family journals — and even longer for her to absorb and process the fact that her grandparents and aunt were accomplished Nazi spies, largely responsible for the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Her new book, “Family of Spies,” tells her family's shocking history. Turns out, at age 19, Kuehn's aunt Ruth had an affair with Nazi leader Joseph Goebbels. When he learned she was half Jewish, he sent the family to Hawaii — the better to preserve his purity — with a mandate that they spy on the Americans for the Japanese. Kuehn's family obliged and changed the course of history. This week on Big Books and Bold Ideas, Kuehn talks with Kerri Miller about the shame of discovering her family's history and what helped her move beyond it. Guest:Christine Kuehn is a journalist and writer who lives outside of Baltimore, Maryland. Her book is “Family of Spies.” Subscribe to the Thread newsletter for the latest book and author news and must-read recommendations.Subscribe to Big Books and Bold Ideas with Kerri Miller on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, RSS or anywhere you get your podcasts.

The Space Show Presents Dr. Ajay Kothari, Sunday, 1-25-26.Quick summaryThe meeting focused on Dr. Kothari's presentation of a cargo delivery concept to the moon using multiple Falcon Heavy upper stages docked together, which he proposed as an alternative to NASA's current Artemis program. Ajay argued this method could be implemented more quickly and cheaply than the Starship program, with the potential to establish a permanent lunar presence before China's planned International Lunar Research Station. While the Trump administration aims to land humans on the moon by 2028, several participants expressed skepticism about meeting this timeline, with Bill suggesting this concept could be better aligned with later Artemis missions. The discussion included technical details about fuel requirements, landing capabilities, and cost comparisons, with Marshall proposing a stacked configuration as an alternative design approach.Detailed SummaryDr. Ajay Kothari started his discussion by sharing his recent experience presenting at an international conference on sustainable energy propulsion in India, where he was the only speaker focused on space. He emphasized the importance of not underestimating the technical capabilities of other countries, particularly India and China, and highlighted the impressive work being done at Indian Institutes of Technology. Ajay presented the paradigm for space exploration and discussed the potential of thorium nuclear energy for various applications, including data centers and small modular reactors. The presentation was well-received, and he plans to share some slides during the meeting.After sharing his experience at a conference in India, where he was impressed by the hospitality and technology, and received an award for his presentation, Ajay then discussed the importance of establishing a sustainable and cost-effective lunar settlement, criticizing the current plans for Artemis missions as they do not address the need for permanent infrastructure. Ajay emphasized that the real competition is not about the first human landing, but about creating a permanent presence on the Moon with habitats and outposts, which was not adequately addressed in recent congressional actions.Our guest presented a proposal for a lunar cargo mission using Falcon Heavy, emphasizing its cost-effectiveness and potential to beat China to a permanent lunar presence. He highlighted the need for reusable booster stages and low-drag upper stages to reduce mission costs and mass requirements. David questioned the funding and necessity of the cargo mission, to which Ajay explained the urgency due to China's plans for an International Lunar Research Station and the importance of establishing a presence on the moon. Bill inquired about Artemis baseline architecture, and Dr. Kothari acknowledged familiarity with Artemis 4 and 5 but noted uncertainty about later missions.Ajay and Bill discussed the timeline for the Artemis 8 mission, which is currently scheduled for 2033 but is likely to be delayed to the mid-2030s. Ajay emphasized the need for an earlier presence on the moon to compete with China's space station plans by 2030. Bill presented details on the Artemis 8 module, which can house up to four astronauts for short stays. Ajay calculated the delta V required for lunar missions and discussed propellant fractions and payload capacities for different launch vehicles, including the Falcon Heavy and New Glenn.Ajay presented a comparison of different rocket systems for cargo transport, focusing on the cost-effectiveness of Falcon Heavy and New Glenn compared to the SLS. He demonstrated that using Falcon Heavy for four flights could save up to 80% compared to the SLS, while New Glenn was also competitive with similar cost savings. He emphasized that these proven systems should be preferred over the unproven SLS for cargo missions, and suggested that TSS should push for this approach, particularly for missions up to Artemis V.Ajay and Bill discussed the implications of using cargo components in a human mission to the moon, with Bill raising concerns about potential risks to human safety if cargo missions fail. Ajay clarified that cargo missions would occur before human missions, minimizing risk. Bill also inquired about propellant loss in upper stages for the Falcon Heavy, to which Dr. Ajay explained that redesigns would be necessary to accommodate additional fuel and cargo, including potentially larger tanks and increased dry weight. Ajay emphasized the importance of repurposing upper stages for missions beyond Earth, contrasting this with Elon Musk's focus on reusability.The group discussed NASA's Artemis mission plans, with David explaining that the current administration's goal is limited to landing humans on the moon by 2028 before China does, rather than establishing a permanent presence. Ajay emphasized the importance of building a permanent lunar base, suggesting it could be achieved within two years with additional funding from Congress, though he acknowledged this might not be realized until after 2028. The discussion highlighted a disconnect between long-term planning needs and current budget constraints, with David noting that future mission planning would likely depend on the next administration's priorities.Ajay proposed a plan to establish a permanent lunar presence before Artemis 3, suggesting the construction of structures on the moon with a budget of $500-600 million and the capability to transport 15 tons of cargo. He emphasized the importance of this initiative for the country and suggested that it could be implemented alongside SpaceX's Starship program. The group discussed the challenges of convincing Elon Musk to shift from the Starship plan, with Phil highlighting the political and logistical obstacles. Marshall suggested setting a baseline design for a lunar station and challenging SpaceX to improve upon it, while John proposed this plan as a potential alternative if Starship encounters technical difficulties.The group discussed a proposal for a moon landing mission using multiple Falcon Heavy upper stages. Ajay presented his concept of using four stages, with one in the center and three at 120-degree intervals, connected and fired together for translunar injection. Bill suggested creating drawings to better illustrate the concept, while Philip proposed an alternative architecture involving fuel transfer between stages before landing.

A recent Washington Post report has triggered intense debate across Bangladesh and the region, suggesting the United States wants a greater say in Bangladesh's political future. The audio was first procured and investigated by Bangladeshi journalist Zulkarnain Saer, who deemed it of critical importance to public interest. Since then, he has been praised for exposing backroom diplomacy and criticized by former U.S. diplomats who question his interpretation. He speaks to ThePrint on why he went public with it, why the U.S. is reaching out to Jamaat, and whether Bangladesh's political reality is fundamentally shifting.

A new book is giving the world an in-depth look at the life and career of longtime Channel 2 anchorman, Bill Kurtis, and people may or may not be surprised by why Kurtis who is 85 years old decided to write the book "Whirlwind: My Life Reporting the News" now. "What prompted it, was a fear that my tombstone would have 'Anchorman, The Movie' written on it because so many people now say 'oh yeah, you were the narrator in that movie,' and I like to say 'you know, I did a lot more -- like 60 years -- before that movie came along," explains Kurtis.

Thaioronióhte Dan David (Kanehsatà:ke Mohawk) launched the news department for Canada's Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN). In doing so, he gave Indigenous voices a national public platform they did not previously have. He started his career with the CBC covering the Yukon Territory. He reported on the Oka Crisis, among many other historic events. After establishing APTN News, he spent a decade reshaping a national newsroom in post-apartheid South Africa. We’ll speak with David's family, friends and colleagues about his many accomplishments and the importance of putting Indigenous voices front and center in news coverage. We’ll also hear from a founder of the Lakota Times newspaper on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. The independent weekly newspaper ceased publication this month after decades in operation, leaving a blank space for Native news in the Great Plains region.

Synopsis:  A crime against journalism': Tune in as experts dissect corporate media's priorities - serving shareholders or informing voters?This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription:  Journalism is at an inflection point. Under a hail of lawsuits, firings, new hires, and mercenary mergers, the business of media is in shambles even as the need for reliable, truthful information to reach voters is greater than ever. Where does that leave journalists? In this episode, Laura and her guests discuss the money media's dangerous denials and obfuscations, the problem with bothsidesism in a time of fascism, and the coverage of Renee Good's killing in Minneapolis. Dean Obeidallah is a lawyer, writer, award-winning comedian and host of SiriusXM radio's national daily program “The Dean Obeidallah Show”. Joy Reid, formerly host of the award-winning ReidOut on MSNBC, is a best-selling author, and host of the Joy Reid Show on YouTube. The decline of legacy media isn't all bad news — especially for those, like Palestinians and others, who were always shut out of it — and the rise of independent platforms, savvy media consumers and new mechanisms for collaboration just might usher in a new age of great journalism, just when we need it. Join Dean, Joy and Laura for this rich conversation on resistance, reporting, and survival.  [This conversation was recorded on January 14, 2026]“What I would like corporate media to understand, their job is not to make money for shareholders and executives to get bonuses, but serve the people, make them smarter, even if it means losing access. I know that's a lot to ask, but that's what I would like because an educated, informed electorate is the key to saving this republic.” - Dean Obeidallah“It is a crime against journalism for the editorial director of a news network to say our job is not to deliver the news, but to go viral. That's crazy.”- Joy ReidGuests:•  Dean Obeidallah: Host of SiriusXM radio's The Dean Obeidallah Show• Joy Reid: Host of The Joy Reid ShowWatch the episode released on YouTube; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).
