Podcasts about journalists

What if the best defense against misinformation isn't panic, but a punchline? Journalist and comedian Dave Jorgenson explores how misinformation has proliferated throughout history — from the age of Plato to the era of viral TikToks. With his own short, absurdist sketches that explain the news, he shows how humor can cut through fear, spark curiosity and explore nuanced truth.Learn more about our flagship conference happening this April at attend.ted.com/podcast Hosted on Acast.

New Book: Lost in Time — Our Forgotten and Vanishing Knowledge | An Interview with Jack R. Bialik | An Analog Brain In A Digital Age With Marco Ciappelli There's a particular arrogance embedded in how we talk about progress. We speak about innovation as if it moves in one direction only — forward, upward, smarter, faster. But what if the line isn't straight? What if it loops, doubles back, and occasionally vanishes entirely? That's the uncomfortable question at the center of my conversation with Jack R. Bialik. His book Lost in Time: Our Forgotten and Vanishing Knowledge doesn't read like a history lesson. It reads like a case file — evidence, example by example, that the civilization we assume is the most advanced in human history is also, in some critical ways, deeply amnesiac. Take cataract surgery. We learned it in the 1700s, right? Except we didn't. Indians were performing it in 800 BC. The ancient Egyptians and Babylonians had diagrams of the procedure dating back to 2,400 BCE. The knowledge existed, worked, and then — somewhere in the chaos of collapsing empires and burning libraries — it vanished. We didn't progress past it. We forgot it, and then reinvented it from scratch, centuries later, convinced we were doing something new. Or the Baghdad Battery: clay pots, 2,000 years old, that when filled with acid can generate 1.1 volts of electricity. We don't know what they used them for. We don't know who figured it out. We just know it worked, it existed, and then it didn't anymore. This is what Bialik calls the pattern of loss — and it's not random. It follows catastrophe: the Library of Alexandria, the systematic destruction of Mayan records, the slow erosion of oral traditions as writing systems took over. Knowledge disappears when the systems that carry it collapse. And here's where the conversation gets uncomfortably relevant: we are building those systems right now, and we are not thinking about how long they'll last. The curator at the Computer History Museum told Bialik that to preserve the data from early IBM PCs and Macintosh computers, they had to print it on paper. The floppy drives had become brittle. The formats were unreadable. The digital archive was failing — and the only solution was to go analog. A vinyl record from the 1920s still plays. A CD from the 1980s may not survive another decade. I've been thinking about this since we recorded. My brain is analog — that's not just a podcast title, it's a philosophy. I grew up in Florence, surrounded by things that had survived centuries because they were made to last: stone, fresco, manuscript. Then I jumped on the digital train like everyone else, seduced by infinite libraries on my phone, music on demand, knowledge at my fingertips. But what Bialik is pointing out is that fingertips are fragile. And so are hard drives. The deeper issue isn't storage format. It's the distinction Bialik draws between knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is the data — the cataract surgery technique, the battery design, the pyramid engineering. Wisdom is knowing why it matters, when to use it, and what the consequences might be. We've gotten extraordinarily good at accumulating knowledge. We are considerably worse at transmitting wisdom. And wisdom, Bialik argues, doesn't live in databases. It lives in the space between people — in stories, in teaching, in the slow transmission of judgment across generations. That's why oral tradition survived when everything else failed. Not because it was more sophisticated, but because it was more human. It didn't require a device to run on. I don't know how to solve the digital longevity problem. Neither does Bialik — not yet. But I think the first step is admitting we have one. That's actually one of the quietest, most powerful arguments in the book: be humble. We don't know everything. We never did. And some of the things we've lost might be exactly what we need right now. The question isn't just what we've forgotten. It's what we're forgetting today, while we're too busy scrolling to notice. Grab Lost in Time: Our Forgotten and Vanishing Knowledge — link below — and spend some time with a perspective that goes very, very far back. Which is maybe the only way to see very, very far forward.   And if this kind of conversation is what you come here for, subscribe to the newsletter at marcociappelli.com.  More of this.

⚖️ Need a lawyer? Check out the Bytes Law Group here! https://bytes.law Logan Paul claims Coffeezilla isn't a journalist under Texas law. This is important because, if the court agrees, Coffeezilla can't use the journalist's privilege to protect thousands of documents that Paul wants from him. In this video, we're going over why Paul is wrong. Logan Paul v. Coffeezilla Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbQVtXJ42xmgK-q-z8tbezUbVTHPMGmXc CONTEXT: After Coffeezilla exposed Sam Bankman-Fried and the collapse of FTX, he turned his sights on Logan Paul's crypto NFT project, Cryptozoo.

He followed this with an episode of his podcast, Impaulsive, where he repeated the same threat. He then took down both videos and reached out to Coffeezilla to inform him that he's no longer pursuing litigation--but then, on June 27, 2024, he sued him anyway. Interestingly enough, this was after Logan Paul was sued (along with a number of other defendants) by a group of CryptoZoo investors in a class action case alleging fraud and 26 other causes of action.

There was a time, not so long ago, when the fate of the planet hinged on the stern glare of a Scandinavian teenager.World leaders trembled. Journalists genuflected. Schoolchildren skipped algebra to chant in the streets. And at the center of this eco-theatrical hurricane stood Greta Thunberg, who, despite not yet being old enough to rent a car, was apparently qualified to repossess Western civilization.She was the Left's Joan of Arc, except instead of hearing voices she heard carbon emissions. Every time someone started a lawnmower, somewhere a cable news producer lit a candle in her honor. Politicians who could not balance a municipal budget suddenly discovered they could forecast global temperatures in the year 2087. And corporations, terrified of being labeled climate criminals, lined up to sponsor the apocalypse.And then, almost imperceptibly at first, the roar quieted.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When a newsroom can't hire reporters, the problem isn't always pay — sometimes it's rent. In one coastal community, the cost of living got so high that journalists simply couldn't afford to cover the news. So instead of raising salaries or cutting coverage, the solution took an unexpected turn: they bought a condo. It's a bold move that may point to a new model for keeping local journalism alive.

In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, Carter Roy investigates the mysterious death of journalist Danny Casolaro, who was found dead in a West Virginia hotel room in 1991 just as he claimed to be on the verge of exposing a vast global conspiracy he called “the Octopus.” Danny believed powerful government officials, intelligence agencies, and criminal networks were secretly connected through stolen software, covert weapons programs, and international corruption. After his death was ruled a suicide, his most critical files vanished—fueling decades of suspicion. Was Danny unraveling under pressure, or was he silenced for getting too close to the truth?

Megyn Kelly, journalist & Host of The Megyn Kelly Show, makes her return to the morning show to discuss backlash she's received in recent months for her content, saying she has no need to defend herself and that public figures routinely face “hit” accusations. Sid and Megyn discuss Kelly's recent show growth and then a story she covered involving Savannah Guthrie's book describing a childhood “kidnapping game,” recent reporting that someone searched for Nancy Guthrie's address and house image on a date police requested camera footage, and a Today Show segment featuring the family—details they say could support a theory of a stalker or obsessed fan/hater. The conversation shifts to the Epstein files: both say they want anyone guilty of abusing minors jailed, but Kelly says she is interested rather than consumed, and after reviewing reporting and team analysis she sees a disturbing culture of wealthy, powerful men exploiting young women and looking the other way after Epstein's conviction. Kelly criticizes bipartisan hypocrisy and highlights Howard Lutnick as an example, alleging he misrepresented his past interactions with Epstein despite later visiting Epstein's island and doing business with him.

The silence surrounding Stacey Plaskett's lawsuit by Epstein survivors exposes the staggering hypocrisy of both lawmakers and the legacy media. Politicians who pound the table about justice and accountability fall mute when the accusations land inside their own chamber. Journalists who dissect every lurid detail of Epstein's life suddenly find no headlines when survivors point to a sitting member of Congress. This selective outrage isn't oversight—it's complicity. Survivors are abandoned the moment their stories threaten insiders, and the system shows once again that accountability is conditional, not principled.That selective accountability corrodes credibility and turns justice into theater. By politicizing the scandal, lawmakers use survivors as pawns while letting the real villains—Epstein's network of enablers—slip quietly back into the shadows. The result is a collapse of trust: citizens see investigations as performance, predators learn power protects power, and survivors are betrayed all over again. Epstein may be dead and Maxwell imprisoned, but the system that shielded them is alive and well—sustained by cowardice, silence, and the hypocrisy of institutions that pretend to defend justice while practicing selective blindness.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Recorded live at a SAND Community Gathering (Feb 2026) Dr. Samah Jabr, a Palestinian psychiatrist and author of Radiance in Pain and Resilience, joins Dr. Mays Imad (with questions from the audience chat) for a conversation about what it means to stay human when the structures meant to protect people are the ones doing the harm. Drawing on decades of clinical work inside the occupation, Dr. Jabr moves past the “sanitized” versions of trauma to speak directly to the heart of colonial harm in Palestine. Central to this dialogue is an exploration of the deep ontological differences between Western psychiatric models and Palestinian lived experience. While Western frameworks often pathologize the individual through the lens of PTSD, Dr. Jabr introduces the concept of iptila—viewing tribulations through a framework of agency, faith, and collective endurance. She challenges the frequent romanticization of sumud (steadfastness), reframing it not as a poetic trope, but as a grueling relational practice and an ethical refusal to disappear when everything conspires toward Palestinian erasure. In a reality where the harm never ends, memory becomes a battlefield, grief a form of testimony, bearing witness an active refusal to normalize the unacceptable, and storytelling a vital survival infrastructure against the assassination of memory.

Send a textWant to know how a journalist turns a region into a calling and a career? We sit down with bilingual writer and editor Carly Rojas Avila to unpack how she built a trusted niche in Latin American travel, food, and spirits—earning bylines with Forbes, Travel + Leisure, and hundreds of syndications—while keeping her work deeply human in a noisy media world.Carly traces her path from storytelling in marketing to reporting across Colombia, Argentina, Cuba, and Ecuador, explaining why narrowing her focus actually expanded opportunity. We explore Medellín's energy and innovation, Ecuador's overlooked mainland beyond the Galápagos, and how local kitchens and bars act as cultural translators. Carly shares why interviews beat email quotes, how chefs and bartenders carry memory and identity, and what makes a pitch stand out in travel and spirits: a clear why, timely context, and respect for the reader.We also dive into building direct lines to audiences with two new Substacks—one connecting PR and media needs, the other a home for Latin American travel insights that don't fit traditional formats. Carly offers candid advice on starting newsletters without editor guardrails, staying anchored to a personal why to avoid burnout, and setting smart criteria for press trips when time and attention are scarce. She closes with the growth that comes from living abroad, learning Spanish on the street as much as in class, and stretching into new outlets—including her first published story in Spanish.If you care about travel journalism, culinary storytelling, or pitching that actually gets read, this conversation delivers practical takeaways and fresh perspective.

In dieser Folge von „Ganz offen gesagt“ spricht Host Stefan Lassnig mit Satiriker, Buchautor und Podcaster Florian Scheuba, warum Kriminelle und korrupte Politiker immer wieder Sympathien genießen und wie sich Korruption in den letzten Jahrzehnten verändert hat. Scheuba erklärt, warum er Donald Trump eher als Gauner denn als Entertainer sieht und wie schwer es Satire inzwischen hat, wenn die politische Realität oft absurder wirkt als jede Bühnenpointe. Anhand von Fällen wie Peter Hochegger, dem „Wo war meine Leistung?“-Satz oder dem Birnbacher-Gutachten zeigt er, wie Satire komplexe Affären auf einen einprägsamen Punkt bringen kann, den viele Menschen plötzlich verstehen. Ein zentrales Thema ist die wachsende Desinformation: autoritäre Akteure wollen weniger überzeugen, als vielmehr bewirken, dass „eh alle lügen“ und niemand mehr Wahrheit von Lüge unterscheiden kann. Scheuba kritisiert „False Balance“ in Talkshows, in denen Klimaleugner:innen wissenschaftlichen Positionen gleichgestellt werden, und betont seinen Leitsatz „Eine Lüge ist keine Meinung“. Ausführlich thematisiert er seine nicht rechtskräftige Verurteilung wegen einer Kolumne, warnt vor Einschüchterungsklagen gegen Journalist:innen und schildert, wie solche Urteile Meinungsfreiheit und Kritik an Amtsträgern massiv einschränken können. Im Gespräch geht es auch um die strukturelle „Aufrüstung“ der politischen PR gegenüber einem ökonomisch geschwächten Journalismus und um die Rolle sozialer Medien und KI bei der Aushöhlung eines gemeinsamen Wahrheitsbegriffs. Am Ende diskutieren Lassnig und Scheuba, was jede und jeder tun kann – von der Unterstützung seriöser Medien über Medienkompetenz bis zur Wertschätzung von Demokratie – und warum Humor für Scheuba eine Form von „Satire als Notwehr“ gegen Angst und Resignation ist.Links zur Folge:Interview von "profil" mit Florian ScheubaBuch "Schrödingers Ente" von Florian ScheubaPodcast "Ganz offen gesagt" über "8 Tische für die vierte Gewalt"Podcast "Die Dunkelkammer" - Auftakt zur Serie über Peter HocheggerPodcastempfehlung der Woche:Podcast "Scheuba fragt nach" (FALTER) Wir würden uns sehr freuen, wenn Du "Ganz offen gesagt" auf einem der folgenden Wege unterstützt:Werde Unterstützer:in auf SteadyKaufe ein Premium-Abo auf AppleKaufe Artikel in unserem FanshopSchalte Werbung in unserem PodcastFeedback bitte an redaktion@ganzoffengesagt.atTranskripte und Fotos zu den Folgen findest Du auf podcastradio.at

Economic Journalist Charles Gasparino joins the program to discuss his criticism of the Super Bowl halftime show featuring Bad Bunny and discusses his column arguing the NFL believes it is “bulletproof” compared with other companies that “go woke, go broke.” Gasparino says the league cynically assumes its core football audience is highly addicted—especially through fantasy sports and online gambling—so it can virtue signal to attract new demographics, including international and Spanish-speaking audiences as it expands games abroad. He cites Super Bowl viewership declines after the halftime show and contrasts it with an alternative broadcast that drew about 6 million viewers versus roughly 135 million for the Super Bowl. The conversation then shifts to New York City finances, where Gasparino warns that under the Financial Emergency Control Act of 1975 the city must balance its budget using GAAP; if it ends the year in deficit and the mayor cannot raise income taxes or cut spending, the state could take over the city's finances, potentially transferring key control to Governor Kathy Hochul.

Sixteen days. No arrest. And a growing list of investigative decisions that defense attorney Bob Motta says could haunt prosecutors at trial.The Nancy Guthrie case has captured national attention—partly because her niece is Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie, but increasingly because of what's going wrong with the investigation itself.The crime scene was reportedly released early. Journalists photographed what appeared to be blood on the front porch before authorities scrambled to re-secure it. The FBI allegedly wanted critical DNA evidence sent to their Quantico lab; Sheriff Chris Nanos reportedly refused and sent it to a private Florida facility instead. An FBI source called it "dumb" and "insane."Then there's the glove problem. Of sixteen gloves collected near the home, fifteen were reportedly discarded by the searchers themselves—contamination that gives any defense attorney a roadmap to reasonable doubt.Bob Motta explains how each of these vulnerabilities translates into courtroom strategy. He breaks down the legal exposure facing Derrick Callella, charged with sending fake ransom texts to exploit the family's nightmare. He examines what Friday's SWAT detention—and Saturday's release of all four individuals—means for future prosecution.And he addresses the devastating human element: 84-year-old Nancy reportedly requires daily heart medication she hasn't had for over two weeks. If the worst happens, her medical vulnerability could elevate charges dramatically.This is what the prosecution will face when charges finally come—and what the defense will use to fight back.#NancyGuthrie #TrueCrimeToday #SavannahGuthrie #DefenseStrategy #InvestigationErrors #TucsonMissing #FBICase #CrimeSceneEvidence #LegalAnalysis #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

No arrest has been made in the Nancy Guthrie disappearance—but defense attorney Bob Motta says the prosecution's case may already be damaged.The Pima County Sheriff's Office reportedly released the crime scene early. Journalists photographed what appeared to be blood droplets on the porch before it was re-secured. Evidence that the FBI allegedly wanted processed at Quantico was sent to a private Florida lab instead. And of the sixteen gloves collected near the home, fifteen were reportedly contamination from the search team itself.These aren't minor procedural issues. They're the foundation of a defense strategy that could create reasonable doubt before opening statements conclude.Bob Motta walks us through how he would attack this case from the defense table. The jurisdictional fight over evidence handling. The contaminated evidence field. The early crime scene release. Each vulnerability represents a line of attack that any competent defense attorney will exploit.We also examine the Derrick Callella situation—charged with transmitting fake ransom demands after allegedly "trying to see if the family would respond." The Friday SWAT operation that detained four people, including a confirmed person of interest, only to release everyone by Saturday morning. And the heartbreaking medical reality that 84-year-old Nancy reportedly needs daily heart medication she hasn't had for over two weeks.Inside sources are reportedly telling media this looks like a burglary gone wrong rather than planned kidnapping. That theory changes everything about charging decisions and legal exposure.When an arrest finally comes, this interview will be essential viewing.#NancyGuthrie #GuthrieCase #DefenseStrategy #CrimeSceneErrors #PimaCountySheriff #FBIQuantico #KidnappingCase #TrueCrimeAnalysis #LegalBreakdown #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Aaron Parnas joins The Great Battlefield podcast to talk about his career as a Lawyer turned Independent Journalist, where he distills the news into comprehensible chunks.

The silence surrounding Stacey Plaskett's lawsuit by Epstein survivors exposes the staggering hypocrisy of both lawmakers and the legacy media. Politicians who pound the table about justice and accountability fall mute when the accusations land inside their own chamber. Journalists who dissect every lurid detail of Epstein's life suddenly find no headlines when survivors point to a sitting member of Congress. This selective outrage isn't oversight—it's complicity. Survivors are abandoned the moment their stories threaten insiders, and the system shows once again that accountability is conditional, not principled.That selective accountability corrodes credibility and turns justice into theater. By politicizing the scandal, lawmakers use survivors as pawns while letting the real villains—Epstein's network of enablers—slip quietly back into the shadows. The result is a collapse of trust: citizens see investigations as performance, predators learn power protects power, and survivors are betrayed all over again. Epstein may be dead and Maxwell imprisoned, but the system that shielded them is alive and well—sustained by cowardice, silence, and the hypocrisy of institutions that pretend to defend justice while practicing selective blindness.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

When Town Topics magazine appeared in the 1880s, Gilded Age New Yorkers enjoyed its coverage of the arts, culture, and social scene of balls, opera, and grand parties. But there was another element in the mix—the often salacious, sensationalized, scandalous coverage of the drama of the gilded set in the publisher's column “Saunterings.” Using a network of informants across the city, the publisher, Colonel William D'Alton Mann, frequently printed implied gossip about "The Four Hundred" — unless, of course, he was paid to keep it out of his pages.Town Topics became a blackmail and extortion scheme for Mann—until a dramatic sting operation involving the husband of future etiquette writer Emily Post exposed it all. Journalist and author Joe Pompeo joins the Gilded Gentleman table to delve into Town Topics and all of its scandals and true crimes.This episode was edited and produced by Kieran Gannon.For other true-crime newspaper-themed shows, listen to the recent Bowery Boys podcasts on the disappearance of Judge Crater and the Subway Vigilante shooting.

Lori Harrison-Kahan and Jane Carr, editors of a brand new collection of Garver Jordan's work, join us to discuss her courtroom dispatches, her connection to today's #MeToo movement and how her “invisible labor” shaped the writing of literary giants like Sinclair Lewis and Henry James. Mentioned in this EpisodeASU/FIDM screening of Virginia Faulkner's "Bridal Suite" followed by a Q&A with Brad BigelowHer Life in Ink: Elizabeth Jordan, Journalist, Editor and Mystery Author by Sharon Harris The Case of Lizzie Borden & Other Writings by Jane Carr and Lori Harrison-KahanElizabeth Garver Jordan's work:The Sturdy OakThe Whole Family The Lady of PentlandsThree Rousing Cheers“Ruth Herrick's Assignment”“The Cry of the Pack”The Superwoman and Other Writings by Miriam MichelsonHeirs of Yesterday by Emma WolfThe New York WorldNellie BlyThe Lizzie Borden caseThe Lizzie Borden house in Fall River, Mass.Harper's BazaarHarper and BrothersSupport the showFor episodes and show notes, visit: LostLadiesofLit.comSubscribe to our substack newsletter.
