Podcasts about Lowdown

After writing his latest exposé about the family of a gubernatorial candidate, journalist, used book seller, and self-styled “truthstorian” Lee Raybon learns that Donald Washberg's brother has shot himself. But notes from Dale Washberg, tucked into paperbacks, lead Lee to suspect things are not as they seem. With the help of his eccentric acquaintances, Lee searches for a connection between Washberg, a group of skinheads, a cabal of wealthy Oklahomans, and a series of suspicious real estate deals. He also tries to balance his relationships with a conniving widow, his ex-wife, and his pre-teen daughter, who's looking for her father's attention.Ethan Hawke stars in “The Lowdown,” from FX and available on Hulu. The quirky journalist navigates Tulsa's political world—and its underworld—to learn whether Dale Washberg's death was suicide or homicide… all while dodging hate groups, juggling his faltering business, and fumbling his personal relationships.OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "THE LOWDOWN" BEGIN IN THE FINAL NINE MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.

As one who ekes out a modest living running my mouth on radio and Substack, I hesitate to critique others who do the same – even though I might disagree entirely and emphatically with them.But occasionally, I see influential purveyors of conventional wisdom tromping into my area of real-life experience, pushing some political nonsense that is not only wrong, but delusive. That's when I intrude.Like now, a whole posse of pundits is bellowing these days that Democrats have only one path forward to avoid perpetual defeat by MAGA Republicans: “Shift to the right!” For example, New York Times right-wing sermonizer Ross Douthat, recently proclaimed that the wisdom of Democrats “repositioning” their issues and message away from progressivism “ought to be plain to anyone with eyes.” To which I say: Bovine excrement.What's plain to most voters (and especially to fed-up nonvoters) is that cynical partisan shiftiness is what's wrong with both parties, creating a plutocratic realpolitik run by and for avaricious moneyed powers. I'm no New York Times pontificator, but my ground-level experience in Texas tells me that what common people really want is not more precisely-calculated positioning, but an honest stand on “little-d” democratic principle. Say what you believe… and do it!On the very day that the Times ran a Douthat column lecturing Democrats on how to “play politics,” Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor of New York City. He won by running an aggressively-progressive campaign against corporate elites, exciting the city's widely-ignored working-class and poor voters. Instead of trying to manipulate the electorate, Mamdani expanded and inspired it. That is plainly the Democratic Party's future.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's The Lowdown. The show has great casting and writing, even if the plot is a bit hard to follow (that's why Lee needs a big ol' murder board to keep track of it all). Mentioned: Scott Shepherd as menacing, fleece vest-wearing Allen Murphy.Next Wednesday, we'll continue with season 1, episode 3, "Dinosaur Memories." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.

Years ago, Woody Guthrie wrote “Mean Talking Blues,” a stinging satire of malicious right-wing officials who take perverse pleasure in demonizing, holding down, and punishing poor people:“I'm a big disasterJust goin' some place to happenI'm an organized famineStudying how I can be a little bit meanerI laugh my loudestWhen other people cryI hate everybody don't think like meI'm just mean.”What a perfect theme song for Trump's “Project 2025” – a MAGA crusade to stomp on millions of America's poorest families, trying to deny them access to the most basic human needs.Needs like… food. Brooke Rollins, Trump's multi-millionaire agriculture secretary, made crude political jokes about poor people during the GOP's government shutdown, laughing as she schemed to cut off their food stamps. She was an “organized famine,” illegally maneuvering to deny food for 42 million hard-hit American citizens.In addition, Project 2025 operatives want to yank health coverage from the poor – and just for meanness – they propose killing the modest program that helps impoverished families afford to have heat in their homes.Meanwhile, Trump poses as The Great Gatsby, living in tacky opulence, while ignoring the economic mess and rank inequality created by his Roaring 20s plutocratic presidency. Indeed, the inequality is widening as he doles out hundreds of billions of our tax dollars in new giveaways to billionaires (including to his own sons).Far from “Making America Great Again,” Trump's most tangible achievement is to have had the White House's Lincoln bathroom remodeled. And, in a royal touch, Trump even had a chandelier installed above the toilet. Imagine how proud Honest Abe would be.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

Oh, happy day! Thanksgiving, I mean – our annual pause for family gatherings to celebrate the rich and tasty diversity of America's harvests.There is, however, something decidedly distasteful that has steadily been forcing its way onto our dinner tables: Raw monopoly power. This concentration of market control in the hands of a few domineering conglomerates is decimating farm families, swindling food industry workers, and gouging consumers. Economists have a technical term for what food industry profiteers are doing to us: The term is “stealing.”Farmers know the evil of unrestrained monopolists all too well, for they are relentlessly squeezed by two sets of them. First, everything they must buy to produce food – from seed to tractors – is controlled by non-competitive giants that charge rip-off prices. Second, when selling their products, farmers and ranchers are boxed-in by corporate cartels that only offer take-it-or-leave-it, go-broke prices.Then, this same anti-competitive system turns on us consumers, charging grossly-inflated grocery prices that give them monopoly profits and even more market power.This Thanksgiving dinner is a good time to tally up the ever-widening monopoly spread separating you from farmers:* A Butterball turkey costing you $2.42 a pound, pays the farmer 6 cents per pound.* Potatoes costing $4 a bag returns only 55 cents to farmers.* Wheat farmers only get 13 cents from a $4.50 loaf of whole wheat bread.* Top sirloin steak cost $16.50 per pound, but ranchers get under $4.* Even simple lettuce is $2 to you, but pays only 29 cents to farmers.The very idea of Thanksgiving is that We're All In This Together. So let's get together and bust these greedheaded monopolies. For connections, go to Family Farm Action: farmaction.us.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and as of this week, that's The Lowdown.

Mentioned: Duster, Perry Mason, Alan Sepinwall's review of this episode.Next Wednesday, we'll continue with season 1, episode 2, "The Devil's Mama." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.​This episode was recorded in front of a live audience ... of dogs.

What are the biggest red flags in today's marketing strategies? In this episode of Building Brand Advocacy, recorded live at our New York Brand Advocacy Summit, Verity hosts a panel of six social strategists and brand leaders to battle it out over what's real, what's noise, and what's next in social, culture, and creators.What You'll Learn:

An 1887 critic of Britain's government rightly proclaimed that “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” For today's American government, though, that adage needs a small but significant amendment: Money corrupts, and absolute money corrupts absolutely.”Washington's pay-to-play game has long been used by corporate powers to buy particular government favors, but now the money corruption “game” is so routine, so massive, and so flagrant that it has become the government. The likes of Big Oil, Elon Musk, Wall Street lords, and high-tech hucksters buy politicians in bulk, literally usurping the people's authority to over public policy.But what can we do about it, especially since Democratic Party officials also plays this plutocratic game? Well, Zohran Mamdani showed us one solution last week with his grassroots populist victory over New York's Big Money establishment to become the city's mayor.He ran a true people's campaign on progressive issues and values – which he was able to do because of a populist campaign funding option the city initiated years ago called small donor public financing. This alternative provides matching dollars from a public fund for candidates who rely on small donations from regular citizens, rather than begging for big bucks from billionaires.In Mamdani's case, his unabashed progressivism excited long-ignored working-class voters, who contributed a few dollars each. Then, the public match added up to $13 million – enough to get his message out and organize turnout. Though he was still outspent four to one, the small donor fund provided the margin he needed to be competitive in a big race.So far, public financing options have been adopted in 17 jurisdictions, from Arizona to Maine, Seattle to Baltimore.

How about some good news for a change? News that has nothing to do with Donald Whatzizname. News you might even use.It's about “The Library of Things,” a real library, but different. Just as our public libraries share a wealth of publications – this one in Brunswick, Maine, also maintains a wealth of tools, devices, equipment, and other “things” for people to check-out, use, and return.Hazel Onsrud, a creative, can-do spirit on the staff of Brunswick's Curtis Memorial Library, initiated this commonwealth of some 1,500 products that locals can borrow for free. The New York Times reports that residents are flocking to this pragmatic, beneficial resource for the common good. And why wouldn't they? After all, not everyone can afford a $350 KitchenAid mixer of their own, and a roto-tiller you might use once a year could be shared by many. Also, a bullhorn, a grain mill, a ukulele, an embossing machine – seriously, we should borrow, rather than thinking each of us must buy and store these things… or do without.This concept reduces each family's expenses, waste, and accumulation of “stuff,” while advancing cooperation and community. And the public library infrastructure is already in place to make it available.This idea is not new, nor is it unique to Brunswick. In fact, America's progressive populist movement of the 1870s built an entire economic alternative to corporate monopoly around this very concept. And today, some 2,000 “libraries-of-things” are already functioning worldwide, giving ordinary people a grassroots way to avoid profiteering, corporate consumerism.Hazel Onsrud has issued a challenge to us: “If a few of us can do this in Maine,” she says “anyone can.” And you and I are the anyones to do it.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

Welcome to November, YFT'ers — where the clocks are confusing, daylight gets banked, and the months make no sense. Why is October the 10th month when “octa” means eight?? Somebody call the damn Romans. Brandi's had quite the week at the animal farm — horses fighting over toys and Happy the dog taking a very unhappy (and almost $5K!) trip to the emergency vet.Meanwhile, Wells and Sarah's Halloween couples costume was long-distance perfection, the Louvre heist keeps giving us Hollywood-worthy updates, and Wells has serious questions about blood color. Blue or red — what side are you on? In the fave things round-up, Brandi's got thoughts: House of Dynamite? “Hated it.” Weapons? “Spooky and good.” Plus some top picks like The Last Frontier, Welcome to Derry, and The Lowdown.

An essential part of our children's education is learning proper moral behavior. And who better to deliver that ethical guidance than politicians?Huh? Bizarre, yet this is the conclusion of the GOP's theocratic Christian Nationalist faction. They are demanding that legislatures across the country must intervene in local educational policy to require that all public schools plaster every classroom with Christianity's Ten Commandments. It's in-your-face religiosity, forcing one religious dogma on students of every faith. It's also ludicrously hypocritical – after all, legislators are notorious for committing adultery, stealing from the poor, killing in the name of the state, bearing false witness against immigrants, bowing down to false gods… and otherwise mocking the Christian religion's own commandments. Who do these nationalists and their politicians think they're fooling?Certainly not America's free-thinking students. If you wonder whether young people will just go along, take heart in the uplifting thoughts of Arjun Sharda, a high-school freshman in Round Rock, Texas. In a recent op-ed piece, he went right at the humbuggery of the state's Republican leaders: “The same lawmakers who preach about freedom and limited government,” he wrote, “are now legislating what we must hang on our classroom walls... But faith loses its power when it's forced. True belief comes from conviction, not compulsion… Texas prides itself in independence, yet this law enforces conformity.”The Christian Nationalist autocrats are not only trying to turn public classrooms into their exclusive pulpits, but to establish their repressive theology as America's official religion. As Sharda warns, “Texas should stop confusing religion with righteousness – before the wall between church and state becomes just another thing we've torn down.”Do something!To work on the fight to keep church and state actually separate, check out the Freedom from Religion Foundation at ffrf.org.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.
