Podcasts about Meltdown

A collective sigh of relief was exhaled across the nation as Derek Chauvin was found guilty on all charges. Typically the reaction between the right and left shows just how deeply fractured the nation has become. At the heart of all this are the racist MAGA conspiracies being spun about how Black Lives Matter threatened to burn down American cities if Chauvin was not found guilty. Tucker Carlson melts down on air about the subject while claiming that Chauvin was lynched by the left. You can't make this stuff up. Unfortunately, it's what many believe. Finally, Michael speaks with Jane Mayer, the New Yorker's Washington Correspondent about the very latest in the New York DA's case against Donald Trump.To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policyLearn more about your ad choices.

It's been a box office and critical success, and theatres are packed to the brim for weeks to come as audiences pack cinemas to go see Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey". But if you spend much time on Elon Musk's X, formerly twitter, this information might surprise you. That's because Musk has been championing an online, right-wing movement to boycott the movie because of its casting diversity. He claims the movie-- based on a work of fiction-- is 'historically inaccurate'. Musk even threatened to make his own version of the myth using his AI bot Grok. But despite getting lots of attention on social media, Musk's boycott has clearly not worked.   Host Caryn Ceolin is speaking with Sadaf Ahsan, co-host of "The Reheat" podcast, about Musk's meltdown, casting decisions in Hollywood, and why this movie has found success.  "The Reheat" podcast: The Reheat - Seekr Sadaf's article: Shut Up About The Odyssey's Casting Already | The Juggernaut We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

President Trump is very unpopular right now. But polls show the Democratic Party is just as unpopular – if not more so. So what can the party do about it?  But to answer that question, you first have to understand what the Democratic Party is. That is, mechanically, what is it? What powers does it have? When you call the Democratic Party, who picks up the phone? And how can that party, the official party, be reinvented for this era? Ben Wikler has a unique perspective on this question. He transformed the Democratic Party of Wisconsin into a fund-raising, door-knocking powerhouse when he served as chair from 2019 to 2025. And he's shared some of his insights from winning elections in a swing state in his new book, “This Is The Plan: How to End America's Meltdown and Save Democracy.” In this conversation, we discuss Wikler's vision for a reinvigorated party, as well as the kinds of changes he thinks Democrats need to embrace if they want to build a bigger tent and a national majority.  Mentioned: “This Is How Democrats Win in Wisconsin” with Ben Wikler on The Ezra Klein Show “GOP midterm strategy: Make it a ‘hate election'” by Marc Caputo Book Recommendations: Master of the Senate by Robert A.

The Christopher Nolan celebration march barrels forward as Andy and Ash dive headfirst into the director's colossal new behemoth, The Odyssey — a film so dense, so operatic, and so cosmically wound that even the lads need a breather before tackling its temporal labyrinths. Thankfully, the Cagey Awards return to bring some '90s Cruise clarity, as the boys start charting Tom's evolution from Hollywood's golden boy to full‑tilt blockbuster deity.This week's Short Short Film Film Review spotlights Finding Daddy, a darkly funny, sharply observed short about two sisters confronting their estranged father after discovering his sleazy sugar‑daddy persona online. It's messy, lived‑in, and balances bleak realism with a strangely triumphant edge, as the girls wrestle with the gap between the dad they imagined and the one they actually get.Finally, the Cruise cruise hits choppy waters — and then fully runs aground — as the lads confront Mission: Impossible II. Doves, leather jackets, slow‑motion gunplay, and an entire ocean of Woo‑isms collide with Tom's most chaotic franchise detour. Will Andy and Ash find hidden brilliance beneath the operatic nonsense, or does this mission simply self‑destruct?With the usual blend of silliness, seriousness, and a crucial Scientology Watch check‑in, it's time once again to take Cruise Control.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles dive into a week that reveals Donald Trump's deepest fixations and growing political vulnerabilities, from his unwavering obsession with tariffs to the mounting risks surrounding RFK Jr., soaring measles cases, and a White House increasingly consumed by its own crises. They debate whether Trump's widely criticized appearance at the White House Correspondents' Dinner was a show of confidence or desperation, reveal why one long-dead television host may still have more influence over Trump than anyone in his inner circle, and examine what rising oil prices, Iran, and the midterm elections could mean for his presidency. Plus, they break down Trump's surprising embrace of Darline Graham and the politics behind her rapid rise, the strange role of health supplements in MAGA, the chaos surrounding JD Vance, and the revealing clues that point to what may really be happening inside the president's mind.

Ben Wikler, political organizer and former chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, joins Kara to discuss his new book, “This Is the Plan: How to End America's Meltdown and Save Democracy.” Drawing on the grassroots strategies that helped Democrats restore a competitive democracy  in Wisconsin, he lays out a national plan to defeat Trumpism and halt America's slide toward authoritarianism. That starts, he argues, with building a year-round organizing operation capable of competing in races at every level of government. They also discuss the Democratic Party's internal divisions, the future of the filibuster and structural reforms including a national popular vote, a national ban on partisan gerrymandering and Supreme Court term limits. Plus: how election officials should prepare for President Trump's attempts to interfere with the midterms. Questions? Comments?

Ben Wikler has spent his career moving between comedy and politics, communication and organizing. Growing up in Madison, Wisconsin, a city shaped by civic engagement, academic inquiry, and the satirical spirit that gave rise to The Onion, he developed a worldview in which humor isn't a distraction from democracy, but one of the ways people learn to trust one another enough to participate in it. Wikler has become one of the country's most closely watched political organizers. He was the chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin from 2019-2025, and is the author of This Is the Plan: How to End America's Meltdown and Save Democracy. But this conversation isn't about campaign tactics or election cycles. Instead, it's about the values and experiences that shaped him: the Wisconsin Idea, the role of humor in public life, the changing media landscape, and why curiosity, optimism, and solidarity remain essential ingredients of democratic life. Recorded at the Madison home where Ben grew up, and where he and his wife are now raising their own family, this is a conversation about place, purpose, and what it takes to keep believing in the promise of democracy. www.third-story.com www.leosidran.substack.com www.wbgo.org/podcast/the-third-story

Bill welcomes former Wisconsin Democratic Party chair Ben Wikler to discuss his new book, "This Is the Plan: How to End America's Meltdown and Save Democracy," and Wisconsin's political arc from La Follette-era progressivism to Scott Walker's rollback and a comeback under Gov. Tony Evers. Wikler argues the most effective political work is grassroots, trust-based conversations that target persuadable and low-propensity voters, noting how tiny margins can decide outcomes. He contends Democrats must prioritize state-level races—governors, legislatures, attorneys general, secretaries of state, and especially elected state Supreme Courts—to set election rules and defend democracy against Trump-era threats. Wikler describes building a year-round “permanent campaign” infrastructure in Wisconsin and outlines a step-by-step roadmap from weekly local elections through 2026 battleground-state trifectas, advancing the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, and pursuing major federal democracy reforms in 2029.You can order your copy of Ben's great new book at Bookshop.org.

CannCon and Zak Paine open with the Monday morning after President Trump's election speech, sifting through weekend meltdowns from DC insiders and giving credit where due to Senator Mark Warner for handing them a stack of instantly fact checked soundbites. From there they dig deep into a wild Michigan case involving a voter registration company caught fabricating thousands of applications for gift cards, complete with a compound stacked with illegally stored NFA firearms that had absolutely nothing to do with door to door canvassing. The numbers on the fraud rate alone are staggering. They also trace how that scandal connects back to the larger foreign interference threads from last week's speech. As always expect strong opinions, a little bit of good natured ribbing between the hosts, and a healthy dose of skepticism about how far any of this actually goes.

Sports voice Tom Ackerman joins Mark to relive Spain's dominant 1-0 World Cup final win over Argentina, crediting Spain's disciplined possession game and praising the tournament's record TV ratings as a sign soccer's American audience keeps growing — even if Tom says US player development still has a long way to go. Then it's on to the Cardinals, coming off a rough loss that exposed bullpen troubles and a stagnant offense, leaving them in a tight wild card race with the Pirates closing in. Tom stays bullish on rookie sensation Jordan Walker after his viral Home Run Derby performance, predicting a monster contract in his future if the Cardinals commit to developing homegrown talent rather than chasing free agents against big-market teams. Great sports talk, straight analysis, hometown pride — that's the Marc Cox Morning Show. Coming up: more ahead as the show wraps up Hour Four.
