Podcasts about On the Media

In 2023, Anna and On The Media's Micah Loewinger traveled to Montana to talk to Tasha Adams, the ex-wife of Stewart Rhodes, who founded the far-right paramilitary group, the Oath Keepers. Stewart had been charged with seditious conspiracy for his participation in the January 6 Capitol riots, and Tasha was eagerly awaiting sentencing: “I need him to stay locked away so my kids can legally cut contact with him when they're 18.” Tasha described their decades-long marriage, from their courtship in a ballroom dance class in Las Vegas, to abuse and isolation as Stewart became transfixed on politics and apocalyptic ideas. She and her six kids managed to escape in 2018. And shortly after our conversation there was some good news for Tasha: her divorce was finalized, and Stewart got a long sentence – 18 years.  Then Trump was re-elected, and on his first day in office he issued nearly 1,500 pardons and commuted the sentences of 14 of his supporters in connection with Jan. 6. Among them was Stewart.  This week we're replaying our 2023 conversation with Tasha, as well as a portion of a follow-up conversation we recorded with her right before Trump's inauguration.

The suspected killer of the UnitedHealthcare CEO has been crowned a hero by many on social media. On this week's On the Media, what the fandom reveals, and what the coverage of it has missed. Plus, tune in to part two of The Harvard Plan. Hear how plagiarism allegations at the university exploded into a toxic discourse about DEI and “diversity hires.”[01:00]  Hosts Brooke Gladstone and Micah Loewinger examine how the suspected killer of the UnitedHealthcare CEO became an internet sensation, what the spectacle itself reveals, and the gulf between the reactions on TikTok and in mainstream media. [15:29] Reporter Ilya Marritz, in part two of this collaboration with WNYC's On The Media, Harvard's first Black president Claudine Gay is accused of academic plagiarism, just days after giving testimony to Congress. The drip-drip of new allegations keeps the story in the headlines. It also reinforces critics' allegation that Gay is a “diversity hire,” unworthy of the job. We hear from two of the writers who broke that news, and from a defender of Harvard's diversity efforts.Check out our collaboration with the Boston Globe here. Further reading/listening/watching:“Luigi Mangione's Full Story Isn't Online,” by John Herrman"Beware, fellow plutocrats, the pitchforks are coming," Ted Talk by Nick Hanauer  On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

There's a vigorous debate , left-of-center, about the Hunter Biden pardon, and while the likes of Jon Stewart, Leigh McGowan (aka "Politics Girl") and Rep. Jasmine Crockett all have hot (or hilarious) takes, I'm sort of indifferent but certainly not upset. Post-election, I've focused a good bit on the need for the left to have its own media "ecosystem" the way the right was grown theirs the last half century-plus. Oddly enough, NPR's "On The Media" focused on how the radio dial got to be so overtly right-leaning. TL/DR: racism to religion to ending 'Fairness' to deregulation of ownership.

Jon Stewart began ⁠Monday's The Daily Show with some clarity⁠: Democrats didn't run on 'woke' ideology; they had it affixed to them by Republicans while actually running ads that sounded quite the opposite. I'll add: running from marginalized communities (like trans people) is a show of weakness & to expect loyalty from such community afterwards Is political folly. ⁠Kentucky Governor (D) Andy Beshear said as much, himself: ⁠stick to your values. Oh and maybe stop letting your opponent(s) define you by caricaturing you. See, I'm starting to openly ask what happened to radicalize young white male voters? My leading theories are: DEI, immigration and trans rights. That doesn't mean Democrats have to capitulate, though; they have to communicate, and be better at it. Meanwhile, everyone's marveling over the influence of one Joe Rogan. Yeah, me, too. As in "how'd this untalented, not wise dude become "⁠the Walter Cronkite of 2024?⁠" Worse, still: how did Democrats lose the self-professed progressive who's pro-choice, pro-gay rights, pro-trans rights, for universal healthcare, and loathed Trump's immigration policies? "Cancel culture."Another right wing caricaturization that Democrats, themselves, don't have policies or platforms endorsing, but whose opposition attaches to them. Anyhow, ⁠NPR's "On The Media" delved into the "man-o-sphere"⁠ that he leads, with the likes of other reality TV nobodies like Theo Von.

Brooke Gladstone, and Micah Loewinger, co-hosts of WNYC's On The Media, talk about what's been different in the media during this presidential election cycle compared to the last two including how the press is covering Trump, the effect of influencers and what $1 billion dollars in campaign funds buys.

Influencers, billions of dollars in campaign funding, and the first presidential election after Jan. 6, all add up to a different kind of campaign coverage in the mainstream media. On Today's Show:Brooke Gladstone, and Micah Loewinger, co-hosts of WNYC's On The Media, talk about what's been different in the media during this presidential election cycle compared to the last two.

Chris Molanphy drops by to count down the hits of 1988, a time when we weren't worried, we were happy, and we were making the transition from the exiting of dreams and the entering of cars. Also, in 1988 OJ Simpson was in a new movie called The Naked Gun. Today, OJ Simpson, football great, and adjudicated killer of two people is dead. We can say that and be factual. Plus, an On The Media segment on UNRWA leaves out a bit of context, namely a single inculpatory fact about UNRWA's members involvement in October 7th, or support of Hamas.

Zdravo. Tokrat začnemo s serijo neprimernosti, pokomentiramo komentatorje in ugotovimo, da je komentiranje tekem naporen poklic. Pogovarjamo se tudi o filmih in sklenemo, da je treba verjet'. Ker je šnopc pa per ena pijača, pridemo tudi do 24. poglavja 5. knjige, a nas od dokončne obdelave zmotijo mozolji, knjige za samopomoč in … od Koprivnika žena.

Zdravo. V tokratni epizodi namesto pogovora o 24. poglavju 5. knjige obdelamo leto zmaja, Threads (anketo in podarimo knjigo), Stožice, vladni podkast, 42. vladni vladni računalnik, premaknjene golobe, čustveno stanje našega scenarista, 24 urni cikel novic, zalivsko vojno in težave s percepcijo relanosti. Posvetimo se tudi peti knjigi kot taki in jo primerjamo s trilogijo v štirih delih. Kar smo nameravali narediti v eni od prihodnjih epizod, ampak nič ne de. Spomnimo se tudi na tiste zelene koščke papirja in še kaj. Intro nam uspe narediti v štirih korakih. Bravo.

On this day after Christmas, we are choosing to eschew the news cycle and instead have a little fun. We found some oldies-but-goodies from Mike's pre-Gist time at New York Public Radio's On The Media and NPR's Day To Day. With puns, oddities, parodies, and peccadillos galore, it's the perfect soundtrack to accompany you while you return all the awful gifts you got for store credit.    Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara  Email us at thegist@mikepesca.com  To advertise on the show: https://advertisecast.com/TheGist  Subscribe to our ad-free and/or PescaPlus versions of The Gist: https://subscribe.mikepesca.com/  Follow Mike's Substack: Pesca Profundities | Mike Pesca | Substack  Learn more about your ad choices.

As Israel marks one month since the deadliest terrorist attack in its history, David Remnick sits down with Brooke Gladstone, the host of the podcast “On the Media,” to talk about reporting on the conflict. He spent a week in Israel as people were reeling from the horrors of October 7th and as the Israeli government was launching an unprecedented campaign against Hamas in Gaza. Remnick details the process behind “The Cities of Killing,” his ten-thousand-word piece for The New Yorker's magazine. “I'm an American, I'm a Jew, I'm a reporter, and I try to call on those identities, recognize whatever powers I have, but also weaknesses, to tell the story as best I can,” Remnick tells Gladstone. “And, as I say in the beginning of the piece, knowing that it wasn't just rhetoric, it was confessional almost. Knowing that I would, at least for many readers, fail.”

In a new miniseries from “On the Media,” “We Don't Talk About Leonard,” the ProPublica reporters Andrea Bernstein, Andy Kroll, and Ilya Marritz investigate the background of the man who has played a critical role in the conservative takeover of America's courts via the Federalist Society: Leonard Leo. It traces Leo's path from humble roots in middle-class New Jersey (he was nicknamed Moneybags Kid) to a mansion in Maine where, last year, he hosted a fabulous party on the eve of the Supreme Court decision to tank Roe.

Ilya Marritz, fellow at the Nieman Foundation at Harvard, and Andrea Bernstein, author of American Oligarchs: The Kushners, The Trumps and the Marriage of Money and Power (W. W. Norton & Company, 2020), are co-reporters of the podcast We Don't Talk About Leonard from ProPublica and On The Media, which dives into the background of the man who has played a critical role in the conservative takeover of America's courts: Leonard Leo.

Our friends at On the Media have teamed up with ProPublica to create a miniseries about how the U.S. Supreme Court moved so far to the right. In the third and final episode of We Don't Talk About Leonard, Leonard Leo is in Maine, a man in his castle, at the height of his powers. He has helped remake the American judicial system, and now he has a plan to do the same for society and politics — to make a Federalist Society for everything. ProPublica reporters Andrea Bernstein, Andy Kroll, and Ilya Marritz drill even further into the fight to gain influence over state courts, and reveal what Leo and his allies are planning for the future.

For six-year-old Esther and Fanya, the teeming streets of New York's Lower East Side circa 1910 are both a fascinating playground and a place where life's lessons are learned quickly and often cruelly. Leela Recommends “I am a recommendations factory!” Places to visit in Florida: The Springs! Visit with care and gentleness for their fragile ecosystems and be amazed at their hallucinatory beauty. They're Florida's best-kept secret! Chamblin's Book Mine in Jacksonville. Hear Again Records, the amazing Third House Books, and Volta Coffee, all in Gainesville. Podcasts Leela Recommends: Maintenance Phase! Essential listening for debunking all the wellness pseudoscience, diet culture, and anti-fatness we all grew up with. The BMI episode alone should be required listening. Plus it's very funny!   Conspirituality, a weekly deep dive into the intersection of cults, yoga and wellness culture, right-wing extremism, mis- and disinformation, and politics. On The Media, essential investigative journalism and media literacy. Reveal, one of the best investigative journalism podcasts I've heard, especially in the areas of systemic racism and abuses of power in the US, hosted by the fantastic Al Letson, who I believe is a Florida native. [Editor's note: An Orange Park High School grad!] Artists Leela Recommends: Wangechi Mutu Clarity Haynes Jinal Sangoi Jeanne Mammen Joan Semmel William Kentridge Kara Walker Television Leela Recommends: Reservation Dogs, a funny and heartbreaking series about contemporary Indigenous life in Oklahoma, created and starring Indigenous folks. Pose, set in the queer ballroom scene of New York in the late 1980s and early 90s, starring, among other greats, national treasure Billy Porter. This is going to sound strange, but I'm really into German detective shows on Netflix, especially Dogs Of Berlin, Same Sky, NSU German History X, and Kleo, all of which deal in various ways with the end of the Cold War, the rise of racist movements after the Wall fell, and the complexities of immigration and contemporary Germany.

According to Brooke Gladstone, host of “On The Media,” a lot of journalists think their job is to report “...fairly, accurately, and with principle.” But she also says that might be where we get in trouble.

The state of Fox News today is thanks to Rupert Murdoch. A look inside the Murdoch media empire shows how media outlets can turn into right-wing political influence machines.  Famed Fox News host Tucker Carlson got fired. The story is still unfolding, but initial reports claim that the decision came straight from media tycoon Rupert Murdoch after vulgar language and messages were attributed to Carlson. In a recent episode, our colleagues at On The Media took a moment to consider Murdoch's history and his impact on our present culture.   On The Media host, Brooke Gladstone speaks with Jim Rutenberg, writer-at-large for the New York Times and its Sunday magazine, about the Fox News Dominion lawsuit settlement and what's next for the company.   You can listen to more episodes of On The Media here.  Companion listening for this episode:  Of Tech Moguls and Gold Miners: A Capitalist History (4/3/2023) In Silicon Valley Bank's collapse, one writer sees a model for amassing obscene wealth, pioneered in 19th century California, finally nearing its limits.  “Notes from America” airs live on Sunday evenings at 6pm ET.

Brooke Gladstone, host of WNYC's On The Media, talks about NPR's decision to pause its use of its Twitter accounts after the disagreement with how it was labeled and how other public media has responded.

Zdravo. V zadnjem poglavju četrte knjige stopamo na srednjo pot, zato debato v predigri začenjamo z notranjim mirom in se pripravljamo na konec sezone. Ugotovimo, da je opis, da se pogovarjamo o enem poglavju Štoparca IN vsak teden bolj o življenju, vesolju in sploh vsem, vedno bolj resničen. Tudi dejstvo, da ste vabljeni, da napišete recenzijo na Apple Podcasts (spet) omenimo (in ne moremo mimo Chat GPT-ja), na kratko očrtamo zgodovino Netflixa in HBO-ja in pozdravimo vse, ki so sredi decembra prekinili s poslušanjem in branjem, ter čakali na to poglavje, ki je glavna finta. Sedaj smo tu. Ni več poti nazaj. Torej: izkazalo se je, da sta Artur in Fenchurch prišla do prave romarske poti, na kateri sta srečala starega Arturjevega prijatelja, kupila nekaj spominkov in prebrala Poslednje božje sporočilo stvarstvu. Ob so občutili silno občutje miru, Fenchurch je ugotovila, da je bilo to tisto, kar je iskala, Marvin pa je menil, da mu je sporočilo dobro delo.

After years of being publicly shamed for “fleecing” the taxpayers with their frivolous and obscure studies, scientists decided to hit back with  … an awards show?! This episode, we gate-crash the Grammys of government-funded research, a.k.a. the Golden Goose Awards. The twist of these awards is that they go to scientific research that at first sounds trivial or laughable but then turns out to change the world. We tell the story of one of the latest winners: a lonely Filipino boy who picked up an ice cream cone that was actually a covert vampire assassin. Decades later, that discovery leads to an even bigger one: an entire pharmacy's worth of new drugs hidden just below the surface of the ocean.

During the 2022 midterms, election-denying and pro-Trump candidates ran on a platform of  falsehoods about voter fraud in 2020. But there's a much more present source introducing this narrative into American homes: the country's largest Christian conservative multimedia company. We learn how the far-right came to dominate Christian talk radio and we meet Salem Media Group – perhaps the most influential media company you've never heard of.   The Divided Dial is a new series from our colleagues at On The Media about how one side of the political spectrum came to dominate talk radio – and how one company is using the airwaves to launch a right wing media empire. You can listen to future episodes here.   The Divided Dial is hosted by journalist and Fulbright Fellow Katie Thornton. You can follow her work on Instagram or on her website. The Divided Dial was edited by On the Media's executive producer, Katya Rogers. With production support from Max Balton and fact-checking by Tom Colligan, Sona Avakian, and Graham Hacia. Music and sound design by Jared Paul. Jennifer Munson is technical director. Art by Michael Brennan. With support from the Fund for Investigative Journalism.   Companion listening for this episode: Church, State, and the Soul of our Nation (10/10/2022) Christian nationalism – the push to have laws, policies and social norms reflect Christian values –  is a growing movement in the U.S. As its rise continues to influence contemporary politics, how should we consider and prepare for its impact on our government? Pastor and executive director of Vote Common Good, Doug Pagitt, walks us through the history of the movement, and tells us how he and other faith leaders are finding ways to combat the effects of Christian nationalism in their own faith communities.   “Notes from America” airs live on Sunday evenings at 6pm ET.

Since 2020, election officials are “leaving in droves,” in many cases due to the misinformation campaigns and the subsequent threats made against them. In fact, the FBI issued a warning a few weeks ago that in seven states, including Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Wisconsin, there have been an unusual level of threats continuing against election officials. In states like Arizona and Georgia, we've also seen how voter intimidation and suppression tactics are being used with baseless claims of voter fraud used as justification.  In Georgia, Joe Biden became the first Democratic president to win Georgia in nearly three decades in 2020, and a strong voter turnout helped send two Democrats to the US Senate, flipping control of the chamber to the Democratic party and making the state of Georgia a swing state.  But even as Democrats where celebrating their wins, Republican lawmakers in Georgia, were seizing on the potential political gains from Trump's, ‘Big Lie.' And through that traction of disinformation passed the controversial Georgia Senate Bill SB 202. Which restricts almost all aspects of voting, including a provision that has made it easier for regular citizens to challenge the eligibility of other voters in their county.  We speak with Lawrence Norden, senior director of the Elections and Government Program for the Brennan Center for Justice, to hear about how political violence and threats of violence are playing out for the Midterms, and what it means for our democracy and free and fair elections. On The Media reporter, Micah Loewinger also joins The Takeaway to talk about how this is affecting voters, in the latest installment of our occasional series, Georgia at the Intersections.

Something odd has been happening to the once wonderful On The Media podcast for quite awhile. But finally, is has utterly capitulated its journalistic integrity, falling prey to its own ideological and editorial blind spots, omitting facts, reducing complex topics to black/white oversimplifications, and indulging in, frankly, toxic and irresponsible hyperbole.  OTM has, alas, become a parody of itself. It has lost its way as a nuanced and fair-minded source of thoughtful journalism and become an organ of propaganda.  Today, we examine one of its most recent episodes to see where 'the new journalism' technique of omitting important data that might contradict the preferred narrative reaches its apotheosis: a total smear job on the Depp vs. Heard trial.  Alas, poor OTM: we knew (and loved) you well.

Why are truffles (not the chocolate kind) such a delicacy? Maybe it's because they remind us of ourselves. We'll let one of our longtime favourite podcasts, Planet Money, explain. They followed the king of the New York truffle-selling scene on his routine quest to sell $20,000 worth of truffles in a day. The stakes are high: run out of time, and the truffles start to lose their value. This episode we turn to Planet Money and more of our old reliable faves for some enlightening stories. No doubt you've seen some of your favourite books become movies. But what about the best-sellers that started out on the screen? Meet the authors who built careers writing movie novelizations. Then, it can be hard to balance cultural and family expectations with your own needs. Code Switch helps a listener learn to set boundaries with their immigrant parents. Those and more great stories this week on the show. Featuring: Planet Money, On The Media, Code Switch, Aria Code, True Dating Stories For more information on the podcasts on today's show, visit http://cbc.ca/podcastplaylist.

How should journalists cover the hyperbolic statements, half-truths and bad-faith arguments that have become common place in our national discourse?

Join our discussion on journalism in the era of Donald Trump and “post-truth.” Panelists: Brooke Gladstone — Co-host and Managing Editor, On The Media Kevin Riley — Editor, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Atlanta has one of the highest eviction rates in the country. According to Apartment List , the city ranks third in the nation — with a nearly 6% rise in evictions between 2015 and 2017. Earlier this month, On Second Thought spoke with Brooke Gladston e about a reporting series NPR's On The Media created with the Eviction Lab at Princeton. Our conversation on the series called, "The Scarlet E: Unmasking America's Eviction Crisis" garnered a lot of feedback from listeners so we decided to do a follow up, while getting a landlord's perspective.
