Podcasts about political orphanage

In this insightful and often humorous episode, host Corey Nathan welcomes political satirist, author, and podcast host Andrew Heaton for a wide-ranging conversation about his latest book, Tribalism Is Dumb. Heaton, known for his podcast The Political Orphanage, brings his signature blend of wit, intellect, and candor to explore why politics has become so viciously tribal—and how we can fix it. Drawing from personal stories, deep research, and evolutionary psychology, Heaton discusses the roots of human division, the impact of media and technology, and the path to a more thoughtful public discourse. What We Discuss: Why tribalism is hardwired into human nature—and how it gets misapplied in modern politics How Heaton's upbringing influenced his commitment to civility and intellectual rigor The role of media, social media, and political leadership in fostering division Practical tools for having productive, respectful political conversations What we can do—personally and societally—to resist toxic partisanship Episode Highlights: [00:01:00] Intro to Andrew Heaton and his new book [00:02:30] The story behind the dedication to Heaton's father [00:06:45] Heaton's early political influences [00:10:15] How Heaton preps for his many podcasts [00:21:00] The evolutionary roots of tribalism [00:34:00] Protestant vs. Catholic soccer rivalry in Scotland [00:36:30] What changed in the last few decades [00:55:00] Tools for better political conversations Featured Quotes: "There are lots of people that we share this country with that are good and intelligent people.

Comedian, author, and political satirist Andrew Heaton joins Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis to explore where our political tribalism comes from, why it's gotten out of hand, and what to do about it.   About Andrew Heaton From mightyheaton.com   Andrew Heaton is a comedian, author, and political satirist. He's the host of “The Political Orphanage” comedy and news podcast, and scifi deep dive podcast “Alienating the Audience.” He's a frequent Reason TV contributor and hosted the popular webseries “Mostly Weekly.” He's performed standup comedy at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, as a finalist in the China International Standup Competition, and throughout the United States and Europe. A former congressional staffer, he's the best-selling author of “Laughter is Better Than Communism,” as well as two funny novels. He once opened for William Shatner, who said he's “very funny.” So there.   As a UCB-trained sketch writer and improviser Andrew Heaton comprises half of the comedy duo Lost History, which has performed improvised historical reenactments at the Del Close Marathon and Austin's Out of Bounds Comedy Festival. He's a founding member of the popular New York indie improv team Lumberon, and an alumni of the sketch troupes 17:38 and First Runner Up.   As a political comedian Andrew Heaton has entertained numerous think tanks and advocacy groups, student associations, and sinister political action committees. He's a regular at Electoral Dysfunction at the People's Improv Theater in New York, and the Totally Dishonest Media Show at Stand Up New York. He hosted the award-winning series EconPop, a comedy show which explained economics through popular culture.   Andrew Heaton is the author of the best-selling work of political satire Laughter is Better Than Communism, and two funny paranormal novels: Frank Got Abducted (about aliens) and Happier as Werewolves (a tender coming of age novel involving werewolves).  His latest book is Tribalism is Dumb, detailed below.   About Tribalism is Dumb   Tribalism has made politics so awful I was forced to write a book about it. Well, fine. Fine.   This book explores the evolutionary roots of loving our team and hating the enemy team, and why groupish caveman instincts linger in our minds today. It answers: If tribalism is hardwired into us, what changed in the last twenty years? How did partisanship get so loud, toxic, and obnoxious, and ruin last Thanksgiving? Finally, it says what we can do about it as individuals navigating relationships, and as society as a whole.   "Tribalism is Dumb" will make you less flummoxed by partisanship, political loudmouths, and dogmatic pundits. It will make you taller, slimmer, and more attractive to everyone you could legally hit on. And it will make you better equipped to navigate tribalism in the wild.

Greetings, Comrades! As I'm recoding my news episode now - and that's a difficult one - I'd like to present you our discussion with our friend Andrew Heaton from the Political Orphanage podcast and our recurring sidetracking expert, and current Mad Baron of California, Alex from History Impossible. We tried to understand what Socialism really is, what it means in the west and in my side of the planet - and in the end, why do we keep calling new phenomenon using 19th century terms and what is says about us.Also, note that this is the first episode with our new theme song! I hope you like it, because...you know, a year in the war, it just felt wrong to keep using a Soviet army song, as kitch and ironic as it is. We're not throwing that one away, it's just that we have a new one, composed to us by a talented Estonian music writer Kristjan Thomas Haaristo.Enjoy!News coming soon - I'm using the fact that Anete just finished editing this to buy me some time for a better episode!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder.

This week's episode is a joint episode with Andrew Heaton's podcast, The Political Orphanage.  Andrew and Jeremiah discuss NEPA, the National Environmental Policy Act, and why environmental permitting has gotten out of control.  Why does it take more than four years on average to simply finish an environmental review? Is NEPA even protecting the environment?  What are we losing by dedicating so much time and money to the bureaucratic process of filling out the paperwork? All this and more discussed as Jeremiah and Andrew talk about a better way forward to protect the environment.   To make sure you hear every episode, join our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/neoliberalproject.

Andrew Heaton, host of The Political Orphanage and our favorite “tepid grab bag” of political punditry, returns to the pod to help us understand the big issues at stake before the midterm elections: abortion, inflation, and culture war stuff. Along the way, Heaton explains why having sex on the hood of a car isn't always a good idea, why dating in our era of partisan politics is exhausting, and why we need electoral reforms (like rank choice voting and multi-party systems) to save us from ourselves. Check out our ‘Inscrutable' blog and ‘Uncertainty' newsletter for thoughts and rants.

Then we get into some of the really good ideas we've heard on our shows recently, from why multi-member congressional districts might fix some of our partisanship to how to survive a nuclear war.

Hello Listeners,In this installment of In Summation, Paul brings on special guest host Andrew Heaton of the Political Orphanage podcast to discuss the recent Supreme Court decision in Kennedy v. Bremerton.What ensues is a great conversation about the First Amendment, specifically the negative and positive rights associated with religious liberty in America.  Where is the line between accommodating the free exercise of religion by a state actor and condoning a state-sanctioned religion?  Joseph Kennedy was an assistant high school football coach for the Bremerton School District in Washington State.  A devoutly religious man, he would kneel in prayer at the 50-yard line after football games while the students were singing the school fight song, speaking with their friends/family, or heading back to the locker room.  This practice became a problem for the school district, who felt that Kennedy's actions were likely violating the establishment clause.  When he refused to cease, or change the time or manner in which he prayed, he was ultimately fired, and this law suit resulted.The case went all the way up to the Supreme Court, who had to grapple with the lines between an individuals right to freely exercise their religious practices and the prohibition of any sort of state-sanctioned religion.We hope you enjoy this deep dive into the legal arguments and merits of the ultimate decision!

This week the guys were thrilled to be joined by writer, pontificator and comedian Andrew Heaton to discuss inflation and monetary policy.

On this second episode featuring great American independents, The Purple Principle sits down with Andrew Heaton, political satirist, author, podcast host and small “l” libertarian. “I'm a temperamental moderate who wants to help people,” Heaton confides, “but thinks government is not very effective at it.”  Heaton also describes the origins of his dual career track, working as a Capitol Hill Staffer while performing comedy – in his own words, “necktie man” by day and “degenerate pseudo-drunk” by night. But Heaton has a less degenerate side as well. “We've moved on from thinking people are in error to thinking they're in sin,” bemoans Heaton. “And that is just lamentable for everyone involved, from the politicians all the way down to us and the constituency.” Tune in for a welcome dose of edifying entertainment from Andrew Heaton, a uniquely thoughtful independent voice in these not so United States.  The Purple Principle is Fluent Knowledge production.

Hello friends! We've come to (finally) the final (for real) episode of season 1 of Majoring in Everything! One of the best things about having a podcast with the word "everything" in the title is that we can literally talk about it all. This episode is no exception: I (someone who is pro-choice) had a conversation with J.M. Jennings (someone who is pro-life) about abortion because I wanted to understand what on Earth is going on on the other side of this debate. I'm so grateful to Andrew Heaton (The Political Orphanage) for refereeing our conversation, and I hope to have more surprisingly civil conversations in the future with people with whom I disagree. I feel like this kind of dialogue might make a lot of people mad, but I think it's really important (if I may say). Thank you, Jennings and Heaton for helping me feel a tiny bit better about our collective future (don't worry, we have a long way to go). Tune in if you are on either side of the debate and are open to humanizing the other side.

Andrew Heaton ends his week as guest host by sharing a recent episode of The Political Orphanage that takes a numbers-first approach to gun legislation. Next week, Tom Merritt of Daily Tech News Show takes over Px3!

Introducing the Band:Your hosts Scot Bertram (@ScotBertram) and Jeff Blehar (@EsotericCD) are joined by guest Andrew Heaton. Andrew is a comedian and political satirist you might know from Reason TV. He is the host of The Political Orphanage, a funny policy analysis show for people tired of tribalism. You can find him on Twitter at @mightyheaton.Andrew Music Pick: “Weird Al” YankovicYou should know a few things about Al before we start. First, Al is super smart. He was two years younger than all the other kids in grade school and was going to be an architect before music intervened. Second, Al is super nice. There are no bad stories (that we know of!), no scandals. He doesn't even do a parody unless the artist gives the "Okay," even though there's no particular reason for him to do that. Three, Al is a super-good songwriter. You might think of parodies when you think of “Weird Al,” but a goal of this show is to convince you that his originals & pastiches are even better. The short Al story begins with the “Dr. Demento” radio show. Al was a fan. He passed him a cassette tape with some songs when the Dr. visited his high school, one of which then was played on the show. After that, Al continued to contribute and people took some notice. Well before the first album was released, he got national airplay with the singles "My Bologna" and "Another One Rides the Bus" -- the latter was recorded live on Demento's show and not even re-recorded for the debut. That '81 performance also is where Al met his long-time drummer. The rest of the band was put together in '82 and they've been together since.Not bad when it comes to longevity and loyalty.There are essentially four types of "Weird Al" songs:1. Straight parodies (think "Eat It," “Fat,” “Smells Like Nirvana”)2. Pastiches (song in the style of REM, Devo, Talking Heads, Cake, Bob Dylan, etc.)3. Pure originals4. Polka medleys of current or past hitsThere are certain recurring themes – food, TV, movies, the sad sack in love, lyrics with escalating comedic situations -- but through Al's lengthy career, he's shown the ability to adapt to whatever is in front of him, both musically and culturally. There are ups and downs to be sure, but his last album, Mandatory Fun (2014), was Al's first number one album, a sign he still commanded a sizable fanbase of nerds and weirdos. Of which all three of us are, of course.Join the crowd, shout it out loud! Dare to be stupid with Political Beats and “Weird Al” Yankovic.

The Purple Principle completes its three-episode tour of the great state of California with three uniquely positioned viewpoints on the Golden State. First, Leon Panetta, former Cabinet Secretary and nine-term US Congress member, who questions the one party mindset of Democratic governance in Sacramento and the rightward populist tilt of the California GOP.  Our second guest, former State Assembly Minority Leader Kristin Olsen, helped initiate a 2018 effort to reform the Golden State GOP called “New Way California” which ultimately failed to gain traction. And our third guest, political satirist Andrew Heaton, describes the rivalry between largely blue California and largely red Texas, the topic of an earlier seven-part TPP series.   “Don't California my Texas,” observes Heaton, now an Austin resident, “that is a frequent political bumper sticker here, which occasionally you'll see on cars from Florida.”  These and other surprises on this California finale. Tune in and review us on Apple Podcasts or your favorite podcast app. Original music by Ryan Adair Rooney. How'd you hear about The Purple Principle?

"Why do people hate NFTs?" They're interesting, frivolous and speculative. Yet the debate over this permutation of the internet (where one can buy purely digital art) has awoken a visceral reaction from some people. Why? Justin believes this is a reconstituted rift that's been dormant for over a decade. What's more? It's only a matter of time before it is exploited by politicians, pundits and brands.

Andrew Heaton is a comedian, who I first became aware of several years ago when he was doing some hilarious video content for the Libertarian website reason. Now he's the host of two great podcasts, The Political Orphanage, a podcast for people who want to know about what's going on in the world, but don't want to become a part of the partisan brick-throwing contest, and Alienating the Audience, where he does a deep dive on movies, TV and general geekery. But I'm talking to Andrew about the day several years ago when he was guilty of unintentional international gun smuggling.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-greatest-story-ever-podcast6760/donations

In general, politics is a topic that people are really engaged in or they want to keep away from it with a 10 foot pole. Personally for me, I'm a bit of a junkie. And in fact, the shows that I tend to listen to engage in political satire. They don't take themselves too seriously.I love that because it's such a break from the norm. Because when you think of politics today, you often think of this side vs that side. One side is right while the other side is wrong. One side is Trump and on the other side you have the Pelosi lead Democrats. This wasn't always the case.Today's guest, Andrew Heaton, is someone I started listening to sometime last year in his last podcast called There's Something Off with Andrew Heaton. That particular show concluded this past summer and since then he's been busy building his own show entitled The Political Orphanage. (He also has a new show called Alienating the Audience , Sci-Fi based show, which we'll talk a bit about in the interview.)Listen in as Andy and I get a chance to find out from Andrew what his process has been as he's been building his new platform. And what he can share with other creators in regards to getting on the national stage.Enjoy! SPECIFICALLY, YOU'LL FIND OUT MORE ABOUT: How does Andrew connect at a different level with his audience than most political commentators? 10:38Are politicians in DC the same people behind the scenes versus what we see in the news and media? 14:11What's Andrew's advice for a student to set themself up to work in Washington DC? 17:08What are some action steps he recommends to creatives, such as podcasters, who are in the hunt to get on a larger stage? 23:11How does he go about getting guests on his podcasts? 35:49Is there a certain way Andrew recommends to grow a contact list? 41:01What business lessons has he learned through his experiences as a standup comic? 56:50How has "always saying yes" affected him as a podcaster? 59:37What's Andrew looking forward to in the New Year? 1:02:12Which book, film, and song would Andrew add to the National Curriculum? 1:04:47What's Andrew do when he becomes overwhelmed or unfocused? 1:07:32What's a topic that would be found in a handbook for entrepreneurs if Andrew wrote it? 1:10:33Is there something he wished was still a thing? 1:12:12What's the secret to achieving personal freedom? 1:12:45 ITEMS and PEOPLE MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Andrew Online: Website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTubeCohost: Andy DixSession Sponsor: Uncover Your Personal MissionAndrew's 2 Podcasts - Alienating the Audience, The Political OrphanageUpright Citizens BrigadeHenry Hazlitt - Economics in One Lesson Right click here and save-as to download this episode to your computer.
