Hello from Team Simon! We'll be back next week—January 27, 2026—with brand-new episodes of A Bit of Optimism. We're excited to bring you new guests, conversations, and opportunities to learn.Until then, we're diving back into the archives to revisit one of our favorite episodes from 2024, when comedian Trevor Noah joined the show… to get as serious as possible.Most Americans know Trevor as the former host of The Daily Show, a bestselling author, and a stand-up comedian. But his brand of humor isn't just a barrel of laughs— it's raw, witty, thought-provoking, and often makes you see the world in a whole new way.In this conversation, Simon and Trevor ditched the small talk (mostly) and went deep into the paradox of choice, the public's response to the murder of United HealthCare's CEO, and why the human experience might be defined by constraint.It will make you chuckle, think, and probably question everything all at once.This… is A Bit of Optimism.---------------------------For more on Trevor and his work, check out: https://www.trevornoah.com/
It is a privilege to welcome actress and singer Kim Yarbrough back to The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar brand (and for the first time on the podcast) for the first time in 14 years! Many Reality TV fans first saw Kim Yarbrough audition for The Voice USA: Season Two in Spring 2012. Her powerful interpretation of Chaka Khan's “Tell Me Something Good” turned both founding coaches' chairs, Adam Levine and Christina Aguilera, around. After joining Team Adam, Kim wowed the audience with her cover of Mary J. Blige's “No More Drama” and advanced to the Season Two Live Playoffs. During The Voice: Season Two Live Playoffs, she sang Adele's “Rolling in the Deep” but fell into the Bottom Three. After delivering a superb, powerful cover of Jennifer Hudson's “Spotlight,” the Maroon 5 frontman chose to advance Kim's then teammate, Katrina Parker, to the Top 16. After her appearance on the NBC talent competition, Al Roker, Hoda Kotb, and Kathie Lee Gifford interviewed her on Today, and she sang with the Roots on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Over the years, Kim dove deep into the entertainment industry. She guest-starred on several television shows, including 2 Broke Girls, 9-1-1, Hollywood Heights, Hot in Cleveland, Kenan, The Mindy Project, New Girl, Shameless, and The Up-Shaws. Kim also had recurring roles in Cherish the Day (Aunt Natalie), The Haunted Hathaways (Madame Labuef), and the animated series Kid Cosmic (Flo (voice)). In addition, Kim lent her voice to the Oscar-winning animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. She also shared the stage and screen with entertainment industry legends, including Dennis Quaid, Loretta Devine, Octavia Spencer, Cedric the Entertainer, Stevie Wonder, Sheila E, and the late Betty White and her mentor Della Reese, who produced the stage show Della Reese Presents Kim Yarbrough, which allowed Kim to showcase her talents to the Hollywood Entertainment Community. On this episode of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Kim Yarbrough spoke about voice acting, tutoring students in the arts, and if she would ever audition for America's Got Talent or wait for a future All-Stars season of The Voice USA.

In his interview with Oprah at the famed Apollo Theater in New York City, Trevor Noah, the late-night comedy host and best-selling author of "Born a Crime," discusses his childhood in South Africa, his mother who risked her life to raise him, and his unlikely path to becoming the host of "The Daily Show." Trevor shares inspiring stories about overcoming extreme poverty under apartheid. Oprah tells Trevor, "You're the only person I've interviewed, that I can remember, who's a famous person, who grew up poorer than I did." Trevor says, "We laughed. We enjoyed ourselves. We had something that sometimes you don't have when you have too much, and that's the ability to focus on the human beings around you." Trevor also explains the "black tax" that he writes about in his book. He tells Oprah, "It's one of the hardest conversations to have with people." In this special edition of "Oprah's SuperSoul Conversations," you'll hear Oprah and Trevor's full interview, featuring more than 15 minutes of bonus content not included in Part 1 of the OWN special "Oprah at the Apollo."

It's easy to think of hexagonal thinking as a big event, a full-class activity that you set up and run for a whole period. But once your students know how to use this tool, it could come in handy in lots of other ways. Especially if you keep some blank hexagons on hand in your classroom. In today's short episode, I want to share five ten-minute hexagonal thinking activities you could use in your ELA classroom any old time, but my hope is that after hearing these ten, you'll realize there are hundreds more waiting. This is a tool you can reach for time and again, to help students warm-up for discussion, look at things in a new way, or organize their thinking, their research, or their ideas in the midst of all types of units. For today's examples, I'm going to use Trevor Noah's memoir, Born a Crime, as an example text. Facing History & Ourselves has his chapter,"Chameleon," available online here, if you're intrigued and want to learn more.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for October 9, 2025. 0:30 We dive into new revelations about the Palisades Fire in California, now confirmed to have been set intentionally by an arsonist — not caused by climate change, as many headlines first claimed. We break down how federal investigators linked the suspect — a 29-year-old local with a history of threats and instability — to one of the most destructive wildfires in U.S. history. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. President Trump announced this week that both Hamas and Israel have accepted the first phase of his peace proposal. President Trump held a roundtable meeting with independent journalists about ANTIFA at the White House yesterday. New York Attorney General Latitia James has been indicted by a Federal Grand Jury for fraud. 12:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We return from New York City — the heart of Italian-American culture — just in time for Columbus Day. We dive into President Trump’s declaration that “It’s Columbus Day, period. End of story.”, pushing back on efforts to rebrand it as Indigenous Peoples’ Day. 16:30 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a listener question: What's wrong with Portland? From Antifa protests and ICE riots to a surprising personal story from inside the city, the mamas explore how Portland became a symbol of far-left activism — and why that image may be starting to shift. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We break down the latest in the New York City mayor’s race, focusing on Democratic Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani and his sweeping campaign promises — from freezing rent and city-owned grocery stores to fare-free public transit and a $30 minimum wage. The discussion explores how these policies could reshape New York’s economy and why critics say they would push the city further toward socialism. 25:30 We sit down with Curtis Sliwa, the Republican nominee for mayor of New York City and founder of the Guardian Angels, to talk about his decades-long fight to restore public safety and common sense to the Big Apple. Sliwa shares his firsthand experience patrolling the streets since the 1970s, reflects on how civic education has vanished from schools, and warns against the rise of socialist “free everything” policies championed by his opponent. From tackling fare evasion and crime to restoring accountability and respect for law enforcement, Sliwa lays out his vision for a safer, more responsible New York. 32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 We react to Trevor Noah’s controversial comments about the tragic death of Charlie Kirk, calling out the growing hypocrisy in how the media and political elites treat violence across the aisle. They discuss how the mainstream left excuses cruelty when aimed at conservatives, why true compassion requires consistency, and what this moment says about America’s cultural divide. 36:30 Plus, a new Harvard Harris poll shows rising approval ratings for Republicans, and that's a Bright Spot. We break down the latest approval ratings showing Charlie Kirk (+16) and Erica Kirk (+14) leading the nation, with Republicans dominating the only positive approval scores in America. Meanwhile, Democrats — and even Vladimir Putin — sink to the bottom. What’s driving the divide? We dig into why Americans are rallying behind authentic leaders who take a stand, not politicians who chase headlines. From RFK Jr. to Mike Johnson, it’s about conviction over calculation, and why voters are tired of finger-to-the-wind politics. 40:30 We react to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s controversial response when asked whether an undocumented immigrant who committed a violent crime should be deported. Johnson’s refusal to answer will make you say, "Whoa!" 42:30 And we finish off with a couple's vacation to Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas.

In Hour 2, Marc Cox and Dan Buck dive into the potential Israel-Hamas hostage deal and President Trump's involvement in the negotiations. They break down the media's mixed reactions and skepticism surrounding the agreement. The hosts then discuss Trevor Noah's controversial joke about Charlie Kirk's shooting, sparking outrage over insensitivity in comedy. Shifting gears, they analyze Taylor Swift's latest album, which includes explicit sexual themes in most tracks, raising questions from parents about its impact on young listeners. The hour wraps up with Other News—a man caught digging a cave under a Utah highway, a pepper spray incident at an high school football game, and the largest great white shark ever recorded in the Atlantic near Canada.
Meet Hasan Minaj, one of the brightest young comedians out there -- and a man who almost became the new host of The Daily Show. Born in Davis, CA to immigrant parents, Hasan caught the comedy bug in college, commuting to San Francisco to perform. His style of sharp eyed comedy and his youthful appeal eventually caught the eye of Jon Stewart and Hasan was the last Daily Show correspondent hired by Stewart during his first run as host. Eventually Hasan left and started his own show, the award-winning "The Patriot Act" on Netflix, which won numerous awards including a Peabody. A kerfuffle over whether some of his comedy stories were embellished apparently cost him the chance to become Daily Show host after Trevor Noah departed, but Hasan continues with a busy standup career. As always find extended clips below and thanks for sharing our shows! Want more Hasan Minaj? Hasan came to most of our attentions as a Daily Show correspondent (and almost host). Here's a clip package of some of Hasan's best from that show. https://youtu.be/3-0-81q-fGo?si=JISd8ym5R-Z5Wsia Hasan won a Peabody award for his show "The Patriot Act" on Netflix, mixing comedy with sharp takes on the issues of the day, plus a little playful crowd work. https://youtu.be/J7dqGhOPVcY?si=uoD_T1Yby9hS5mLA Hasan continues to put out first rate stand up specials.

Dr. Carol Anderson is the Robert W. Woodruff Professor of African American Studies at Emory University. She is the author of several books including the New York Times bestseller White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide, and One Person, No Vote: How Voter Suppression is Destroying Our Democracy. Her most recent book is The Second: Race and Guns in a Fatally Unequal America. Dr. Anderson has appeared on The Rachel Maddow Show, PBS NewsHour, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, and Democracy Now!. She has also been featured in the Huffington Post, The Guardian, The New York Times, and The Washington Post. In this wide-ranging conversation, Dr. Anderson explains how white rage, the color line, gun culture, and gun violence are knotted together in American history and life. She details how the Black Freedom Struggle -- and Black Americans' claims on their fundamental Constitutional rights, civil rights, and human freedom, including the inherent right of self-defense -- are often viewed as an existential threat by White America. This is especially true in the Age of Trump. Dr. Anderson also warns that America will never be able to end its epidemic of gun violence and mass shootings as long as gun ownership remains intimately connected to whiteness, white masculinity, and a fear of Black people and other non-whites as seen with “stand your ground laws” and other forms of State violence. Chauncey DeVega shares an update about his absence and how he has been experiencing his own version of the iconic hammer fight from Park Chan-wook's film Old Boy. In that context, Chauncey reflects on how America's collapse into mass disinhibition and authoritarianism has greatly accelerated because of last week's horrific events in Utah. And Chauncey goes for a walk around his neighborhood and shares some of the amazing, wondrous, and disturbing things he encountered. This includes offering pastoral care to an honored elder who hit a woman with his truck, and learning some life wisdom from a man who is dying from prostate cancer. This street prophet -- who had a plastic catheter that was visible outside of his pants -- was warning all the young men outside the local drug store to get their annual physicals or they could end up dying a painful death like him. This week's conversation with Carol Anderson is from the archives of The Chauncey DeVega Show and was recorded in July of 2021. I was saving it for an extreme crisis moment such as the one we "the Americans" are experiencing right now. This conversation is eerily and frighteningly prescient and timely. WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?

Send us a textThe cancellation of Stephen Colbert's show highlights a major shift in the media landscape as expensive TV production gives way to more cost-effective, audience-focused podcasting formats. When Stephen Colbert's show got axed, the immediate cultural response wasn't "start a YouTube channel" or "join TikTok". It was "launch a podcast." This reaction speaks volumes about where audience attention and creator opportunity now resides.Mentioned in this episode:Why Colbert Got Canceled by Nate Silver100 Best Podcasts of All TimeOur thoughts:The Late Show cost $100 million annually with 200 employees, making it financially unsustainableTraditional TV's aging audience (average 68 years old) doesn't appeal to advertisers seeking younger demographicsConan O'Brien's successful transition from TV (280,000 viewers) to podcasting (1.3 million listeners)Podcast production costs dramatically lower at $20,000 per episode for major networks, often under $100 for independentsCreative freedom in podcasting allows hosts to maintain their authentic voice without network interferenceMany former TV personalities finding success in podcasting: Trevor Noah, Bill O'Reilly, Rosie O'Donnell, and Keith Olbermann, for example.

Adam kicks off the show with comedian Big Jay Oakerson, diving into the art of crowd work, the challenges of censoring material for late-night TV, and Jay's latest two-part YouTube special, THEM / THEY. THEM is out now, with THEY dropping on April 20th. MMA fighter Jason "Mayhem" Miller then joins Adam and Big Jay to break down some of the wildest headlines, including a bizarre Mississippi law about ejaculate, the NYU College Republicans president resigning over comments about Barron Trump, and Trevor Noah's surprising take on desegregation. Later, congressional candidate Anthony Constantino zooms in to talk boxing, politics, and why people of action should be running the country. Get it on.
