On today's episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by Washington Post reporter Tatum Hunter, who interviewed Australian teens about the country's new social media ban. Platforms like Instagram and Reddit are now required to keep under-sixteens off their apps, but it didn't take long for the teens to outsmart these new restrictions. As similar legislation is introduced across the world, no one knows if these bans are actually effective—or if they hurt teens more than they help.

President Donald Trump backs Anna Paulina Luna as she stands firm demanding action on the SAVE Act—and Joe Pags asks the question everyone's asking: why hasn't Trump endorsed anyone yet in the Texas GOP Senate race? Then it's rapid-fire headlines you won't hear framed this way: a contractor indicted on six counts for allegedly leaking classified information to The Washington Post; the House Oversight Committee expanding its probe into massive Minnesota fraud—with Pags revealing signs that California may be the next fraud bombshell; and Don Lemon making waves again by calling Nicki Minaj a racist—prompting Pags to say enough. Then the tone shifts for a rare, must-hear conversation as Joe Pags sits down with acclaimed actor Giancarlo Esposito. They dive into his life and legendary career, sharing heartfelt stories about their Italian fathers, family, faith, and the moments that shaped him as an artist and a man. It's honest, emotional, and unforgettable—an hour that starts fast and furious and ends with real depth. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Nicolle Wallace covers the Washington Post's reporting that ICE is targeting children, as well as using children to arrest the adults in their lives.

President Donald Trump made headlines with two speeches this week. First came his sprawling, stream-of-consciousness address in the White House briefing room on Tuesday. Then, his barbed remarks about fellow world leaders at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.Trump concluded the week with a purported deal on America's future role in Greenland – but it remains unclear what that deal will entail.“A lot of what we've seen from Trump during his political career, but specifically over the last year is … notching the win before the details are worked out,” White House reporter Cleve Wootson said on this week's episode of the “Post Reports” politics roundtable. “He gets to walk away from Davos saying: I got what I wanted from these European leaders. America has won.”Wootson spoke on the podcast with host Colby Itkowitz and Dan Merica, co-anchor of the politics newsletter The Early Brief. They also talk about the 2026 midterms, and why Democrats are newly optimistic about their chances in the Senate.“The map is not overall very favorable to them,” Colby says, “but they're suddenly looking at it and thinking: We might be able to do this.”Today's show was produced by Thomas Lu and Josh Carroll.

Trump, trying desperately to distract from a new cycle from hell (Greenland fail; Supreme Court fail; Jack Smith fail), just filed a lawsuit against JP Morgan Chase and Jamie Dimond for “debanking” Trump and some of his companies, and “blackllsiting” them, that now opens him up to depositions and discovery about: a) his companies Tax Fraud convictions; b his companies and children's civil fraud judgment and court ordered monitor; c) his more than 75 felony counts of indictments, and last but not least, an alleged $8 million dollar loan into Truth Social from sources linked to Putin and a porn-industry bank in Domenica reported in the Washington Post. Popok takes a hard look at the complaint and points out that it is factually at odds with another suit filed by Trump against the WaPo in Sarasota, Florida, in 2023.

Donald Trump continues to lash out at the press and its coverage of his second term. The FBI raided the home of a Washington Post reporter and confiscated her devices. Authorities say it was part of an investigation into classified documents, but federal regulations to preserve press freedom and protect sources traditionally prevent such invasive action. Former Washington Post Executive Editor Marty Baron joins the show to discuss.  Also on today's show: Mahmood Mamdani, father of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani; National Geographic Fellow Paul Salopek  Learn more about your ad choices.

Over the last several years, catastrophic floods have washed out parts of eastern Kentucky and southern West Virginia, as well as North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee. Why are the mountains getting so much flooding? And what do frequent major storms mean for the future? Inside Appalachia host Mason Adams spoke with Brady Dennis with The Washington Post. He and a team of journalists investigated those questions. The post Understanding Flooding In Appalachia, This West Virginia Morning appeared first on West Virginia Public Broadcasting.

On this week's episode, Nathan and Chris are joined by Keza MacDonald – currently of The Guardian and formerly of Kotaku UK way back in the day – to talk about her new book, Super Nintendo: The Game-Changing Company That Unlocked the Power of Play. We discuss Nintendo's vast history, dating all the way back to 1889, as well as how its innovative past gave way to the Switch 2 era, perhaps its most iterative yet. Keza also tells us all sorts of stories about legendary figures like Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto, who despite his sunny exterior, is actually a very intense boss. Also, that famous “a delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad” quote? He didn't say it!

Iranian director Jafar Panahi has been making social cinema since the 1990s. His work follows everyday Iranians and their struggles against societal forces. In 2010 the director received a ban on filmmaking from the Iranian government, and in 2022 he was imprisoned after he inquired into a fellow filmmaker's arrest. Despite being jailed and censored, Panahi has continued to work. His films such as "The Circle,” “Taxi” and “No Bears” have won awards from the top film festivals in the world. Now his latest film, “It Was Just an Accident,” has been nominated for two Oscars for best international feature film and best original screenplay. The film follows a group of former Iranian political prisoners who kidnap a man they suspect was their torturer, but they aren't totally sure it's him. Panahi shot the film in secret in Iran because he didn't have official government permission to make it. While it is receiving critical acclaim around the world, it's being repressed in Iran, where the government recently handed Panahi a new prison sentence. Today on “Post Reports” Elahe Izadi speaks with Jafar Panahi about how he made “It Was Just an Accident” and why he is planning to return to Iran once his awards campaign is over. The two spoke this month, before this week's Oscar nominations and the most recent escalation of anti-government demonstrations and crackdowns in Iran. Today's show was produced by Lucas Trevor, Joshua Carroll and Sam Bair, who also mixed it. It was edited by Elana Gordon and Peter Bresnan, with help from Reena Flores.Thanks to Neon for movie clips and photos.Subscribe to The Washington Post here. And watch us on YouTube here.

Today's Headlines: President Donald Trump remains in Davos, where he delivered an 80-minute speech packed with familiar grievances, questionable claims — including that “Canada lives because of the United States” — and repeatedly mixed up Iceland and Greenland. For now, he's pulled back threats of military action and additional tariffs on Europe, claiming instead that he's reached a vague “framework” with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte over Greenland, which he described as an “infinite deal,” without offering details. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to meet with Trump to discuss U.S. security guarantees and post-ceasefire reconstruction, while Trump's unofficial envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff met with a Putin-linked negotiator in Davos and are headed to Moscow for more talks. Back in the U.S., tensions are escalating in Minnesota. Alongside 1,500 troops already on standby, the Pentagon has placed roughly 300 additional soldiers at Fort Bragg on notice in case Trump invokes the Insurrection Act amid ongoing Minneapolis protests. In Congress, the House Oversight Committee voted to hold Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt over their refusal to testify about Jeffrey Epstein, while declining to hold Attorney General Pam Bondi in contempt for failing to release the Epstein files. Ghislaine Maxwell is scheduled to give a virtual deposition on February 9. Meanwhile, the administration admitted in court that Elon Musk's DOGE-linked team improperly accessed and shared Americans' Social Security data, and a federal judge ordered the FBI to temporarily stop searching devices seized from Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson and return them pending further review.

Lawmakers appear on the brink of passing a spending bill for the Department of Health and Human Services and a bipartisan health policy bill delayed for over a year. But the outlook is considerably bleaker for the health care outline released by President Donald Trump last week. Sheryl Gay Stolberg of The New York Times, Paige Winfield Cunningham of The Washington Post, and Sandhya Raman of CQ Roll Call join KFF Health News' Julie Rovner to discuss those stories and more. Also this week, Rovner interviews oncologist and bioethicist Ezekiel Emanuel to discuss his new book, “Eat Your Ice Cream: Six Simple Rules for a Long and Healthy Life.” Plus, for “extra credit” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week that they think you should read, too: Julie Rovner: CIDRAP's “Minnesota Residents Delay Medical Care for Fear of Encountering ICE,” by Liz Szabo.  Sheryl Gay Stolberg: Rolling Stone's “HHS Gave a $1.6 Million Grant to a Controversial Vaccine Study. These Emails Show How That Happened,” by Katherine Eban.  Paige Winfield Cunningham: Politico's “RFK Jr. Is Bringing the GOP and the Trial Bar Together,” by Amanda Chu. Sandhya Raman: Popular Information's “ICE Has Stopped Paying for Detainee Medical Treatment,” by Judd Legum.  

George Metesky's campaign of terror as ‘the Mad Bomber of New York' ended abruptly on 22nd January, 1957. Between 1940 and 1956, he had planted at least 32 bombs in public places, including theatres, railway stations, libraries, and landmarks such as Grand Central Terminal.  Police arrived just before midnight at his modest home in Waterbury, Connecticut, which he shared with his two sisters, and asked him for a handwriting sample. A search of his garage revealed bomb components matching those used in attacks across the city, along with a partially-assembled device larger than any found before. His arrest brought relief to a city that had lived with an intermittent but persistent threat for over a generation. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain Metesky's long-simmering grievance against his former employer, the Consolidated Edison Company; discover how the  breakthrough in the case came only when police consulted psychiatrist James Brussel; and reveal how Metesky underwent a surprising recovery in institutional care…  Further Reading: • ‘Unmasking the Mad Bomber' (Smithsonian, 2017): https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/unmasking-the-mad-bomber-180962469/ • ‘Decades before Cesar Sayoc, Mad Bomber George Metesky terrorized New York City' (The Washington Post, 2018): https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2018/10/27/unhinged-unrelenting-mad-bomber-who-terrorized-new-york/ • ‘How New York's First Terrorist Led to the Birth of Criminal Profiling' (The New Yorker, 2018): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdLNbsoPD5c #NewYork #Crime #50s #Strange Love the show?

Recently, the Washington Post ran a story headlined "8 political sex scandals that threw the nation into a frenzy." Longtime Post reporter Roxanne Roberts wrote that story. Here's one politician who made Roxanne Roberts' list: "We're all going to have to seriously question the system for selecting our national leaders that reduces the press of this nation to hunters and presidential candidates to being hunted, that has reporters in bushes, false and inaccurate stories printed, photographers peeking in our windows, swarms of helicopters hovering over our roof and my very strong wife close to tears because she can't even get in her own house at night without being harassed. And then, after all that, ponderous pundits wonder in mock seriousness why some of the best people in this country choose not to run for high office."   Who was that and how did he get on the list of 8? Who are the other seven? What's the history behind each of the frenzies? And what do they all have in common? In the latest episode of C-SPAN's podcast "Extreme Mortman" – find out. Our very special guest -- Roxanne Roberts herself – she goes through each of the political sex scandals which made her Washington Post list. And we hear clips about the scandals from most of the politicians and those individuals they were involved with. It's a special two-parter of "Extreme Mortman." This week's episode is part 2.

Last week's Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Kentanji Brown Jackson proved that the GOP are a bunch of racist goons. But if that wasn't enough, the Washington Post revealed texts from Ginni Thomas, (wife of Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas), sent to Trump's chief of staff Mark Meadows that were nothing short of insane; invoking Jesus Christ himself to overturn the election and threatening that “the Biden Crime Family would be sent to barges off Gitmo.” Later Rick Wilson joins to diagnose the sickness at the heart of the MAGA era GOP.

When U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced the death of a detainee at a Texas detention camp this month, the agency initially gave no cause of death. A fellow detainee said he witnessed Geraldo Lunas Campos being choked to death by guards; ICE said “staff observed him in distress.” Seeking answers, Lunas Campos's family called El Paso County's Office of the Medical Examiner, and an employee told them that – subject to the result of a toxicology report – the office is likely to classify Lunas Campos's death as a homicide. Today on “Post Reports,” investigative reporter Douglas MacMillan tries to find out what really caused the death of a detainee – and takes us inside the black box of the largest detention camp in the United States. Today's show was produced by Emma Talkoff. It was edited by Ariel Plotnick, Dennis Funk and Martine Powers and mixed by Sean Carter.Thanks also to Juliet Eilperin.

In this episode of The Child Psych Podcast, we're joined by Alyssa Blask Campbell—educator, emotional-development expert, and author of the bestselling book Tiny Humans, Big Emotions. Alyssa invites us into the heart of her groundbreaking framework, the Collaborative Emotion Processing (CEP) method—a research-based approach designed to help parents and educators respond to children's emotions with intention rather than reactivity.Through this rich conversation, Alyssa explains what it truly means to process emotions collaboratively, starting with the adult's ability to regulate their own nervous system. She shares how the CEP method reframes emotional moments not as crises to fix, but as opportunities for connection and co-regulation. Together, we explore how this framework helps both parents and teachers move beyond behaviour management and into deeper relational understanding—where curiosity, empathy, and attunement replace power struggles and frustration.Alyssa's insights offer a refreshing reminder that emotional intelligence begins with us. When adults pause, breathe, and reflect before reacting, they model the very skills children need to thrive. Her work bridges cutting-edge neuroscience with compassionate, practical tools that fit into everyday life—whether you're navigating a toddler tantrum, a classroom meltdown, or the quiet undercurrent of stress in your own body.Tune in for an inspiring and empowering conversation about what it means to raise and teach with emotional awareness, and how cultivating calm within ourselves is the most powerful gift we can give the children in our care.Alyssa Blask Campbell, M.Ed., is an emotional development expert, teacher, parent, and the founder and CEO of Seed & Sew—a global platform dedicated to raising emotionally intelligent humans by supporting the adults who care for them. She holds a Master's degree in Early Childhood Education and is the creator of the Collaborative Emotion Processing (CEP) method, a research-based framework that helps parents and educators respond to children's emotions with intention rather than reactivity.Alyssa is also the host of the popular Voices of Your Village podcast and author of Tiny Humans, Big Emotions (HarperCollins), where she translates the science of emotional intelligence into practical, compassionate tools for everyday life. Her work has been featured in The Washington Post and other major outlets, and she has trained educators and families across the globe on how to build connection through co-regulation and nervous system awareness.LInk to Alyssa's books: Tiny Humans, Big Emotions , and Big Kids, Bigger Feelings Sensory Quiz: https://www.seedandsew.org/linksThe Parent Coach:We're launching The Parent Coach—your new go-to place for instant parenting support.

This episode is brought to you by Basecamp, the world's simplest, most effective project management platform. Check them out at https://basecamp.com and tell them David Perell sent you. Fareed Zakaria is one of the world's leading journalists. Maybe you've seen him on CNN. Maybe you've read his books. Or maybe you've read his articles in the Washington Post. This conversation is a university-level seminar in the craft of writing, which builds upon the thousands of articles Fareed's written over his career. It's a guidepost for anybody who wants to write non-fiction. How do you develop expertise? How should you structure your days? What kinds of deadlines should you set? We also talked about how The Great Gatsby shaped his perspective on America, when to rely on anecdotes vs. data, and the skills that'll remain scarce as AI breaks through the Turing Test and becomes a hyper-competent writer. The through-line of Fareed's work is a philosophy of purposeful practice: watching all his TV performances to see how he can improve, reading great writing to absorb what excellence looks like, and using the deadlines of TV and newspaper columns to write consistently. About the host Hey! I'm David Perell and I'm a writer, teacher, and podcaster. I believe writing online is one of the biggest opportunities in the world today.

Elisabet Svane, political analyst at Politiken in Denmark, and Michael Birnbaum, White House reporter for The Washington Post discuss their approach.

Burning Down Your Own House #RTTBROS #Nightlight"Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise." — Proverbs 20:1You know, sometimes the stories that teach us the most are the ones that make us shake our heads and think, "How in the world did that happen?" Let me share one with you that's almost too wild to believe.Have you heard the story of Waylon Prendergast? This Tampa, Florida, man had been out drinking when he decided to rob a house on his way home. The drunken man forced his way into the house, filled a suitcase he found there with the valuables he discovered, and made his way to the living room. In his stupor he decided it would be a good idea to set a fire to cover his tracks, so he ignited a blaze before making his way out the back door. Thinking he was home free, he continued on to his house, only to find three fire trucks parked outside fighting the blaze he had set to cover his theft from his own home.I wish I could say that was just a made-up story to prove a point, but it really happened. And here's what strikes me about it: Waylon's story is a perfect picture of what sin does in our lives, especially when we're under the influence of something that clouds our judgment.The Bible doesn't pull any punches about alcohol. It says wine is a mocker and strong drink is raging. Those aren't just poetic words, they're a warning. When we're deceived by drink, we can't trust our own decision-making. We end up doing things that hurt the very life we're trying to live.But here's the thing, and I've learned this too soon old and too late smart, it's not just alcohol that makes us burn down our own houses. It's any sin we think we can control, any habit we think we can manage, any compromise we think won't really hurt us. We tell ourselves we're in control, that we're just having a little fun, that we deserve this, that nobody will know. And before we realize it, we've set fire to our own peace, our own family, our own walk with God.According to a study published in The Washington Post a few years ago, almost one-third of adults in America admit they either have now or have had in the past a problem with drinking. None of these people started out intending to become alcoholics or dependent on their next drink to make it through the day. But that is where the path they set out on leads.The good news is this: God's grace is stronger than any chain that binds us. But we have to be honest about what's holding us. We have to stop pretending we're robbing someone else's house when we're actually destroying our own. The first step to freedom is recognizing the deception for what it is.So let me ask you today: what are you playing with that's actually playing with you? What habit are you protecting that's slowly destroying what you love? God's Word gives us wisdom not to rob us of joy, but to keep us from burning down our own lives.Let's pray: Father, give us the courage to see the truth about the things we've been deceived by. Help us release whatever is clouding our judgment and destroying what we love. Thank You that Your grace is bigger than our mistakes, and Your truth sets us free.

Protests continue in Minnesota after the state sued to stop President Trump's surge of immigration agents to a city still reeling from the death of Renee Good. After mulling where we are one year into this administration, Mary and Andrew zero in on Trump's revived desire to invoke the Insurrection Act, as Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey become the targets of a federal inquiry. Adding to the tumult, numerous Minnesota prosecutors have quit over the pretense of an investigation into the wife of Renee Good. The co-hosts then turn to Boston, where Judge William Young rebuked government attacks on free speech, outlining an order he'll issue to restrict deportations of noncitizen scholars.

Over the weekend, President Donald Trump sent an unusual text to the prime minister of Norway. The two leaders had been messaging about Greenland – specifically, Trump's threats to impose tariffs on European countries opposed to the United States taking over the autonomous Danish territory. Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store said in a statement that he had been trying to de-escalate the situation. President Trump responded by linking his insistence on taking over Greenland to his grievance over not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize – bestowed yearly by the Nobel Committee in Norway. Today on “Post Reports,” London bureau chief Steve Hendrix joins host Martine Powers with the latest on Trump's bid for Greenland, how it all comes back to his perceived Peace Prize snub, and how his obsession is starting to have a real impact on geopolitics. Today's show was produced by Rennie Svirnovskiy. It was edited by Dennis Funk and mixed by Sean Carter. Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

From the affordability crisis and the data center boom, to the US government's campaign to reinvigorate the Venezuelan oil market, energy is dominating headlines in unusual ways.  And that's all happening against a backdrop of upheaval in federal energy policy, which started on day one of the second Trump administration. As we begin the new year and head into midterm elections, there's a dizzying number of crucial energy policy issues at play. So what issues are shaping US climate and energy policymaking in 2026? How might upcoming court rulings change things? As high utility bills persist, how is the public responding to changes in energy policy? And what stories or trends are not being told amid all of these important energy storylines? Today on the show, Bill Loveless speaks with reporters Maxine Joselow and Josh Siegel about covering energy and climate policy, and what key stories and trends they're covering in 2026. Maxine Joselow is a reporter for The New York Times where she covers climate policy from Washington D.C.
