The Gist - Teasing Trump

Along with the entirety of the Democratic party, part of the resistance to the re-election of Donald Trump in 2020 were a gaggle of storied Republican message creators who joined forces to defeat the sitting President. They called themselves The Lincoln Project, and they allowed directors Karim Amer (The Vow, The Great Hack) and Fisher Stevens (Dirty Money, Before the Flood) behind the scenes to document this movement in action. The result is The Lincoln Project, a Showtime series that premiered last week and releases a new chapter every Friday. All episodes are available now on Paramount+. Mike sits down with the filmmakers to talk about the wild ride they went on. Plus, at election time candidate quality really matters … in the Senate. Don’t worry about the House.

Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara

CrowdScience - How is mental health being supported in Africa?

One in every eight people live with a mental health disorder, so if that’s not you, it’s likely to be a close friend or family member. Despite there being a variety of known treatments, globally the majority of people suffering do not receive any medical support.

Presenter Marnie Chesterton is joined by a live audience and panel of experts - psychiatrist David Ndetei, psychotherapist Reson Sindiyo and mental health journalist Dannish Odongo - to get to the heart of what’s going on in our heads.

They discuss issues from taboo and superstition around mental health, to the treatment methods being used in Kenya that the rest of the world should know about.
