The Commentary Magazine Podcast - Dark Times for Ukraine

Donald Trump's moves to end the war between Russia and Ukraine suggests he is pursuing a kind of foreign policy we haven't seen in the United States since the 1920s and 1930s. What are the consequences of that? And what of Hamas announcing it will free three hostages this weekend after "suspending" the release earlier this week? Give a listen.

Honestly with Bari Weiss - How to Find Love in 2025

Running The Free Press is Bari’s hobby, but her true passion is being a yenta. And one thing Bari has learned from talking to young singles is that there is a total breakdown of sexual relations these days between men and women. 


Some blame social media, dating apps, or the alleged feminization of men. But Louise Perry blames the sexual revolution. In 2022, Louise wrote this for The Free Press: “The sexual revolution isn’t only a story of women freed from the burdens of chastity and motherhood. It’s a story about the triumph of the playboy.” This argument is the crux of her book, The Case Against the Sexual Revolution, which has just been adapted for young adults—called A New Guide to Sex in the 21st Century: The Young Adult Adaptation of ‘The Case Against the Sexual Revolution’.


This Valentine’s Day, Louise is here to explain how we went wrong as a society on dating, sex, porn, and marriage; how it is impacting women and men differently; how and if we can get back on track; how to date effectively in 2025; and how a revival of Christian sex ethics might be the answer.

1A - Strangers Share Their Love Stories With Author Trent Dalton

In 2021, Trent Dalton sat down with a typewriter on a busy corner in Brisbane, Australia, and asked people to tell him their love stories.

Those tales are now collected in his first book, "Love Stories." It's over 300 pages and talks about the meaning of love, from strangers and Dalton alike.

As a nod to Valentine's Day, we revisit our conversation with Dalton about his book "Love Stories."

We discuss what it means to know love and talk and how to talk about it with strangers.

The Bulwark Podcast - Carol Leonnig and Robert Putnam: Lies and Moral Obligations

If Republican senators had any shred of dignity left, they'd demand that Kash Patel answer why he brazenly lied under oath to them about the purge of agents at the FBI. Credible sources have come forward to say he was directing the whole thing. Meanwhile, Trump has leveled the playing field so companies doing business overseas can do all the bribing they want. Plus, our modern "boy problem," our genetic wiring to not be loners, and finding a way out of our polarization by seeing we have an obligation to respect and care for other people.
