Chapo Trap House - 977 – The Next Day feat. Ryan Grim and Jeremy Scahill

Drop Site’s Ryan Grim and Jeremy Scahill return to talk more about the ceasefire deal in Gaza. We discuss what finally led to this moment, whether this ceasefire will be any different than the previous ones, and the future of Gaza, Israel, and the Gulf States. We then turn to the media’s coverage of Gaza: Jeremy’s new story on The Free Press’ “debunking” of the photos of malnourished Gazan children, the news that Douglas Murray and David Frum were writing speeches for an Israeli ambassador, a supposed document from Mohammad Sinwar, and Jacki Karsh’s pro-Israel journalism fellowship.

Bad Faith - Episode 517 Promo – Abundance Blames The Left (w/ Aaron Regunberg & Kate Willett)

The battle for control over the Democratic Party continues with liberal gatekeeper Jonathan Chait arguing, yet again, that the party’s failures are a consequence of being too beholden to the "left" -- even while corporate Dems got the 2024 campaign of their dreams. Former RI State Rep. Aaron Regunberg wrote a definitive response to these arguments and made the case for why left populism is the only way to beat right populism, and Kate Willett joins to talk about the Abundance faction that informs Chait's thinking and the choices of the Democratic elite.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Year 1925

If you look at the grand sweep of human history, there are centuries where seemingly little happens, and there are decades where centuries take place. 

The first 25 years of the 20th century were one of the most intense periods of change in history. 

Empires fell, social norms were overturned, science and technology made radical advances, and the world experienced its greatest war ever. 

Learn more about the world in the year 1925 and how much it changed since 1900 on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Pick A Color takes place over a single day at the salon and it’s the first novel by Souvankham Thammavongsa. In today’s episode, the poet and short story writer speaks with NPR’s Scott Simon about Ning’s background as a prizefighter, what Thammavongsa has observed as a salon customer, and the author’s distinction between knowledge and intelligence.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Prohibition (Encore)

On January 16, 1919, the 18th Amendment to the US Constitution was passed. It banned the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcohol. 

The path to the 18th Amendment was something that was almost a century in the making, and once it was passed, it was widely ignored both illegally and through numerous legal loopholes. 

Finally, after being in place for almost 14 years, it was repealed with overwhelming popular support using a constitutional method that has never been used before or since.

Learn more about prohibition, how it came about, and how it ended on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
