  • Coleman Hughes Special: Israel, Hamas & the Myth of Moral Equivalence

    Coleman Hughes Special: Israel, Hamas & the Myth of Moral Equivalence
    Aug 4 2025
    In this special episode, I take on probably the most controversial and emotionally fraught topic of the moment: the Israel-Hamas conflict. I think war crimes have been committed on both sides. But that doesn’t mean I think the two sides are morally equivalent. Today, I argue that there’s a fundamental asymmetry between Israel and Hamas, one that’s too often blurred or ignored by the mainstream media. Israel’s actions, while sometimes flawed or tragic in consequence, are ultimately rooted in a defensive logic. Hamas, on the other hand, has explicitly genocidal goals. But where does that leave us when we see images of children starving and hear reports that Israel is responsible? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Hollywood's Death By Algorithm w/ Justine Bateman

    Hollywood's Death By Algorithm w/ Justine Bateman
    Jul 28 2025
    Filmmaker and digital rights activist Justine Bateman joins me for a conversation on how AI is warping Hollywood and why the content we consume feels increasingly hollow. We dive into the decline of originality, the studios' addiction to algorithms, and how the “double-screen” era (watching while scrolling) has rewired audience expectations, pushing creators toward louder, faster, and shallower stories. Can art survive the attention economy?

  • Do The Democrats Really Need ‘Their Own Trump’ To Win? w/ Galen Druke

    Do The Democrats Really Need ‘Their Own Trump’ To Win? w/ Galen Druke
    Jul 21 2025
    This week I sat down with political analyst Galen Druke to talk about what actually moves public opinion and shifts voter behavior. We got into why some people viewed Donald Trump as the more moderate choice in 2016, what that says about how voters think, and how Democrats might get back into the national conversation in a real way. We also talked about how polls work, when they matter, and what they often miss about what voters actually care about.
