About this listen

First, Ben dives into the early midterm battlegrounds — as Marsha Blackburn, Nancy Mace, and Roy Cooper jump into key races — and explains why Republicans cannot afford to coast despite a favorable Senate map. Then, Brit Hume joins to dissect the media’s Russiagate failures, the ethics disaster of Jim Acosta’s AI “interview,” and the corrosive role of anonymous sources in Washington journalism. Finally, culture writer Kat Rosenfield discusses everything from the internet’s public shaming culture to whether romance can survive in the age of apps. Learn more about your ad choices.
