    Ep. 24 - Talking Zohran with the "Was Tun?" Podcast
    Nov 3 2025

    I was on the German podcast Was Tun? with Inken Behrmann and Valentin Ihßen talking about the Zohran campaign in the final stretch of the NYC mayor's race. It was such a great conversation I thought I'd post it here as well so you can all get your Russ fill while the getting is good. Check them out, especially if you sprechen sie Deutsch: https://linktr.ee/wastun?utm_source=linktree_profile_share

    Jul 16 2025

    Susan Glasser interviews her old pal Fiona Hill, who you might remember because she's the former national security official with an English accent who testified against Trump during his first impeachment trial. The New Yorker Political Scene appears to be on a summer hiatus, so they've apparently pre-recorded this and other interviews to roll out around their favorite subjects while Glasser, Evan Osnos and Jane Mayer soak up the sun at their respective beach homes.
