Welcome to Crimetown, a series produced by Marc Smerling and Zac Stuart-Pontier in partnership with Gimlet Media. Each season, we investigate the culture of crime in a different city. In Season 2, Crimetown heads to the heart of the Rust Belt: Detroit, Michigan. From its heyday as Motor City to its rebirth as the Brooklyn of the Midwest, Detroit’s history reflects a series of issues that strike at the heart of American identity: race, poverty, policing, loss of industry, the war on drugs, an ...

Left Right & Center is for listeners who feel like people on the other side of the political divide are on Mars. David Greene pieces together the big picture by inviting people from the left and the right to unpack their ideological differences, not to smooth them over, and look at what’s truly at stake. The show offers a rare kind of clarity. It doesn’t ask you to agree. It asks you to look more closely at what’s happening and to challenge your assumptions. You might not always agree – you ...

While the Epstein Files Story Dominates, Trump and His Regime Become Increasingly Irreverent

This week, the Epstein Files scandal continued to dominate the news, despite Trump and his regime’s best efforts to distract with shiny coins and conspiracy theories. Trump didn’t help himself much in the effort to change the subject, and he continued to bring up the topic while visiting Scotland. Notably, in Scotland he showcased his golf courses while conducting presidential business, something that in the first regime would have gotten much more attention but now seemingly has been normalized.
Which brings me to covering Trump and the truth. A setback this week as the Washington Post fact checker took an early buyout, and the Jeff Bezos-owned paper made no effort to ensure the continuation of his work. Notably, Bezos has been vying for more government business after Trump’s split with Elon Musk. The Paramount-Skydance merger closed, with unprecedented contingencies put in place by the Federal Trade Commission, again in an effort to stifle media coverage and accountability for Trump.
Some shocking developments of capitulation this week, including Columbia University settling with the regime for more than $200 million, and reportedly Harvard University considering doing the same. The Senate voted 50–49 to confirm Emil Bove to a judicial role, with almost all Republicans playing along with Trump, despite three whistleblowers coming forward. Troubling stories continue at the Environmental Protection Agency, Health and Human Services, and the Pentagon. The Justice Department has also set new troubling precedents in extending what are meant to be temporary roles.
