The Al Franken PodcastAri Berman on the GOP’s Gerrymandering PlotWith Donald Trump and the Republican Party low in the polls, Texas is resorting to one of their favorite ways to win voters: cheating. They’ve drawn new maps to implement unprecedented gerrymandering, taking away five Democratic-held seats - all done at Trump’s insistence, of course.
We're joined by Ari Berman, national voting rights correspondent for Mother Jones, to walk us through Texas Governor Abbott’s scheme. Democrats are attempting to fight back in Texas and across the country… even if it is a fight they are likely to lose.

The Most Important QuestionHow Saving Salamanders Could Save Us AllIn every flood scarred bend of an Appalachian river sits a chance to rebuild something stronger, cleaner water for people, and room for a 160 million-year salamander to thrive again. Hurricane-shaped chaos is unveiling a surprising truth when we restore stream banks, fund green storm water projects, and protect keystone species like the Eastern Hellbender, we don't just rescue wildlife, we buffer towns and farms and drinking water intakes against the next big storm. The same fixes that help a snot otter bounce back can future-proof entire communities like yours and mine. So what can I...

The Things We KnowWives; Trad, Sad or Rad?In this episode, Kari and Lisa attempt to understand the rise of the "tradwife" trend—women embracing ultra-traditional gender roles in the name of choice, femininity, and fulfillment. They unpack how the seemingly harmless aesthetic of domestic bliss on social media can carry deeper political and cultural implications. Referencing articles from The New Yorker, Ms. Magazine, Mother Jones, and more, they explore how the tradwife movement intersects with conservative ideology, online influence, and what critics assume is the loss of women's agency. It's a nuanced and necessary conversation about freedom, feminism, and the cost of romanticizing the past.

The Mother Jones PodcastStop the COVID Shaming!For many people who contract the coronavirus, shame is an underreported side-effect. Its symptoms are intense bewilderment about the cause of infection, reluctance to engage with healthcare systems, and discomfort disclosing the diagnosis to friends and family. The internal dynamic is likely reinforced by the public shaming that follows news stories about crowds of spring breakers not following social distancing rules. Or the Instagram account dedicated to calling out parties and gatherings. Or the tweets about how people who dine indoors are selfish morons.
