Episodes
Every weekday we take the news apart and put it back together honestly. Here's a run of recent conversations — politics, the press, faith, and the culture.
Fear, disappointment, and the people we vote for
We talk through why both parties keep letting the everyday American down — and the habit we have of voting the same way anyway.
Christians in the culture: speak up or stand back?
A frank conversation about faith in public life and where the line really sits between conviction and noise.
Reading the press so you don't have to
We line up the same story across three outlets and find out who's actually telling it straight.
What "average American" even means anymore
The phrase gets thrown around by everyone selling something. We try to give it back to the people it belongs to.
When the headline and the facts don't match
A walk through a week of coverage where the framing did most of the work — and the story underneath got lost.
Guests, not gatekeepers
Why we bring on voices we disagree with, and what an honest argument sounds like when nobody's playing for the camera.
The local story the national press skipped
Sometimes the thing that matters most never makes it past the city limits. We go find it.
