How Can We Stop Two More Years of the Media's Trump/Biden Show?
It seems certain that Trump is going to run in 2024 against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris (or whoever). I was happy that mainstream media ratings were going down, but lately they've been adding in more Trump content and I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! The consequences of this on society are just too damaging. You guys focus on real issues like economic injustice but I am worried about this media cycle (which isn't new) going on and prolonging the change we need to see in society. I also think that Trump is in on it, being the tv man that he is. I am starting to lump Trump right in with elite democrats. Good tv and everyone profits. How can we truly STOP the mainstream media's destructive agenda and get more people to tuned into what is REALLY going on? I cannot take two more years of the trump vs. Democrat show... economic inequality is just getting worse. It's infuriating that the media is lifting up trump just so they can avoid talking about how their greed is killing people (and may have to let go of piece of their cushy lifestyles)... What can we do??
Listener Demographics
Been with you since The Hill and really appreciate the content you provide. You are my go-to podcast. During your year end show you scrolled a list of patrons. It was interesting to me that, by my take, upwards of 90% of your patrons are male. What are your demographics and is your viewership highly skewed male? If so, why? Do you think there is an underlying gender-based preference, one way or the other, in podcast listeners? From personal anecdotal observation, it does not seem to me that that there is bias on the part of listeners to prefer male or female hosts - it all comes down to content - which both of you provide exceptionally well. Just curious what you understand about your audience composition, and podcasts in general.. Joe Kubinec Hollywood, Maryland
What's the best book about US-China relations?
I'm interested in learning about the modern history of US-China relations, from Nixon's visit to Beijing in 1972 to the present, where our economies are so tied together that the US does nothing in response to the persecution of the Uighurs, the theft of intellectual property, and the Orwellian aspects of the Chinese Communist Party. What book would you recommend to learn about how we got here?
