In January of this year, Katie sat down with Vice President Kamala Harris for a rare one-on-one interview in her ceremonial office at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. At the time, a Trump-Biden rematch seemed inevitable. But then, in the weeks following his poor performance in the first presidential debate in late June, President Biden’s future as his party’s candidate was suddenly anything but certain. After increasing calls for him to drop out of the race, he announced he would end his campaign and endorsed Vice President Harris to run in his place on July 21st. Now, as this long election year enters a brand new chapter, it’s the perfect moment to have a closer listen to Katie’s expansive, in-depth conversation with the likely Democratic presidential nominee. It gets to the heart of what’s at stake in this race, and offers one of the clearest pictures we have of what a future Harris administration could look like.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It’s hard to believe it’s been 25 years since John F Kennedy Jr, his wife Carolyn Bessette, and her sister Lauren Bessette, died in a plane crash. On July 16, 1999, the plane, piloted by John, went down off the coast of Massachusetts–shocking the world. Just a few months prior, Katie sat down with John for what would be his last television interview. Now, for a special two-part remembrance, she reflects back on that fleeting moment in time when John and Carolyn captivated the public’s imagination and talks to the authors of two new books about them, contemplating their scrutinized lives, their fierce love, and their enduring legacy. Today we bring you companion episodes remembering John and Carolyn, as well as Lauren–their scrutinized lives, their fierce love, and their enduring legacy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 2020, Joe Biden stood on stage with Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, and our guest today, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and declared himself a “bridge” candidate, hinting at a single term. Now, as he runs for reelection amid heavy scrutiny, the low rumble of approval that has met Whitmer’s term at Michigan’s helm has amplified into a clamor by some for her to step into a larger leadership role in the future Democratic party. Sitting down with Next Question during the Aspen Ideas Festival, Whitmer discussed her role in preserving abortion rights in Michigan and managing the state during COVID-19, among other accomplishments–all of which she did while fielding truly terrifying personal attacks and a kidnapping plot from the MAGA right wing. Gretchen for President? Maybe someday. But here today, her resilience and focus on key issues position her as a prominent future Democratic leader who inspires!

Jon Favreau and Tommy Vietor, co-hosts of Pod Save America and founders of Crooked Media, remember when politics felt hopeful. Their latest venture, after working for Obama, starting Crooked Media, and launching a slew of great ventures and podcasts, is a user's guide to American government: Democracy or Else: How to Save America in 10 Easy Steps. They are some of the most informed, level-headed, and hilarious political voices around, and their book is the antidote to feeling stressed out, beat down, and powerless over politics. You certainly don’t have to be a political junky to appreciate that!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

corrupt sex molesters.
If you want to reinvigorate journalism, maybe start by not editing the comments of one of America's most important people when she spoke on one of the day's biggest issues. Just a suggestion
I don’t disagree with much of what this kids says lmao I mean his “alt right” friends are basically right lmao this dude turned back into a snowflake, also nice way to focus on the right here because antics and black nationalists like Farrakhan don’t exist either... but it shouldn’t even be able parties there’s always loose cannons in all camps but you basically are saying all the stuff we have issues with is to blame because of right wing politics not biased at all here
Not to mention that porn sites have SUPER violent cartoon / anime porn pop up "commercials".. extra enticing to young men. Horrible and non-consensual imagery, total rape culture. Very troubling. And all for free??? NOTHING IS FREE MAN!
Another one sided podcast hosting "professionals" with the same thought process as her. Why talk about an "epidemic" if you won't listen to both sides of the story? garbage!
Katie just absolutely nailed it! There does, in fact, need to be an entirely separated HR organization, that does not answer to the very company involved; being investigated! There is no way possible, that the very company being questioned, would not be under an umbrella of major bias and fear. Look at the shit show at Fox with Ailes. Those women were fucking terrified! Now all that has come out with NBC, CBS, the cover-ups and mistreatment of these already exploited women. The very way NBC treated, ousted, Ann Curry, allowing Matt Lauer's further ascension as well as his protection, is not only flat ass corrupt, but also an act of intimidation, and a move to silence and prevent women from coming forward. That was an extremely loud way to vocalize their position! If someone as prominent as Ann could be so easily disposed, then who of those underneath her could believe they had any chance of being believed or treated fairly?! How infuriating. The silence culture was, is, everywhere. We
this podcast is made from the point of view of a moderately feminist person. I think is biasd and takes into consideration only the esperience of women that does not enjoy it. its like walking into a vegan restaurant and ask if they were asked to eat meat and finding out they did to try to fit in. In the past 3 years I dated 2 women. both told me "I like it rough" when we got intimate. I had seen videos but I had never done anything like it. I could have said no but I did not. was it consensual?
since october 2018 Castbox does not show new episodes anymore 😕
love Katie's singing
I don't think you needed to question Mona further about Minster Farrakhan. She was absolutely on point that he has been trying to uplift his people who do indeed deserve reparations which mainstream America refuses to address. NOI an offshoot of mainstream Islam that needs to considered in relation to African Americans rather than Muslims orArabs - don't confuse the two
This is a great podcast show. My name is Sal. . I have been a Katie Couric fan since she started on the today show. This podcast is a great show and is very entertaining and we'll performed.
