Description
Welcome to the NEW HOME of Mea Culpa – the ONLY place to find new episodes of Michael Cohen’s hit podcast. Cohen, the former attorney and personal “fixer” for Donald J. Trump, once vowed to take a bullet for the President. But that was before the country was brought to its knees by Trump’s lies and personal madness. While Cohen was imprisoned in his own home, with his life, reputation, and livelihood destroyed, he went on a mission to right the wrongs he perpetuated on behalf of his former boss. Mea Culpa with Michael Cohen, is a raw and unfiltered podcast that shines light into the dark corners of our current American Apocalypse. Tune in twice weekly for exclusive interviews and candid conversations with the New York Times best-selling author and self-proclaimed “gangster lawyer,” as he sets to dismantle the Trump legacy and uncover the truth… and nothing but the truth.

2Today we welcome back to our show, political satirist and digital comedian, Walter Masterson, a progressive video content creator who has turned trolling the whole MAGA shit-show into an art form. The video he shot while working on the frontlines during the January 6th insurrection has been instrumental in helping the FBI apprehend rioters who were stupid enough to brag about their crimes on tape. Walt’s even brave enough to interact with users who both love and hate him on Twitch and Snapchat. Masterson has been trolling anti-abortion groups and been following the conversation happening now on college campuses.

We welcome back to the show, Tony Schwartz. A former columnist for The New York Post, and associate editor at Newsweek, he was also a reporter for The New York Times, and staff writer at New York Magazine and Esquire. In 1985, Schwartz began interviewing Donald Trump to ghostwrite Trump: “The Art of the Deal” for which he was given co-author credit. Art of the Deal was published in 1987 and some say it’s what sold Trump to the public as a successful businessman. Tony is here today to talk about how Trump ticks and just how traumatizing his current legal predicaments are bound to be.

I just found the comment section. I love your podcast. I look forward to Friday and Monday mornings to here them..my only critique is that you let your guest speak or finish their thoughts more often. I know you get excited at times and you cut them off to put your 2 cents in. then they lose track at finishing what they were going to say. I know it's your show, but please let them finish their thoughts. Robert G. in Texas
Nancy Mace is from South Carolina. We in NC have our own crazies, we don't need her too.
Traitor Trump has got to be losing his little mind.
hey Michael I love the podcast. one thing that I can suggest, if I may. Let your guests speak , there are times that you cut them off , out of excitement. Let them speak, they are guests with knowledge. That's my only critique of the show.
Mr. Cohen, I am in YVR at 7:00 in the morning with my in-laws, wife and toddler, waiting for a flight to Orange county, I really don't want to be on this trip. so I put on your podcast and within the first 5 minutes I have a smile on my face.
Thank you & Fred for a great show! Keep telling us what we must do to save our democracy & our children's lives. Time to get in the race, Michael. You'll scare the bejesus out of the competition!
pam is a wise lady I like listening to her xx
I just do not understand why there’s so many moronic people who STILL give that clown #trumpthetraitior money Just really ignorant people.
I threaten my son to vote blue. He knows better not to. 😂
brilliant as always
I didn’t know there’s a newer mea culpa. lol was late to the party.
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the "Mea Culpa" podcast. The show's exploration of personal accountability and the art of apology is both insightful and thought-provoking. The host's ability to engage with a wide range of guests, from experts in psychology to individuals who've experienced public scrutiny, provides a multifaceted perspective on the topic. https://managementmania.com/en/personal/companies/kraft-paper-printer The podcast delves into the complexities of taking responsibility for one's actions and the different forms that apologies can take. It's crucial in a society that often demands accountability from public figures, and this podcast offers a valuable platform for discussions around this subject. https://www.fyple.co.uk/company/kraft-paper-printer-t8pb4tg/
