In this week’s Ask Mo Anything (#AMA) podcast, Mosheh answers the following questions:
How is the team doing after covering the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk?
How can we get back to having conversations across the political aisle?
Are there any notable differences in CBS coverage after the Paramount/Skydance merger?
What's behind the difference between Gen Z's markers of "success" across the political divide?
Do journalists follow a universal code of ethics?
What was your most embarrassing professional moment?
The #AMA podcast is out each Saturday on the Mo News Premium podcast feed. Learn more at mo.news/premium.
Lyft CEO David Risher is leading a comeback story at the ridesharing company. Two years into the job, he’s made Lyft profitable, expanded into Europe, and grown market share against Uber.
In this conversation with Mosheh, Risher looks into the future: hybrid fleets of drivers and robotaxis, how AI will shape transportation, and whether the next generation of Americans will even need to learn how to drive. He lays out Lyft’s vision for cities of the future — and how to balance innovation with human connection at a time when technology often isolates more than it brings us together.
Risher also reflects on his experience at senior levels of Microsoft and Amazon, sharing what he’s learned about leadership, customer loyalty (obsessions), and the lessons tech has and hasn’t learned from the past couple decades.

Few institutions are as secretive, controversial, and consequential as the CIA. From covert Cold War operations to the war on terror, America’s spy agency has been both praised for keeping the country safe and condemned for its failures and abuses.
Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and historian Tim Weiner joins us to unpack that complicated history and discuss his new book, The Mission, which traces how the CIA has struggled to adapt espionage in the 21st century. Weiner is also the author of the National Book Award–winning Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA, Enemies: A History of the FBI.
In this conversation, we explore the agency’s origins, its Cold War and post-9/11 record, and the lessons of Iraq, torture, and Afghanistan. We discuss the biggest threats facing the U.S. today—including China’s massive intelligence apparatus, estimated to be 20 times the size of the CIA, and how Beijing’s ambitions differ from Russia’s. We discuss whether intelligence leaders believe the biggest threat to US national security is internal or external. And, Weiner breaks down the concerns over President Trump’s approach to the agency—and what happens when intelligence is shaped, or warped, by politics.

Few institutions impact our daily lives more than the Federal Reserve—and rarely has it been under so much scrutiny. With interest rates, inflation, and political pressure dominating headlines, the Fed’s decisions shape everything from mortgages to credit card bills.
Our guest is Austan Goolsbee, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and a currently voting member of the Fed’s powerful policy-setting committee. In a special joint conversation with Mosheh Oinounou of Mo News and Nicole Lapin of the Money Rehab podcast, Goolsbee takes us inside the “room where it happens” during high-stakes meetings, breaking down how jobs data, debt, and tariffs are influencing the economic outlook heading into the fall.
We also press him on President Trump’s recent attempts to politicize the Fed, including firing Governor Lisa Cook. We dive into how the institution maintains independence amid mounting pressure from both parties. Finally, Goolsbee weighs in on whether he is more worried about the jobs market or inflation — and gives his take on what the Fed’s role should be in a rapidly changing economy.
