    EP 140: Canada Has Spoken: Mark Carney Elected, Trump’s Role, And The U.S.-Canada Rift Grows
    May 5 2025
    Mark Carney has pulled off a remarkable political comeback to become the next Prime Minister of Canada, keeping his Liberal Party in power after trailing significantly just months ago. The win comes as Canada faces growing tension with the U.S., as President Trump has ignited a trade war, and repeatedly spoken about making Canada America’s “51st state.” In this special post-election edition, we’re joined by Amanda Alvaro and Rachael Segal, co-hosts of the Canadian podcast Beyond a Ballot, to unpack how Carney pulled it off, how Trump’s attacks helped Liberals and hurt Conservatives, and what this all means for U.S.-Canada relations moving forward. From voter backlash to economic anxieties and national identity, we break down the forces reshaping Canadian politics at a critical moment.

  • EP 139: “A Fog of Delusion and Denial”: How Democrats Hid Biden’s Decline

    EP 139: “A Fog of Delusion and Denial”: How Democrats Hid Biden’s Decline
    May 1 2025
    In this episode, Mosh sits down with Chris Whipple, author of the new book Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History for a behind-the-scenes look at the tight-lipped four years of the Biden Administration. Whipple interviewed several former White House staffers–including Biden’s former Chief of Staff, Ron Klain–about Biden’s decline before and during his presidency, and what he calls a “fog of delusion and denial” in the President’s inner circle leading into the 2024 campaign. He takes us inside Camp David for the prep before his disastrous June 27 debate, and the chaos in the Democratic party during the three weeks after the debate until Biden’s decision to drop out. It’s also a story of personalities in Washington: the complicated relationship between Biden and Barack Obama, why Kamala Harris’ loyalty may have contributed to her failed campaign, and why President Trump’s Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, might have a better handle on him than anyone who held the role in his first term. 🐝 This podcast was recorded from the Mo News office at Industrious at Midtown on 50th St. — Mosheh Oinounou (@mosheh) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.

    EP 134: How Laundry Detergent Transformed American Life
    Apr 3 2025
    Today, laundry takes just a few buttons and a spin cycle—but behind that convenience lies a remarkable story of innovation and perseverance. In this episode, Procter & Gamble’s historian and corporate storyteller Shane Meeker takes us on a journey through the evolution of laundry—from the gritty days of 19th-century soapmaking to the revolutionary invention of Tide, the detergent that took 14 years to create. From the company’s origins in the 1800s making soap and candles, we uncover how science, storytelling, and even wartime research reshaped household routines. Plus, the unexpected role P&G played in inventing the TV soap opera, and how today’s laundry labs continue to evolve with consumer habits.

    EP 133: “Rules Apply to Everybody”: Top House Democrat Talks Signal Chat, Student Deportations & Democratic Frustration"
    Apr 1 2025
    How do we hold power accountable—no matter which party’s in charge? Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT), the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, joins Mo News to break down the controversy surrounding the leaked Signal app chat of Trump officials planning military strikes, and the broader issue of how both parties handle classified information. Himes doesn’t mince words, slamming his own party for a lack of accountability after the deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan, and drawing a hard line on why every administration must be held to the same standard—regardless of politics. He also addresses the Trump administration’s policy of detaining and deporting international students—warning it could become a dark chapter in U.S. history reminiscent of the McCarthy era. Himes breaks down who should be deported, and who shouldn’t, making the case that lawful protest and unpopular opinions should not be grounds for deportation. Finally, he offers candid insight into the state of the Democratic Party and why he believes the base is justified in feeling upset. 🐝 This podcast was recorded from the Mo News office at Industrious at Midtown on 50th St. — Mosheh Oinounou (@mosheh) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.

    Mar 30 2025
    Mo News visited the White House recently to get insight into the Trump agenda 60 days into the administration, including their messaging and approach to the media. The previous special included conversations with RFK Jr and a top White House policy official. This episode will include two additional conversations with two members of the White House communications team: First, Harrison Fields is the Special Assistant to the President and Principal Deputy Press Secretary. We talk about how he got into politics, SignalGate, and the Trump Administration’s new car tariffs. Fields also worked for the first Trump Administration, and talks about how Trump 2.0 is different from Trump 1.0. Second, Alex Pfeiffer is the White House Deputy Communications Director. We talk about the Trump Administration's approach to the mainstream media, whether he thinks Republican support from young men will extend past President Trump, and Pfeiffer’s own “media diet.” Mosheh Oinounou (@mosheh) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.
