  • Deep Reads: The nurse in the NYC subway
    Apr 26 2025

    Lisa Singh has spent the past six months working overnight on the subway platforms of New York, where homelessness, mental illness, drug addiction and crime had been unfolding as overlapping crises. Since Lisa had taken the job, a woman died after being lit on fire on an F train at Coney Island, a man was pushed into the path of an oncoming train in Manhattan, and other riders were shoved, punched and stabbed in unprovoked attacks.

    Before this work, Lisa had spent years as a nurse in a psychiatric emergency room, so she knew how difficult it could be to treat schizophrenic or bipolar patients who couldn’t always advocate for themselves. Now, she has the power to order involuntary removals of people with mental illness and hospitalize them for up to 72 hours, and she can use the orders at her discretion to remove mentally ill people who cannot meet their basic needs — even if they aren’t acting dangerously toward others.

    This story follows Lisa through several shifts in the New York City subway. The piece was reported, written and read by Ruby Cramer. Audio production and original music by Bishop Sand.

  • Hegseth in turmoil, Trump’s sinking polls
    Apr 25 2025

    Senior politics reporter Aaron Blake talks with The Washington Post’s chief correspondent covering national politics, Dan Balz, and national security reporter Abigail Hauslohner about new reporting this week about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

    Hegseth’s continued use of Signal, an unclassified messaging app, to share highly sensitive information has roiled the agency he oversees. They also unpack new polling that shows warning signs for Trump: public support for his legally dubious immigration policies have turned negative.

    Today’s show was produced by Laura Benshoff with help from Rennie Svirnovskiy. It was edited by Lucy Perkins and mixed by Sean Carter.

  • David Hogg wants "ineffective" Democrats out of Congress
    Apr 24 2025

    David Hogg began his journey as a political activist after surviving the Parkland school shooting in 2018. Today, he’s a leader in the Democratic National Committee and co-founder of a group called Leaders We Deserve, which focuses on electing young, progressive candidates. The group’s recent announcement that it would spend $20 million to challenge Democratic incumbents in safe seats has stoked controversy within the party – even prompting DNC Chair Ken Martin to propose a rule change that would force Hogg to choose between his two roles.

    Today, Colby Itkowitz speaks with Hogg about why Democrats' popularity is cratering and how he thinks primarying established Democrats will strengthen the party.

    This show was produced by Laura Benshoff and Sam Bair, who also mixed the episode. It was edited by Reena Flores and Maggie Penman. And special thanks for the video production to Daniel Mich, David Bruns, Justin Scuiletti, Peter Stevenson and Billy Tucker. Watch Hogg’s interview with us on YouTube here.

Great Insight

I enjoy hearing in-depth reporting and hearing the story beyond the story reported in the paper.

Being a news-junkie, listening while preparing dinner is a real highlight to my day.

The Sibilance are near torture. Please de-es your vocals.

I miss the Washington Post daily digest. It was discontinued because apparently it was decided that podcasts had made it irrelevant. Podcasts are no substitute in any way shape or form. Its like comparing apples and libraries.

But when the digest was discontinued I was forced to compromise with the post digest.

I like the hosts and they do a good job.

I wish they weren’t posted the day after.

The main issue I have is that the sibilance are near torture. They are so painful especially when wearing headphones which I assume is how most people listen. De-essing is a thing. Please do it. The guests are particularly bad for this, I assume because they are not professionals speaking into professional mics with pop filters at an appropriate distance.

Simply the best news program available!

Martine Powers brings intelligence and a joyous attitude to the daily podcast. She asks interviewees the questions that I haven’t thought of yet and pursues the responses with energy and purpose. Go Martine!!!

I miss the digest

Every morning I knew I could catch up on what was going on in the country and the world AND get world class comments and opinions. Now… I get a short podcast on one subject. They are, in all honesty, well done. I just miss the news summary.

Sad substitute for digest

Pretty lame substitute for what what once the full Washington Post digest.

Lacks breadth and ads are fairly annoying.

my library is full of these but they are transitory in value and context is unclear
