  • Barton Gellman: "Dark Mirror: Edward Snowden and the American Surveillance State"

    Barton Gellman: "Dark Mirror: Edward Snowden and the American Surveillance State"
    Aug 26 2025
    From the archives, Michael’s conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Barton Gellman, on his book “Dark Mirror: Edward Snowden and the American Surveillance State.” In 2013, Edward Snowden’s massive leak of classified files sparked a global reckoning over government surveillance. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Barton Gellman was one of the reporters Snowden trusted with those secrets. In Dark Mirror, Gellman goes beyond the headlines to reveal the inside story—tracking the reach of the surveillance state, dissecting Snowden’s legacy, and exposing the personal risks he faced while reporting. Michael speaks with Gellman about the gripping true-life tale behind the book, national security journalism, and what it all means for our privacy today. Original air date 05-21-20. The book was published on 19 May 2020

  • Michael Bamberger: "The Man Who Heard Voices"

    Michael Bamberger: "The Man Who Heard Voices"
    Aug 20 2025
    Michael's conversation with longtime sportswriter and bestselling author Michael Bamberger, author of "The Man Who Heard Voices: Or, How M. Night Shyamalan Risked His Career on a Fairy Tale." In his relatively young career, M. Night Shyamalan achieved phenomenal commercial and critical success. His films 'The Sixth Sense,' 'Unbreakable,' 'Signs,' and 'The Village' grossed over $1.5 billion (at the time of this 2006 interview) and reinvented the thriller genre. Because Shyamalan has worked outside of the Hollywood system, however, his filmmaking habits and personality have remained largely unknown. But reporter Michael Bamberger obtained unprecedented access to Shyamalan during the tumultuous production of his film Lady in the Water, and in The Man Who Heard Voices exposes the struggles and triumphs of this modern-day Hitchcock at work. Listen to Bamberger talk the book here. Original air date 3 August 2006. The book was published in July 2006.

    Gerry Spence: "Bloodthirsty Bitches and Pious Pimps of Power"
    Aug 18 2025
    Upon hearing of Gerry Spence's passing away at 96 years old this week, we remembered this conversation from deep in the archives, with the trial attorney and bestselling author on his book "Bloodthirsty Bitches and Pious Pimps of Power: The Rise and Risks of the New Conservative Hate Culture." Gerry Spence takes dead aim at the media demagogues who wield their power with virulent effect: The likes of Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, Bill O'Reilly and others - who occupy the bully pulpit of the "new American hate culture" - TV and radio programs shaping opinions of millions of Americans. Original air date 12 October 2006. The book was published on 3 October 2006.
