Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The show explores themes related to culture, politics, and media, focusing on understanding the personalities and motivations behind prominent public figures. For instance, recent episodes include interviews with Anthony Weiner discussing topics such as personal redemption and the ramifications of public cancellation.
Michael Moynihan sits down with the people shaping culture, media, and public life to dive into the personal, the political, and the petty. Every Thursday, expect confessions, historical nitpicks, verbal blood feuds, and the deepest of deep cuts.
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Joby Warrick joins Michael Moynihan to tell the story of Carlos the Jackal, the Venezuelan Marxist who became the world’s most notorious terrorist. They discuss his rise through the Palestinian militant movement, his ties to the Soviet bloc, and the governments that allowed him to operate across Europe and the Middle East for decades. Warrick also recounts meeting an unrepentant Carlos in a French prison and explains how his brand of international terrorism anticipated Al-Qaeda, ISIS, and the decentralized political violence of today.
