Episode notes
Ron Steslow kicks off 2026 with a “Smash Brothers” weekly featuring Lucy Caldwell, Hagar Chemali, Susan Del Percio, and Mike Madrid to look at the forces they think will define the year ahead—geopolitical disruption, institutional failure, civil dysfunction—and the transformational period we’re living through.
Then they share some exciting news about The Weekly in 2026.
Finally, in Politicology+, they dive into the values that will matter the most as we head into 2026.
