The Bill Press Pod

Amid reports that Trump is losing his mind, and has lost the confidence of his Cabinet, he wants us all to know that he's a "very stable genius." Guest host Sabrina Siddiqui walked us through the wacky weekend of Trump with guests Andrew Restuccia from Politico, Pema Levy from Mother Jones and Igor Bobic from HuffPost. Plus, could we be looking at President Oprah?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's our final podcast of 2017 and this one is a doozy. In the first half, we give you the round table we taped with Clare Foran (The Atlantic) and Alex Seitz-Wald (NBC News) on what it was like to cover Bernie Sanders in the 2016 election (a segment previously only available to our Patreon subscribers). To close out the hour, it's our January 2017 sit-down with Senator Sanders - taped just days before Donald Trump's inauguration. It's kinda eerie how many of the doom-and-gloom predictions Bernie made about Trump actually came true.

Peter Ogburn may currently be at home prepping for Alabama's likely loss in the Sugar Bowl, but he made sure to tape a year-end special on sports and politics before he skipped town. Our favorite sports reporters - Lindsay Gibbs (ThinkProgress), Tyler Tynes (SB Nation) and Travis Waldron (HuffPost) - joined Peter to discuss the anthem protests, Colin Kaepernick, and white America's fundamental misunderstanding of social injustice.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Before we left for our holiday break, executive producer Peter Ogburn sat down with Jocelyn Frye (Center for American Progress) and Lucia Graves (The Guardian) to discuss the emergence of the #MeToo movement in 2017. They cover everything from Donald Trump's sexual misconduct allegations to the everyday occurrences of harassment in the workplace. A heavy topic, but an important one to break down at the end of what has been a truly insane year.
