      <title>Democracy Works - Democracy reform in 2025 and beyond</title>
      <link>https://www.democracyworkspodcast.com</link>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[The results of the 2024 election — from Donald Trump's victory to the failure of democracy reform efforts like ranked-choice voting and citizen-led redistricting — took some in the pro-democracy movement by surprise. How could voters make decisions up and down the ballot that would weaken democracy? Scott Warren argues that it's because "democracy" has become too closely associated with the Democratic Party. He laid out the case in a Stanford Social Innovation Review article published shortly after the election and joins us on the show to talk about it.Warren is a fellow at the SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University. He is currently leading an initiative focused on exploring, researching, and convening a pro-democracy conservative agenda in the US, with a short-term focus on election trust. He founded the civics education organization Generation Citizen and led the organization from 2009-2020.In the interview, Warren discusses how Generation Citizen's funding change after Donald Trump won the 2016 election and how he and his colleagues at SNF Agora are traveling across the country to bring conservatives into the democracy reform movement. Finally, we discuss how to talk about democracy in a way that resonates across the political spectrum — the subject of a Democracy Takes piece Warren wrote with Lilia Dashevsky.

      <title>The Sage Sayers - Consuelo Amat on state repression, developing civil society in authoritarian regimes, and showing empathy for those who emerge from them</title>
      <link/>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[My guest this week is John Hopkins University professor Consuelo Amat whose research interests include state repression, armed and unarmed resistance, political violence, and developing civil society in authoritarian regimes, with a focus on Latin America.In a delightful conversation, a first-time meeting, Consuelo tells us what started her on this path and why she's remained there fascinated and uplifted ever since. We also explore what we (as business leaders and communicators) ought to keep in mind when working with those who emerge from authoritarian regimes. Because their communication challenges and perspectives to simple requests, like asserting themselves or pushing back on dissent, will feel very different (and more alarming) to most. Read up on Consuelo via her website and you can follow her on LinkedIn. Your show host, D G McCullough is a former reporter for the Guardian, the Economist, and the FT of London. She runs Hanging Rock Coaching and serves as a communications coach to leaders all over the globe. Find her on LinkedIn.  Join her upcoming communications workshops on Maven, Brag Anyway, and Listen Like a Boss.

      <title>Religion Unmuted - More Than Money: Why Taxes Are a Moral Act</title>
      <link>https://religionunmuted.libsyn.com/more-than-money-why-taxes-are-a-moral-act</link>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[Season 4 launches with the surprising intersection of religion, politics, and the morality of taxation. Sociologist Ruth Braunstein joins this episode to explain how Americans often view their tax dollars not just as financial obligations, but as extensions of their moral selves that implicate them in government actions, similar to religious giving. Drawing from research on groups ranging from the Tea Party to anti-war activists, the conversation explores how money is categorized as "sacred" or "profane" and what this means for living in a diverse society.

      <title>Moral Matters: Conversations with Sociologists on Altruism, Morality, and Social Solidarity - My Tax Dollars with Ruth Braunstein</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/amss/episodes/My-Tax-Dollars-with-Ruth-Braunstein-e3eb9i0</link>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[In this edition of Speaking of Solidarity, we interview Ruth Braunstein about her new book My Tax Dollars: The Morality of Taxpaying.In this book, Braunstein maps the contested moral landscape in which Americans experience and make sense of the tax system. Braunstein tells the stories of Americans who view taxpaying as more than a mundane chore: antigovernment tax defiers who challenge the legitimacy of the tax system, antiwar activists who resist the use of their taxes to fund war, antiabortion activists against “taxpayer funded abortions,” and a diverse group of people who promote taxpaying as a moral good. Going beyond the usual focus on tax policy, Braunstein’s innovative view of taxation through the lens of cultural sociology shows how citizens in value-diverse societies coalesce around shared visions of the sacred and fears of the profane.Ruth Braunstein is SNF Agora Institute Professor of Sociology at Johns Hopkins University, and host of When The Wolves Came: Evangelicals Resisting Extremism, a new documentary podcast spotlighting evangelical leaders who are resisting political extremism in their church and the country. A cultural sociologist interested in the role of religion and morality in American political life, Ruth’s award-winning research has been published in the American Sociological Review, the American Journal of Cultural Sociology, Contexts, the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, Political Power and Social Theory, Sociology of Religion, Theory and Society, and Qualitative Sociology, among other outlets. She is also the author of Prophets and Patriots: Faith in Democracy Across the Political Divide and co-editor of Religion and Progressive Activism: New Stories About Faith and Politics.

      <title>What Matters Most - The Politics of Christian Nationalism: A Conversation with Ruth Braunstein</title>
      <link>https://sites.libsyn.com/434343/the-politics-of-christian-nationalism-a-conversation-with-ruth-braunstein</link>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[Welcome to Episode 11 of Season 4! In this episode I speak with Dr. Ruth Braunstein, a sociologist at Johns Hopkins University’s SNF Agora Institute. A cultural sociologist interested in the role of religion and morality in American political life, Ruth's award-winning research has been published in the top peer-reviewed journals in her field, and has been covered in major news outlets including the New York Times, Washington Post, and Time Magazine. She also writes frequently for public audiences, including at The Guardian, Religion News Service, and The Conversation, and in her weekly Substack Democracy Is Hard. Ruth is also the creator of the podcast series When the Wolves Came, which we will be discussing in this episode and which I recommend highly that you go and listen to after you finish this episode.  Ruth‘s research, writing and teaching have been recognized by numerous awards and fellowships. She received the inaugural Distinguished Early Career Award from the American Sociological Association’s Religion Section, and her former department’s 2021 Faculty Mentor Award.  She is currently President of the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion (SSSR), a Faculty Fellow at the Center for Cultural Sociology at Yale University, and Chair of the Board of Directors of PRRI. I relied on PRRI research in my introduction to the CCE Christian nationalism Project. She earned her doctoral degree in sociology from New York University and her undergraduate degree from Georgetown University. She is originally from Atlanta, GA. Today’s podcast is on Christian nationalism in the USA and I found it bracing, a wakeup call.  As a scholar of early Christianity, the earliest stages of Christianity, it still shocks me as to how we got from there to here. I’m not arguing that the people who adhere to Christian nationalism are not real Christians, or challenging their devotion, but I will read a passage that Ruth cited from Matthew 7, giving it a bit more context from the chapter in Matthew: 15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns or figs from thistles? 17 In the same way, every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus you will know them by their fruits. Keep this in mind as you listen to the episode. Are Christian nationalists bearing the fruit of love of neighbour? Are they bearing the fruit of the Spirit that the Apostle Paul delineates? Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control? Who is? Ask yourself this question as, as I ask myself this question: am I bearing this fruit? For me, this was an important introduction to Christian nationalism. We could not have had a better or more nuanced guide than Ruth Braunstein.  It was my honour to speak with her. This podcast emerges from the Centre for Christian Engagement at St Mark’s College, the Catholic college at UBC, a centre that explores the Christian and Catholic intellectual tradition and seek to learn from others, other Christians, other religious traditions, and those who do not claim any particular or formal religious affiliation.  What Matters Most is produced by the Centre for Christian Engagement at St Mark’s College, the Catholic college at UBC. The CCE is a centre at St. Mark’s College that explores the Christian and Catholic intellectual tradition and seek to learn from others, other Christians, members of other religious traditions, and from those who do not claim any particular or formal religious affiliation. Our goal, then, is to talk to a lot of people, to learn from them, to listen to them, and to find out what motivates them, what gives them hope, what gives them peace, and what allows them to go out into the world to love their neighbors. A few thanks are in order. To Martin Strong, to Kevin Eng, and to Fang Fang Chandra, the team who helps me bring this podcast to you, but also makes the CCE run so much more smoothly.  I also want to thank our donors to the Centre, whose generosity enables this work to take place at all: Peter Bull, Angus Reid, and Andy Szocs. We are thankful to their commitment to the life of the academic world and of the work of the Church in the world by funding the work of the CCE.

        <![CDATA[Welcome to Episode 11 of Season 4! In this episode I speak with Dr. Ruth Braunstein, a sociologist at Johns Hopkins University’s SNF Agora Institute. A cultural sociologist interested in the role of religion and morality in American political life, Ruth's award-winning research has been published in the top peer-reviewed journals in her field, and has been covered in major news outlets including the New York Times, Washington Post, and Time Magazine. She also writes frequently for public audiences, including at The Guardian, Religion News Service, and The Conversation, and in her weekly Substack Democracy Is Hard. Ruth is also the creator of the podcast series When the Wolves Came, which we will be discussing in this episode and which I recommend highly that you go and listen to after you finish this episode.  Ruth‘s research, writing and teaching have been recognized by numerous awards and fellowships. She received the inaugural Distinguished Early Career Award from the American Sociological Association’s Religion Section, and her former department’s 2021 Faculty Mentor Award.  She is currently President of the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion (SSSR), a Faculty Fellow at the Center for Cultural Sociology at Yale University, and Chair of the Board of Directors of PRRI.

      <title>Straight White American Jesus - Paying Taxes in the DOGE ERA: Moral Duty, Religious Experience, or Place of Protest?</title>
      <link/>

In this episode of Straight White American Jesus, Brad sits down with Dr. Ruth Braunstein, professor at Johns Hopkins University and author of My Tax Dollars. Together, they explore an unexpected question: Can paying taxes be a moral act?

Far from being a dry civic obligation, Braunstein argues that taxation can serve as a collective ritual—one that reflects our values, builds solidarity, and fuels moral debate. The conversation traces the historical evolution of tax narratives in the U.S., from patriotic propaganda during World War II to the rise of anti-tax movements tied to abortion, war, and distrust in government.

They also unpack the cultural shift from taxes as a civic duty to something to be avoided or even bragged about, as seen in Donald Trump’s infamous comment on dodging taxes. Throughout the episode, Braunstein sheds light on how Americans’ attitudes toward taxation reveal deeper fault lines around democracy, governance, and belonging.

      <title>The Gilded Age and Progressive Era - 106: Recasting the Vote</title>
      <link>https://shows.acast.com/gildedageandprogressiveera/episodes/106-recasting-the-vote</link>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[Think you know the story of women’s suffrage? Think again. In this episode of The Gilded Age and Progressive Era Podcast, Boyd sits down with co-host Cathleen D. Cahill to discuss her groundbreaking book Recasting the Vote: How Women of Color Transformed the Suffrage Movement (UNC Press, 2020). Cahill’s book challenges the traditional narrative of women’s suffrage by centring the Indigenous, African American, Latina, and Asian American women who organized, mobilized, and redefined the fight for political rights.Cahill introduces us to a cast of remarkable women—Zitkála-Šá, Mabel Ping-Hua Lee, Carrie Williams Clifford, and Adelina “Nina” Otero-Warren—who pushed the fight for the vote beyond white, middle-class reformers. Their activism linked suffrage to sovereignty, citizenship, immigration, and racial justice, recasting the movement as part of a much bigger struggle for equality.Along the way, we explore why the story doesn’t end in 1920 with the Nineteenth Amendment—and why it still matters for today’s fights over voting rights.Further Reading:Leila J. Rupp, Worlds of Women: The Making of an International Women’s Movement (1997)Martha S. Jones, Vanguard: How Black Women Broke Barriers, Won the Vote, and Insisted on Equality for All (2020)Michelle Duster, Ida B. the Queen: The Extraordinary Life and Legacy of Ida B.

Cahill’s book challenges the traditional narrative of women’s suffrage by centring the Indigenous, African American, Latina, and Asian American women who organized, mobilized, and redefined the fight for political rights.Cahill introduces us to a cast of remarkable women—Zitkála-Šá, Mabel Ping-Hua Lee, Carrie Williams Clifford, and Adelina “Nina” Otero-Warren—who pushed the fight for the vote beyond white, middle-class reformers. Their activism linked suffrage to sovereignty, citizenship, immigration, and racial justice, recasting the movement as part of a much bigger struggle for equality.Along the way, we explore why the story doesn’t end in 1920 with the Nineteenth Amendment—and why it still matters for today’s fights over voting rights.Further Reading:Leila J.

      <title>Midday - 'The Trouble of Color' author Martha S. Jones explores the color line bisecting Black family histories</title>
      <link/>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[(This program first aired on March 4, 2025)

In this encore edition of Midday, we listen to a conversation Tom Hall had last spring with Dr. Martha Jones about her latest book, The Trouble of Color: An American Family Memoir.

Jones is a former lawyer, a celebrated historian, and the author of several award-winning books. Her latest book is unlike any of her others: while it is a work of history, it is also a deeply personal account of Jones’ own family, and an exploration of the shifting, difficult, and thorny parameters of race and identity.

Jones reminds us that, as W. E. B. DuBois wrote in his landmark 1903 book The Souls of Black Folk, “the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line.”

In The Trouble of Color, Jones writes, “I was learning that this boundary — one said to divide Black from White — was neither solid nor sure. It was instead jagged, sharp-edged and threatening.”

The Trouble of Color is a beautifully crafted rumination on that jagged and threatening line, and a timely peroration on race at a moment in our country’s history when diversity and equity are under attack from officials in the highest levels of our government.

(Because this program is recorded, we won't be taking any new calls or emails.)

        <![CDATA[The Trouble of Color: An American Family MemoirMartha S. Jones grew up feeling her Black identity was obvious to all who saw her. But weeks into college, a Black Studies classmate challenged Jones’s right to speak. Suspicious of the color of her skin and the texture of her hair, he confronted her with a question that inspired a lifetime of introspection: “Who do you think you are?” Now a prizewinning scholar of Black history, Jones delves into her family’s past for answers to that very question in The Trouble of Color: An American Family Memoir.In every generation since her great-great-great-grandmother survived enslavement to raise a free family, color determined her ancestors’ lives. But the color line was shifting and jagged, not fixed and straight. Some backed away from it, others skipped along it, and others still were cut deep by its sharp teeth. Journeying across centuries, from rural Kentucky and small-town North Carolina to New York City and its suburbs, Jones offers a lyrical, deeply felt meditation on the most fundamental matters of identity, belonging, and family. In telling this story, Jones confronts the limits of the historian’s craft, while finding immeasurable skill and understanding in the very thing she is searching for: Family. She immediately recognized an error in the historical record, when her grandfather David Dallas Jones—who for three decades served as president of the historically Black women’s college, Bennett College—was labeled “a white businessman”. She knew better. His father had been a free man of color, and his mother was born enslaved. In the case of an archivist who could not locate crucial family records, Jones knew even the most seasoned of professionals is no match for a motivated descendant when it comes to combing through the depths of the past. She ended up finding the information herself and it surged her forward on her journey to finding the truth within the stories her ancestors told about themselves and the tales that others crafted about them. In her excavation of race and family, Jones respectfully finds and corrects the record. Born from a preoccupation with the people she comes from, paired with a dual and complicated sense of self, THE TROUBLE OF COLOR is a story about discovery, family, and country. It tells adeeply personal story about being Black, white, and other in America—defying preserved wisdomabout slavery, racism, passing, Jim Crow, colorism, and civil rights.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ancestor-s-footprints-with-bernice-alexander-bennett--6436157/support.

      <title>The Electorette Podcast - Before the 14th: Black Activists and the Battle for Citizenship</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[In light of this week's Supreme Court hearing that could redefine birthright citizenship in the United States, we’re revisiting one of our most insightful episodes from 2019.

Historian and legal scholar Martha S. Jones joins The Electorette to discuss her groundbreaking book, Birthright Citizens: A History of Race and Rights in Antebellum America. In this conversation, Professor Jones traces the legal and political battles waged by free Black Americans in the decades before the Civil War—activists who challenged the idea that citizenship was the exclusive domain of white Americans. Their efforts laid the groundwork for the 14th Amendment and reshaped the meaning of belonging in a multiracial democracy.

This episode explores the deep historical roots of birthright citizenship, its radical origins in Black freedom struggles, and the enduring threats it faces today. Whether you’re new to the topic or returning to it with fresh urgency, this conversation offers critical context for understanding the legal, moral, and democratic stakes.



(00:00) The History of Birthright Citizenship

Professor Jones and I revisit the critical history of birthright citizenship in America, exploring the struggles of formerly enslaved Black Americans.



(06:57) Interpreting the Constitution for Citizenship

Free African Americans used military service and economic contributions to advocate for citizenship and equality, utilizing their legal literacy and the omission of race in early constitutional texts.



(16:43) Debating Citizenship and Colonization

William Yates, a white abolitionist, authored "The Rights of Colored Men" to align abolitionism with the founding ideals of the US.



(28:44) Threats to Citizenship and Forced Removal

Former slaves pursued citizenship in the US to avoid colonization, but faced fears and pressures, leading to self-deportation and parallels with modern immigration policies.



(43:41) Global Implications of Citizenship Debate

Political and humanitarian debates have global implications and contribute to ongoing crises, emphasizing the need for vigilance and awareness.

      <title>Midday - The Agora Institute's Dr. Lilliana Mason on political polarity, violence following shooting of Charlie Kirk</title>
      <link/>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[With the killing of the charismatic conservative activist and podcast host, Charlie Kirk, America has once again been rocked by what could be another act of political violence.

There is, as of Thursday morning, no suspect in custody, and no motive for the shooting is known.

At the age of 18, Charlie Kirk founded “Turning Point Action,” a conservative get-out-the-vote and fundraising organization. Kirk was close to President Donald Trump and other members of the Trump family. Last night, Trump released a video commenting on Kirk’s shooting where he called him, “a martyr for truth and freedom.” 

Dr. Lilliana Mason, a political scientist at the Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University, studies political partisanship. She joins Midday to discuss political polarity in the context of several high-profile instances of political violence in recent years.

      <description>
        <![CDATA[Political outcomes would be relatively simple to predict and understand if only people were well-informed, entirely rational, and perfectly self-interested. Alas, real human beings are messy, emotional, imperfect creatures, so a successful theory of politics has to account for these features. One phenomenon that has grown in recent years is an alignment of cultural differences with political ones, so that polarization becomes more entrenched and even violent. I talk with political scientist Lilliana Mason about how this has come to pass, and how democracy can deal with it. Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/02/17/305-lilliana-mason-on-polarization-and-political-psychology/ Support Mindscape on Patreon. Lilliana Hall Mason received her Ph.D. in political psychology from Stony Brook University. She is currently an SNF Agora Institute Associate Professor of Political Science at Johns Hopkins University.

        <![CDATA[Political outcomes would be relatively simple to predict and understand if only people were well-informed, entirely rational, and perfectly self-interested. Alas, real human beings are messy, emotional, imperfect creatures, so a successful theory of politics has to account for these features. One phenomenon that has grown in recent years is an alignment of cultural differences with political ones, so that polarization becomes more entrenched and even violent.

      <description>
        <![CDATA[In part two of Dan’s conversation with political scientist Yascha Mounk, the two discuss identity politics, its growing influence on the American left, and the danger this trend poses to pluralistic societies.They examine why identity politics is so seductive, how it reshapes government, schools, and civic institutions, and why Mounk believes it ultimately undermines both individuality and democratic cohesion. The conversation also turns inward, exploring Jewish identity: where it strengthens pluralism, where it becomes politicized, and why Jews, in particular, should be cautious about abandoning universal principles for group-based power.In this episode...- Why liberalism today feels unrecognizable- What identity politics is and why it’s so appealing- How universalism gave way to group-based politics- When inclusion turns into segregation- Jewish identity and the limits of identity-based politics- Why free speech remains essential for a pluralistic democracyFrom the episode:- Listen to Yascha’s podcast The Good Fight- Subscribe to Persuasion- Purchase Yascha’s book, The Identity TrapMore Ark Media:Want to join Ark Media?

        <![CDATA[Is Antizionism the new common denominator of the left? Political scientist Yascha Mounk, founder of Persuasion and author of The Identity Trap, joins Dan to discuss whether the rise of Zohran Mamdani is indicative of a growing connection between socialist causes and hostility towards Jews. Drawing on his personal history, Mounk explains the different iterations of Antisemitism on the left and discusses with Dan whether it is categorically different from what we’re increasingly seeing on the American right.The conversation went longer than normal, so stay tuned for part 2 in which Dan and Yascha discuss how identity politics consumed America and Jews should be wary of falling into the same trap.In this episode...- Yascha’s political upbringing- The history of Antizionism on the left - What would Mamdani compromise on?- Is the IHRA’s definition of Antisemitism dangerous to free speech? - The Western left’s silence on repression in IranThis episode was sponsored by Maimonides Fund: Sign up for the SAPIR journal at sapirjournal.org/CallMeBackFrom the episode:- Listen to Yascha’s podcast The Good Fight- Subscribe to Persuasion- Purchase Yascha’s book, The Identity TrapMore Ark Media:Want to join Ark Media?

      <title>Zooming In at The UnPopulist - Will the Trump Administration's MAGA-Driven Foreign Policy Be America's Downfall? A Conversation with Anne Applebaum</title>
      <link>https://www.theunpopulist.net/p/will-the-trump-administrations-maga</link>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[The first year of Donald J. Trump’s second term as the president of the United States has been not only tumultuous for America but also the rest of the world. Just as at home, he has disregarded existing international institutions and standing alliances to chart a very different foreign policy course. Trump has threatened long-standing European with steep tariffs and military action—and traditional adversaries such as Russia with relative warmth and friendliness. Are there any broader theories guiding Trump’s actions? What are the aims of his MAGA advisors? And what does the Trump presidency portend for America’s standing as the champion of the liberal international order? If that order permanently collapses, what will replace it and how would that affect American interests?The UnPopulist’s editor-in-chief, Shikha Dalmia, discusses with Pulitzer Prize winning author Anne Applebaum, a historian. Anne, who writes for The Atlantic, has penned the most incisive —and prescient—analysis about the emerging alliance of global authoritarians, Russian disinformation campaign, the Ukrainian war and more.We hope you enjoy.***Thanks for checking out The UnPopulist!

      <title>Stay Tuned with Preet - Trump's Radical Reign (with Anne Applebaum)</title>
      <link/>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[What do the ICE operations in Minneapolis reveal about a broader shift in the exercise of state power? This week, Pulitzer Prize–winning historian, The Atlantic staff writer, and Autocracy in America podcast host Anne Applebaum joins Preet Bharara to discuss why Minneapolis has galvanized people in a way few events have in the Trump era, and why our closest allies now say the word for this moment is “rupture.” Plus, Applebaum explains why she believes the better comparison for the second Trump administration isn’t conservatism—it’s Bolshevism. Then, Preet answers your questions about the FBI’s seizure of election ballots in Fulton County, Georgia, and the risks of refusing to pay taxes as a political protest. In the bonus for Insiders, Anne and Preet take a trip around the globe—from the war in Ukraine to Trump’s Greenland fixation to the uncertain future of Venezuela after Maduro.

Anne Applebaum and journalist, lawyer, and founder of the "Popular Information" newsletter Judd Legum joined moderator Charlie Sykes, author of the "To the Contrary" newsletter and podcast, for a timely discussion on how political power is being reshaped in the U.S. and globally—and what it means for democracy.The conversation examined how democratic institutions are increasingly undermined through gradual, legal changes that concentrate power, weaken accountability, and reward loyalty over principle. Speakers emphasized that the greatest danger lies not in any single leader, but in systems that normalize corruption, disinformation, and politicized governance.Ukraine emerged as a critical test of democratic resolve, highlighting the global stakes of the moment.The discussion concluded with a clear warning and reminder: democracy does not sustain itself—it survives only when citizens choose to defend it.CALL TO ACTION:Support Joyce Uptown Foodshelf (https://www.joyceuptownfoodshelf.org/)Support MIRAC (https://www.givemn.org/organization/M...)Check out Anne’s newsletter “Open Letters, from Anne Applebaum”: https://anneapplebaum.substack.com/Explore Judd’s newsletter “Popular Information”: https://popular.info/Visit Charlie’s newsletter and podcast “To the Contrary”: https://charliesykes.substack.com/ABOUT THE SPEAKERS:Anne Applebaum is staff writer for The Atlantic and author of the best-selling 2020 book "Twilight of Democracy: The Seductive Lure of Authoritarianism" and her latest book "Autocracy, Inc."

      <link>https://andrewxu218.podbean.com/e/steven-teles-on-achieving-abundance-in-america/</link>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[Steve Teles is a political science professor at Johns Hopkins University, and a senior fellow at the Niskanen Center. He is one of the main advocates of the abundance agenda, which champions supply-side solutions to many of the problems of modern economies, including housing unaffordability, clean energy, public infrastructure, and more.
In this episode, I got a chance to speak with him about how the abundance movement has grown in recent months, the level of bureaucratic autonomy that he wants government administrators to have, and whether or not government deregulation would make authoritarianism more efficient.

      <title>Midday - An Ohio megachurch sought to fight racism. A Baltimore political scientist followed their journey.</title>
      <link/>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[What happens when a predominately-white evangelical megachurch in the Midwest creates a program to address racial inequity? 

Dr. Hahrie Han followed the journey of Crossroads Church in Ohio, where Pastor Chuck Mingo said he felt called by God to combat racial injustice, within the church and their wider Cincinnati community.

Han's book, released in September 2024, is called Undivided: The Quest for Racial Solidarity in an American Church. She takes a deep look into a congregation's wrestling with race, political divisiveness and fraught political times. 

Han is a political scientist and the head of the SNF Agora Institute, a scholarly and public forum dedicated to advancing dialogue and civic engagement, at Johns Hopkins University.

Han joined Midday on September 30, 2024, to discuss her book, which covers a persistent divide in American religious and secular life.

      <title>Change Signal - Why You Build Belonging Before Belief: Hahrie Han</title>
      <link/>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[Here are three big insights that emerge from this Change Signal conversation with Hahrie Han:


  
Are you creating value or just convenience?;



  
Does belonging come before belief in your organization?; and



  
Are you building agency or just compliance?




Hahrie Han, political scientist at Johns Hopkins University and author of How Organizations Develop Activists and Undivided, has spent her career studying how people build power that lasts. She brings a sharp, human perspective on what drives genuine participation and why small, intentional acts often change systems more than sweeping plans.

The conversation explores why engagement depends less on ease and more on meaning, how “radical belonging” can transform even divided communities, and how leaders can use small, safe failures to build confidence and agency across teams.

You’ll also hear practical tools for turning involvement into influence — designing scaffolding that helps people learn from risk and own their results.

If you’re leading transformation, culture, or change projects in a big organization, this conversation offers fresh, grounded insight into how participation turns into durable power.

Change Signal. Cut through the blather, the BS, and the noise to find the good stuff that works in change. This is the podcast for transformational leaders seeking modern change mastery.

      <title>Midday - Dr. Hahrie Han wants to strengthen democracy. Now, she has help from a MacArthur 'genius' grant.</title>
      <link/>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[Dr. Hahrie Han is a political science professor at Johns Hopkins University and the inaugural director of the SNF Agora Institute.

        <![CDATA[“We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition,” Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada announced last week at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.It was one of the most significant foreign policy speeches in years, sending shockwaves through the international community. He was describing a dynamic that’s been building for decades — what the scholars Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman call “weaponized interdependence” — that has now reached a tipping point.I asked Farrell on the show to explain this dynamic, why this is a “rupture” moment and how other countries are responding. He is an international-affairs professor at Johns Hopkins University, is an author of the book “Underground Empire: How America Weaponized the World Economy” and writes an excellent Substack, Programmable Mutter.Note: This episode touches on the clashes over immigration enforcement in Minneapolis and the killing of Renee Good, but it was recorded on Friday, before the killing of Alex Pretti.Mentioned:“Davos 2026: Special address by Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada”Underground Empire by Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman“Programmable Mutter” by Henry Farrell“The nature and sources of liberal international order” by Daniel Deudney and G.

        <![CDATA[Economists generally see AI as a production technology, or input into production. But maybe AI is actually more impactful as unlocking a new way of organizing society. Finish this story: * The printing press unlocked the Enlightenment — along with both liberal democracy and France’s Reign of Terror* Communism is primitive socialism plus electricity* The radio was an essential prerequisite for fascism * AI will unlock ????We read “AI as Governance” by Henry Farrell in order to understand whether and how political scientists are thinking about this question. * Concepts or other books discussed:* E. Glen Weyl, coauthor of Radical Markets: Uprooting Capitalism and Democracy for a Just Society, and key figure in the Plurality Institute was brought up by Seth as an example of an economist-political science crossover figure who is thinking about using technology to radically reform markets and governance. * Cybernetics: This is a “science” that studies human-technological systems from an engineering perspective. Historically, it has been implicated in some fantastic social mistakes, such as China’s one-child policy.* Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem: The economic result that society may not have rational preferences — if true, “satisfying social preferences” may not be a possible goal to maximize * GovAI - Centre for the Governance of AI* Papers on how much people/communication is already being distorted by AI:* Previous episode mentioned in the context of AI for social control:* Simulacra and Simulation (Baudrillard): Baudrillard (to the extent that any particular view can be attributed to someone so anti-reality) believed that society lives in “Simulacra”. That is, artificially, technologically or socially constructed realities that may have some pretense of connection to ultimate reality (i.e. a simulation) but are in fact completely untethered fantasy worlds at the whim of techno-capitalist power.

      <title>Cato Event Podcast - Trade in War: Economic Cooperation across Enemy Lines</title>
      <link>https://shows.acast.com/cato-event-podcast/episodes/trade-in-war-economic-cooperation-across-enemy-lines</link>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[Trade between belligerents during wartime should not occur. After all, exchanged goods might help enemies secure the upper hand on the battlefield. Yet as history shows, states rarely choose either war or trade. In fact, they frequently engage in both at the same time.To explain why states trade with their enemies, Mariya Grinberg examines the wartime commercial policies of major powers during several conflicts in her book Trade in War. Grinberg reveals that economic cooperation can thrive even in the most hostile of times and argues that economic ties between states may be insufficient to stave off war.Join Grinberg and Henry Farrell, with Joshua Shifrinson as moderator, for a discussion on trade during wartime and what it means for statecraft. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

        <![CDATA[We discuss Prof Yuen Yuen Ang's article on the clash of the US and China as that of two gilded ages rather than clash of civilizations.  We then talk about the polls just a few days before the US presidential election and how the election is still too close to call.

      <title>Brian J Matos - S3E11: A Conversation About Misinformation, Disinformation and Propaganda with Peter Pomerantsev</title>
      <link>https://940deb8c-180f-4466-8b2c-d596216b53f9.libsyn.com/s3e11-a-conversation-about-misinformation-disinformation-and-propaganda-with-peter-pomerantsev</link>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[In an age where misinformation spreads faster than truth — and reality itself feels increasingly hard to define — how do information wars actually work? In this episode, Brian is joined by Peter Pomerantsev, one of the world's leading thinkers on propaganda, disinformation, and political warfare. Peter is a journalist, author, and Senior Fellow at the SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University where he co-directs the Arena Initiative. His work explores how modern power operates through narratives, identity, and emotional manipulation rather than facts alone. We discuss how authoritarian regimes — and increasingly, decentralized digital ecosystems — use disinformation not to persuade, but to confuse, exhaust, and fragment societies. Drawing on Peter's books Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible, This Is Not Propaganda, and How to Win an Information War, this conversation traces the evolution of propaganda from Cold War radio operations to today's algorithm-driven reality distortion. We also explore the unsettling ethical dilemma facing democracies today: Can open societies defend truth without resorting to the same manipulative tactics used against them? In this conversation, we cover: How modern disinformation targets identity and belonging — not belief Why confusion and cynicism are often the real goals of propaganda Lessons from WWII "black propaganda" and their relevance today The limits of fact-checking and media literacy What actually works to defend democratic reality at scale This is a wide-ranging discussion about power, psychology, technology, and the future of truth itself — and why the battle over information may be the defining conflict of our time. 🔔 Subscribe for more long-form conversations with leading thinkers, journalists, and experts shaping our understanding of the world.

Drawing on Peter's books Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible, This Is Not Propaganda, and How to Win an Information War, this conversation traces the evolution of propaganda from Cold War radio operations to today's algorithm-driven reality distortion. We also explore the unsettling ethical dilemma facing democracies today: Can open societies defend truth without resorting to the same manipulative tactics used against them? In this conversation, we cover: How modern disinformation targets identity and belonging — not belief Why confusion and cynicism are often the real goals of propaganda Lessons from WWII "black propaganda" and their relevance today The limits of fact-checking and media literacy What actually works to defend democratic reality at scale This is a wide-ranging discussion about power, psychology, technology, and the future of truth itself — and why the battle over information may be the defining conflict of our time. 🔔 Subscribe for more long-form conversations with leading thinkers, journalists, and experts shaping our understanding of the world.

        <![CDATA[In this episode of GovExperts Insights, host Chris Britton sits down with Peter Pomerantsev—author, documentary producer, and senior fellow at Johns Hopkins University—to examine how propaganda distorts reality during wartime and what it takes to preserve truth when information itself is weaponized.Pomerantsev discusses his work documenting alleged war crimes tied to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and why even a negotiated peace could leave profound legal and moral questions unresolved. Central to the conversation is The Reckoning Project—an initiative that blends journalism and law to preserve evidence, confront state-sponsored denialism, and ensure facts endure long after the fighting stops.“We need evidence that lasts longer than propaganda.” — Peter PomerantsevKey InsightsIdentity and propaganda are deeply linked: how regimes exploit uncertainty to impose new narratives and identities.Russian propaganda adapts to each audience: different messaging across Europe, the U.S., Africa, and Latin America—yet a consistent core claim that Russia is the victim and the West is to blame.The Reckoning Project bridges journalism and prosecutions: detailed testimonies that support public storytelling and future war-crimes cases—so evidence doesn’t disappear.Ukraine’s identity has strengthened: increased unity and civic cohesion since 2014 and 2022 despite attacks on language, culture, and sovereignty.Child deportations as a totalitarian tactic: separating children from families to break cultural continuity and reshape a nation.Disinformation now enables war crimes: false “pretexts” spread before attacks may become part of future legal accountability efforts.About Peter PomerantsevPeter Pomerantsev is a leading thinker on propaganda, narrative, and political identity. He is the award-winning author of How to Win an Information War and Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible, and his work explores how authoritarian systems manipulate truth to evade accountability.Why It MattersWars may end on paper, but accountability rarely does. This conversation explores how modern conflict blurs the line between combat, propaganda, and crime—and why courts, evidence, and legal standards may be among the last institutions capable of anchoring truth when political narratives diverge from reality.Follow GovExperts Insights on Spotify or LinkedIn and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

      <title>The Gist - Autocracy Watch with Yascha Mounk</title>
      <link>http://www.mikepesca.com</link>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[Political theorist Yascha Mounk returns to assess whether the United States is sliding toward autocracy or demonstrating institutional resilience under pressure. He argues that while the Trump administration's actions have been more extreme than expected, courts, elections, and a decentralized system have so far acted as real constraints rather than hollow rituals, a case he first laid out in The People vs. Democracy: Why Our Freedom Is in Danger and How to Save It. Mounk also warns against exaggeration that fuels anticipatory obedience, even as he concedes the next three years remain an open test of democratic durability. Plus, Britain's Epstein reckoning, where Keir Starmer loses top aides over ties to Jeffrey Epstein, while close associations in Epstein's own country (the USA) don't matter.

      <title>The Good Fight - Daniel Diermeier on Why Universities Are Their Own Worst Enemies</title>
      <link/>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[Yascha Mounk and Daniel Diermeier examine how elite institutions created the backlash that now threatens their future. Daniel Diermeier is Chancellor of Vanderbilt University, where he has served since 2020. In this week’s conversation, Yascha Mounk and Daniel Diermeier discuss why American universities are simultaneously world-leading and losing public trust, whether elite higher education creates dangerous separation between the professional class and ordinary Americans, and how the shift from regional to national universities has reshaped American society. Polarization is at an all-time high. It can feel daunting—perhaps even misguided—to engage in meaningful dialogue with those holding starkly different views. What does it mean to champion pluralism in such a moment? Persuasion’s new series on the future of pluralism, generously supported by the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations, features essays and podcast interviews that make the case for civic dialogue and highlight inspiring examples of it in practice.
