Introducing Hitler’s Olympics Part 2: Pangloss, Polonius, Prufrock from Revisionist History.

Follow the show: Revisionist History

Charles Sherrill was everything a gentleman of his generation was supposed to be: rich, handsome, charming, Ivy-Leagued. He was impossibly well connected and extravagantly mustachioed. He was also the person who, as much as anything, decided whether American athletes would participate in the 1936 Olympics. Faced with one of the great moral dilemmas of the day, America needed the wisdom of Solomon. Instead, it got the wisdom of Sherrill.

Heath Druzin, host of the “Extremely American” podcast, is sharing how this movement is changing our democracy — both in Boise and around the country.

Seth and Lauren Rogen are on the pod this week to talk with Jonathan all about their incredible organization Hilarity for Charity that’s on a mission to care for families impacted by Alzheimer's disease. Lauren tells the story of how her personal connection to Alzheimer’s joined forces with the pair’s careers in comedy to make a big impact.

He’s known for his recent work in Hulu’s Emmy Award-winning series Pam & Tommy, the Academy Award-nominated film The Fablemans, and he currently stars in and produces an Apple TV+ Untitled comedy series. Beyond the camera, Rogen became a New York Times best-selling author for his first book, Yearbook. He also is the co-founder of Houseplant, a Canadian cannabis company that creates products like ashtrays and rolling trays that are beautiful works of art.

Lauren has served as the Alzheimer’s patient advocate on the board of California’s Institute of Regenerative Medicine, sits on the California Alzheimer’s Task Force, and the Steering Committee of the Milken Institute’s Alliance to Improve Dementia Care.

In 2012, Lauren and Seth co-founded Hilarity for Charity, a national non-profit organization on a mission to care for families impacted by Alzheimer's disease, activate the next generation of Alzheimer's advocates, and be a leader in brain health education.

Introducing A Brutally Honest Debate Recap from Pod Save America.

Follow the show: Pod Save America

Joe Biden turns in a disastrous debate performance, missing an opportunity to take advantage of Donald Trump's (many) lies and unhinged moments, and sowing real doubt about his strength as a candidate over the long run. Jon, Lovett, Tommy, and Dan discuss what went wrong and what might happen now.

The U.S. Supreme Court accidentally released a draft opinion of Idaho’s emergency abortion ban case Wednesday ahead of an official ruling, according to bombshell reporting by Bloomberg News. The unofficial draft appears to show the high court is poised to rule in favor of allowing abortions in the case of medical emergencies in our state. While we’re still waiting for the official ruling, host Lindsay Van Allen and executive producer Frankie Barnhill are breaking down what this draft opinion could mean for our community.
