Title: For Colombia, After Peace Is When the Trouble Begins

Author: Steven Cohen

Narrator: Derek Shetterly

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-06-16

Publisher: New Republic

Genres: Newspapers & Magazines, News & Culture

Publisher's Summary:

The Colombian governments self-imposed deadline for a final peace agreement with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) rebel group came and went last week - along with the prospect of a celebratory photo-op for the history books with U.S. President Barack Obama, who was visiting Havana, the site of the talks, at the time, and has lent consistent support to a peace process that has gone on for three years. But this week, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos saved face by making an announcement almost as momentous: the start of formal negotiations with the National Liberation Army of Colombia (ELN), Colombias second-largest and second-oldest leftist insurgency.

Title: Tay Exposes the Fairy Tales We Tell Ourselves about Racists

Author: Elspeth Reeve

Narrator: Derek Shetterly

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-30-16

Publisher: New Republic

Genres: Newspapers & Magazines, News & Culture

Publisher's Summary:

I happened to be reading 4chan when Microsoft released Tay, a bot that could learn to talk like humans through interactions on social media. Tay lived for just 16 hours, until Microsoft became aware of a coordinated effort by some users to abuse Tays commenting skills to make her a Nazi. The /pol/ boards on 4chan and 8chan - /pol/ stands for politically incorrect - are where that coordination took place.

Title: The Republican Party after Donald Trump

Author: Brian Beutler

Narrator: Derek Shetterly

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-30-16

Publisher: New Republic

Genres: Newspapers & Magazines, News & Culture

Publisher's Summary:

One way or another, the Republican Party is about to rupture - the only question is from which side. If Donald Trump wins the GOP presidential primary, as hes heavily favored to do, he will drive some unknown, but large, number of regulars from the party. If Republican officials manage to wrest the nomination from him for nearing but failing to reach the threshold required to win outright, he will bolt, and take some unknown, but large, number of supporters with him - either into a third party, or into a protest movement that haunts the GOP actual nominee and creates an air of illegitimacy around him.

Title: Donald Trumps Foreign Policy Revolution

Author: Jeet Heer

Narrator: Derek Shetterly

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-30-16

Publisher: New Republic

Genres: Newspapers & Magazines, News & Culture

Publisher's Summary:

Trump cant answer specific questions about foreign policy with any degree of informed knowledge or consistency. But this shouldnt blind us to the fact that he has a bold and consistent global vision. He may be weak on the details, but he is strikingly audacious in championing a shadow tradition that stands in opposition to the bi-partisan internationalism that has dominated American foreign policy since the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt.

Title: Why Didn't Marco Rubio Knock out John Kasich?

Author: Laura Reston

Narrator: Derek Shetterly

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-23-16

Publisher: New Republic

Genres: Newspapers & Magazines, News & Culture

Publisher's Summary:

When Marco Rubio exited the presidential race on Tuesday after being flattened in Florida by Donald Trump, the political world was puzzled: How had John Kasich, a politician with little personal magnetism and a record as Ohio governor that would repel most hardline conservatives, become the last establishment contender standing against Trump and Ted Cruz?

Rubio himself is largely to blame. He ignored the Ohio governor for months, and even after Kasich finished second in New Hampshire with his prince of light act, Rubio failed to attack him - choosing instead to throw millions of dollars into ineffectively hitting Cruz and Trump. Of all the many strategic blunders that Rubios campaign committed, this may have been the single most inexplicable.

Title: Bernie Sanders Is Not a One-Issue Candidate

Author: Steven Cohen

Narrator: Derek Shetterly

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-16-16

Publisher: New Republic

Genres: Newspapers & Magazines, News & Culture

Publisher's Summary:

Bernie Sanders only has one issue. The pundits have been telling us so all along, and the Vermont senator even admitted it himself during the last Democratic debate. [Former] Secretary [of State Hillary] Clinton says Im a one-issue person - well, I guess so, said Sanders, after months of dancing around the accusation. My one issue is trying to rebuild a disappearing middle class. Thats my one issue.

Title: Why Donald Trump Is Hillary Clinton's Dream Opponent

Author: Elspeth Reeve

Narrator: Derek Shetterly

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-16-16

Publisher: New Republic

Genres: Newspapers & Magazines, News & Culture

Publisher's Summary:

Its surprising how explicitly the 2016 election has been about genitals. Republican presidential candidates have often been fixated on manhood, but just like with other themes of conservative politics of the last few decades, subtlety has gone out the window. I used to joke that Donald Trump would eventually expose himself on stage, but then he bragged about his penis size in a Fox News debate and it wasnt a joke anymore. Too obvious. Yet if theres not an enormous upset in the next month, this will get only more extreme in the general election. Trump vs. Clinton will be the boys vs. girls election: penises vs. vaginas.

Title: Bernie Sanders Is Actually the Anti-Trump

Author: Jeet Heer

Narrator: Derek Shetterly

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-16-16

Publisher: New Republic

Genres: Newspapers & Magazines, News & Culture

Publisher's Summary:

The great cliché of the election of 2016 is comparing Bernie Sanders to Donald Trump as disruptive figures changing the fundamental orientation of their parties. Theres some truth to this parallel, but the more fundamental difference between the two candidates may matter more. Trumps great leverage in the GOP race is that hes willing to blow up the party if they dont give them what he wants. Hes repeatedly talked about running a third-party campaign if hes not given the proper respect, which has allowed him to bully his rivals with impunity. Sanders, by contrast, is not willing to hold the Democratic Party hostage - even though, as a longtime independent, hes only joined it recently. He has a distinct vision of politics, but hes not willing tear the party in half to get a chance to enact it.

Title: #NeverTrump Conservatives Are Fighting for Him to Reshape the Supreme Court

Author: Brian Beutler

Narrator: Derek Shetterly

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-16-16

Publisher: New Republic

Genres: Newspapers & Magazines, News & Culture

Publisher's Summary:

The organizing principle of the #NeverTrump movement isnt simply that Republicans should deny Donald Trump their presidential nomination, as Marco Rubio has it, but that they should also deny him the presidency should he prevail in the primary. Some conservatives implicit willingness to essentially throw the race for the White House should Trump become their partys nominee has understandably raised questions about how thoroughgoing and enduring their opposition to him will prove to be. The other Republican candidates are still promising to support Trump in the general election, and presumably some stalwart-seeming #NeverTrumpers will fall into line as well.
