  • Episode 22: Jeff Stein, Kim Wehle & Michael Khouw

  • Episode 21: Jake Sherman, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff & Alan Blotcky

    You’ve seen the pictures and watched the video clips of the insurrection at the Capitol - but what was it actually like to be in the building at the time, fearing for your life? Anthony is joined by political journalist and author Jake Sherman for his literal inside take on the unlawful mayhem brought to Congress itself - and the consequences to come.

    Stephanie Winston Wolkoff was the former First Lady’s trusted advisor and closest friend, and had a front-row seat at President Trump’s inner court. Her memoir ‘Melania and Me’ exposed dysfunction and division at the very highest levels of the White House - and makes the case why FLOTUS was very much “part of the problem.”

    Many people have insulted Trump by saying he is ‘crazy’ - though it does beg the question how practicing mental health professionals actually do view his behaviour. Dr Alan Blotcky is a renowned clinical psychologist and contributing writer at Salon, and bravely shares a candid assessment.

    In this episode, Anthony is joined by Molly Jong-Fast, editor-at-large of The Daily Beast, and co-host of The New Abnormal podcast to get her take on this exciting new chapter for America.

  • Episode 19: Tara Setmayer, Rick Wilson & Tom Rogers

    Less than half a Scaramucci to go! 

    It’s been quite an eventful week as President Trump became the first Commander-in-Chief in history to be impeached twice. Tara Setmayer, CNN political commentator and former GOP communications director gives Anthony her view on recent events.

    Senator Mitch McConnell says five days isn’t enough time for the Senate to convict Trump, but he was able to get Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination confirmed in four. This is his chance to trash Trumpism - so why isn't he? Anthony talks to Rick Wilson, co-founder of The Lincoln Project and author of the bestseller ‘Everything Trump Touches Dies,’ to get his take on this. 

    After the events of the past weeks, how does America heal? Anthony is joined by  prolific media industry leader, Tom Rogers to discuss what steps have to be taken to put the United States back in a good place.

  • Episode 18: Angelo Carusone, Errin Haines & Jeff Timmer

    What the hell’s going on? Anthony reflects on this week’s madness with Angelo Carusone, president of Media Matters for America, a campaigning non-profit described by Bill O’Reilly as “the most dangerous organisation in America.”

    The votes of many historically marginalised people in Georgia were instrumental in President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. Anthony talks to Errin Haines, editor-at-large and founder of ‘The 19th’, a non-profit newsroom covering gender, politics and policy, whose mission is to “finish the work of the 19th Amendment.”

    Finally, Anthony is joined by senior advisor at the Lincoln Project and co-founder of ‘Republicans and Independents for Biden’, Jeff Timmer, to discuss the past few months and take a look at what the future holds.
