26 min - From Trump’s Attorney to Attorney General: The Rise of Todd Blanche
To be confirmed as the next attorney general, Todd Blanche must convince members of the U.S. Senate that as political as the Department of Justice has become, it would be even worse without him on top.
As his confirmation hearing begins, Glenn Thrush, a Justice Department reporter for The New York Times, recounts the unlikely story of how Mr. Blanche became President Trump’s legal enforcer.
Guest: Glenn Thrush, a Justice Department reporter for The New York Times.
Background reading:
- A single Republican vote against Mr. Blanche on the Senate Judiciary Committee could effectively sink his confirmation, giving Republican senators leverage to extract concessions from him.
- Mr. Blanche’s cooperation in Mr. Trump’s campaign to identify, investigate and punish those who had once pursued him and his supporters will be a flashpoint in his confirmation hearing.

38 min - What’s Epic About the ‘Odyssey’? Everything.
This Friday, “The Odyssey,” directed by Christopher Nolan, hits theaters. Even before the movie’s release, though, it’s proving to be a cultural event. Spirited discussions of Nolan’s cinematic interpretation of the epic poem already abound online, and they are likely to intensify after the public sees the film.
Why does a 12,000-line poem that is nearly 3,000 years old still feel resonant today? In this episode of “The Sunday Daily,” Natalie Kitroeff talks about the “Odyssey” with two writers who have produced some critically acclaimed and widely read modern interpretations of Greek classics: Emily Wilson, the first woman to translate the “Odyssey” from ancient Greek, and Madeline Miller, the author of the best-selling novels “Circe” and “Song of Achilles.”
On Today’s Episode:
Emily Wilson, a professor, classicist, author and translator of the “Odyssey”
Madeline Miller, the author of “Circe,” “Song of Achilles” and other books
Background Reading:
We’ll Help You Find Your Next Great Book. (Spoiler: It’s the ‘Odyssey.’)
