The Mark Joseph Show

Is rock and roll really dead? And can human creativity survive the rise of artificial intelligence? In this new episode, Mark sits down with Liza Lentini, the new Editor-in-Chief of SPIN Magazine, for a wide-ranging conversation about the past, present, and future of music. Lentini shares her journey from award-winning playwright to leading one of America's most influential music publications, explains why she believes rock music is thriving despite predictions of its demise, and reveals why SPIN refuses to feature AI-generated music, writing, or imagery.

Mark and Liza also take a nostalgic trip through the Gen X music scene, recalling the days of discovering new bands through radio, record stores, and legendary rock clubs. From The Clash, New Order, and The Cure to Deftones, Sublime, and the enduring appeal of '80s music, they explore what made that era special and what today's artists can learn from it. Along the way, they discuss the disappearance of musical tastemakers, the challenges facing independent artists, the impact of technology on human connection, and Liza's hopes for a new renaissance in the arts.

What happened to the generation that grew up without smartphones or helicopter parents? On this episode of The Mark Joseph Show, Mark sits down with author and commentator Lisa De Pasquale to discuss her book, The Gen X Handbook for Middle Age, and what makes Generation X so different. From latchkey kids and 1980s nostalgia to changing family values, pop culture, politics, and the challenges of growing older, Mark and Lisa take a funny, candid look at the generation that learned to fend for itself.

Lisa also shares her remarkable personal journey of losing 170 pounds, finding love later in life, rediscovering her faith, and reinventing her career after years in Washington, D.C. Along the way, she and Mark explore how childhood experiences shape us as adults, why Gen X remains skeptical of authority, and what younger generations may have lost in today's digital world.

Dr. Benjamin Aaron was the cardiothoracic surgeon called to treat President Ronald Reagan after the 1981 assassination attempt. In this remarkable firsthand conversation in the Making REAGAN series, Dr. Aaron takes us inside the emergency room and operating room, recounting Reagan’s severe blood loss, the race to find the source of the bleeding, the removal of the bullet, and the extraordinary fact that it came to rest less than an inch from Reagan’s heart and aorta.

Dr. Aaron also shares what Reagan was like in those critical hours—from his famous “I hope you’re all Republicans” joke in the operating room to the composure and faith he displayed after nearly losing his life. Aaron reflects on the crucial decision that he believes saved Reagan’s life, why the president’s survival was medically remarkable, and whether there was something more than chance behind what happened that day.

In this first episode in the new Making Seinfeld series, John O’Hurley joins Mark Joseph for an exciting conversation about the extraordinary career that took him from Broadway and daytime television to one of the most memorable recurring roles on Seinfeld. O’Hurley tells the remarkable story of how he nearly turned down J. Peterman, how his manager refused to take no for an answer, and how he created Peterman’s unforgettable voice and larger-than-life personality. He also shares behind-the-scenes stories from the Seinfeld set, including material that never made it to the original broadcast.

O’Hurley also looks back on Dancing with the Stars, Family Feud, his years on Broadway, his music and books, the National Dog Show, and the unusual philosophy that has guided his career. He talks about overcoming stage fright, listening to his imagination, buying into the real J. Peterman Company, and his one-man show A Man with Standards, including the night he sang Sinatra to Frank Sinatra himself.

Former Congressman and Reagan White House speechwriter Dana Rohrabacher joins Mark Joseph for a remarkable firsthand look at Ronald Reagan—from camping out in Reagan’s backyard as a young supporter to eventually joining him in the White House. Rohrabacher shares personal stories about the man behind the presidency, Reagan’s relationship with Nancy, his faith and character, life inside the White House speechwriting shop, and the lessons he learned from years at Reagan’s side.

Rohrabacher also tells the extraordinary inside story of Reagan’s historic “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall” speech—including how the speechwriters fought to get the Berlin Wall language directly into Reagan’s hands despite resistance from senior officials. It’s a candid conversation about Reagan, the Cold War, presidential leadership, and the moments behind the scenes that helped shape history.

Historian and bestselling author Paul Kengor joins the Making REAGAN series to discuss his book The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism, the book that inspired the creation of the REAGAN Movie. Kengor recounts years of research into Reagan’s handwritten letters, speeches, childhood, religious beliefs and relationships with figures including Bill Clark and Pope John Paul II, revealing what he believes many traditional accounts of Reagan have overlooked.

Kengor discusses more about the idea of the “Divine Plan” that Reagan and Clark called the “DP,” Reagan’s lifelong optimism, his years as a Rock River lifeguard, and the qualities that shaped his presidency. Kengor also talks about difficult and controversial moments in Reagan’s record, and what Reagan’s approach to leadership and political disagreement might mean in today’s deeply divided America.

Former U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese sits down with Mark for a deeply personal conversation in the Making REAGAN series about Ronald Reagan, the man Meese knew and served for decades. From their first meeting after Reagan was elected governor of California to the White House and the final years of Reagan’s life, Meese offers a rare firsthand portrait of the man behind the public image—his character, humor, management style, relationship with Nancy Reagan, political instincts, and the qualities that even his opponents often underestimated.

Meese also takes audiences inside some of the defining moments of the Reagan era, including Iran-Contra, the confrontation with the Soviet Union, “Tear Down This Wall,” and Reagan’s evolution on abortion and other major issues. He reflects on Reagan’s approach to leadership, the early signs of Alzheimer’s he personally witnessed, their final meeting, and what he believes history should remember about his longtime friend and president.
