Podcast creator R.J. Cutler tells Truthdig he's flooded with material to work with in making satirical fun of what goes down inside the Trump White House every week.

The television writer and producer discusses politics, history and culture in a spirited interview with Truthdig Editor in Chief Robert Scheer.

In a discussion about former Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank’s new book, “Frank: A Life in Politics from the Great Society to Same-Sex Message,” Truthdig Editor-in-Chief Robert Scheer confronts Frank over President Bill Clinton’s role in creating the Great Recession and other issues dividing progressives from the Democratic Party leadership. The interview was produced by Joshua Scheer and broadcast April 2 on KPFK.

This week on Truthdig Radio in association with KPFK: Robert Scheer connects the dots on surveillance, the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership could break the Internet, a Super Bowl commercial embarrasses minimum-wage workers and the Republican candidates for president embarrass themselves.
