  • NPR CEO Katherine Maher on GOP Attacks, Editorial Criticisms & Digital Evolution

    NPR CEO Katherine Maher on GOP Attacks, Editorial Criticisms & Digital Evolution
    Jun 9 2025
    For the past five decades, every Republican president except Gerald Ford has tried to cut funding for public media. But it has never dealt with a moment like this. The Trump administration is attacking public media from every possible angle. His executive order demanded the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and all executive agencies halt all funding for NPR and PBS; the FCC is investigating NPR and PBS’s corporate underwriting; and this week, the House is expected to take up a rescissions package that would claw back all federal funding for NPR and PBS. Katherine Maher, the CEO of NPR, is fighting back. On May 27th, NPR and three Colorado member stations filed a suit challenging the president’s executive order. (PBS followed suit a few days later.) Suing the president is, obviously, an uncomfortable position for a media organization which has to cover him, But according to Maher, NPR is doing its patriotic duty to defend the First Amendment. Kara and Maher discuss the potential effects of that defunding would have on PBS, its member stations, and the communities that it serves; the criticisms of NPR and Maher herself has received, from conservatives, on one hand, and some journalists, on the other; and her approach to innovation within NPR.

  • “Mountainhead” Writer/Director Jesse Armstrong on Tech Bros, Murdoch and AI

    “Mountainhead” Writer/Director Jesse Armstrong on Tech Bros, Murdoch and AI
    Jun 5 2025
    From media moguls to tech billionaires, Oscar-nominated and Emmy award-winning writer, producer and director Jesse Armstrong knows how to tap into the psyche of the rich and powerful. In the “Succession” creator’s new HBO movie, “Mountainhead,” a tech-bro poker weekend turns into a life-or-death battle over who will control the future — in both business and the real world. From their isolated lair in Utah, four millionaire/billionaire friends (played by Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman, Cory Michael Smith, and Ramy Youssef) watch as deepfakes created on one of their platforms lead to massacres, assassinations, and government takeovers around the world. This sparks the friends’ imperialistic fantasies and some unfriendly inter-group competition. Kara talks to writer-director Jesse Armstrong about the real-world inspirations for these characters, how tech founders think about their own role in society, and whether the tech oligarchy has replaced legacy media giants like Rupert Murdoch.

  • The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg on the Long-Term Consequences of Trump 2.0

    The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg on the Long-Term Consequences of Trump 2.0
    Jun 2 2025
    Jeffrey Goldberg has been a thorn in President Donald Trump’s side since the real-estate developer–turned reality-show host first ran for office in 2016. Back then — ten months before he took over as editor-in-chief of The Atlantic — Goldberg wrote a piece headlined “A Brief Exercise Meant to Illuminate the Prejudices of Donald Trump.” The magazine has continued its unsparing criticism of Trump ever since, and Goldberg’s recent Signalgate story was just the latest in a series of blockbuster scoops that have nominally embarrassed the president. On Friday, Goldberg sat down with Kara for an on-stage interview at the WBUR Festival in Boston. They discussed Trump’s corruption, the unserious people staffing his administration (as well as with the very serious Russell Vought, a Project 2025 architect who heads the OMB), the Democratic Party’s travails, and the state of the news media.

Kara is good at drilling down in her interviews — she doesn't waste anyone's Time, Today's show was insightful.
At a time when media has so thoroughly exploited the
scripted-reality-show-business-model, it's refreshing to not be herded into a narrowly defined demographic of validation seekers on pre-programmed subjects.
... Plus the Added Bonus of a few juicy tidbits from spreading Covid to fearing jail time- neither surprising.

This host has no respect for her guests. She should not be hosting. Very hostile and plain rude.
