The Al Franken Podcast

De: ASF Productions
  • Resumen

  • A five-time Emmy winning SNL comedy writer/producer, joins a four-time #1 NYT bestselling author, a three-time highest-rated national progressive radio host, a two-time Grammy winning artist, and a former US Senator. So, it gets a little crowded in the booth when Al talks public policy and sometimes political comedy with notable guests. Think “The Daily” without the resources of the NYTimes.

  • Jessica Yellin on Our Anxiety Producing News Cycle
    Mar 30 2025


    A potentially catastrophic breach of security within The White House has set off alarm bells for both Republicans and Democrats in D.C. Independent journalist Jessica Yellin joins us to discuss SignalGate. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz are both under fire after The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg was added to a group chat that contained top secret war plans (or was it just attack plans?). Will anyone get fired for this?


    Plus, we talk about the Trump administration's lawlessness when it comes to deportations. What happens when a President blatantly defies a court order?


    And Jessica shares why she left mainstream news and the importance of independent, online journalism, like her platform - News Not Noise.

  • Norm Ornstein on Another Terrible Week in D.C.
    Mar 23 2025

    It's been another chaotic week in Donald Trump's America, and we're thrilled to have our good friend, Norm Ornstein, back on the podcast. We talk about Trump's Executive Order TO dismantle the Department of Education and what that could mean to communities across the country. We also break down the divisions in the Democratic Party and why Leader Chuck Schumer didn't help the situation by caving to Donald Trump. Plus, what is the future of Ukraine and America's standing in the world as we abandon our allies?

  • BEST OF: Trae Crowder on Comedy and The Liberal Redneck
    Mar 16 2025

    In this Best Of episode, we revisit our conversation with Trae Crowder, the viral comedian from Tennessee aka The Liberal Redneck. We talk about Trae's upbringing in a red state, why rednecks are Trumpies, and what happens to a community when the jobs leave. Listen to Trae’s take on Trump's appeal to voting rednecks, even though they might have seen him as a New York elite (from his TV show, The Apprentice) before he entered politics.

Well Done and Informative.

Al and Dahlia shared a warm chemistry, which, added to the gentle method used to introduce each topic, was soothing to the listener. The recounting of the number of overturned precedents was impressive. They knew their facts, but it was no recitation. This was truly a worthwhile way to spend my time and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
