Radio Atlantic

The Atlantic has long been known as an ideas-driven magazine. Now we’re bringing that same ethos to audio. Like the magazine, the show will “road test” the big ideas that both drive the news and shape our culture. Through conversations—and sometimes sharp debates—with the most insightful thinkers and writers on topics of the day, Radio Atlantic will complicate overly simplistic views. It will cut through the noise with clarifying, personal narratives. It will, hopefully, help listeners make up their own mind about certain ideas. The national conversation right now can be chaotic, reckless, and stuck. Radio Atlantic aims to bring some order to our thinking—and encourage listeners to be purposeful about how they unstick their mind. Read More

Fox Across America w/ Jimmy Failla

Jimmy Failla - former head writer and on-air contributor for "Kennedy" on the Fox Business Network - says Fox Across America is best described as "a celebration of our unique American privilege, and will function as an audio safe space where people of all political persuasions can disagree and still get along!" Today's political climate is sorely in need of talent with the unifying ability to allow both sides to debate the issues straight up. Be sure to join Jimmy and his special guests: Emily Compagno, Brian Brenberg, Katie Pavlich, Bill Hemmer, Harris Faulkner, Tomi Lahren, Dave Landau and many more. Read More
