The Big Fishing Episode May 13, 2026

Show notes

Hello!

This week we have a fun, off-beat episode for you about fishing. Why does Tyler put on a wetsuit and go float around in rip currents to find some rock to squat on and fish? What are ethics of this sport? What land use issues effect it? Why is the future hope of the Democratic Party all these new Gen-Z Birders? We talk about all this with our guest Jerry Audet, the managing editor of the fishing magazine Surfcaster’s Journal and the co-host of the Surfcast Podcast. His writing and photography has appeared in just about every fishing publication you can name. And he is the author of Hooked, an anthology of fresh and saltwater gamefish. Most importantly he is one of the best surf fisherman in the country.

Enjoy!

The Rage of the Downwardly Mobile College Graduate with Noam Scheiber Apr 15, 2026

Show notes

Hello! Today we have on Noam Scheiber of the New York Times to talk about his new book, Mutiny: The Rise of Revolt of the College-Educated Working Class. We talk about the rise of unions at Starbucks, Amazon, Hollywood, and in digital newsrooms and what to make of this post-Bernie flood of left politics that feels both extremely present now as evidenced by the election of Zohran and also something that can now be dissected and discussed. Really good episode and very good book that we highly recommend!

We talk about the years she put into this book, which required her to learn Yiddish and travel the world, the realities of identity, what lessons the Bund has for today, and then we talk about Molly’s fight against AI, which has been stealing her illustrations for years.

Equator, a New Magazine for the World with Jonathan Shainin Mar 13, 2026

Show notes

Hello!

Today, we have on Jonathan Shainin, one of the founders of Equator Magazine, a new venture among very smart, thoughtful writers and editors that “is our collective response to a crisis that is as much spiritual and intellectual as it is political and economic. It is a venture that aims to create a more cosmopolitan home for thought and art than the one assigned to them by provincial Western periodicals. It also seeks to restore dignity to the concept of truth, and create a public space where the values of justice, solidarity and compassion can flourish.”

We talk about starting a new magazine in this media atmosphere, the need for an international perspective on the world, who their ideal reader might be, and why they still believe in the printed word. A very stirring episode and I hope you’ll take a listen.
