    Jun 28 2024

And NPR spoke with independent candidate for president Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about why he is running a race he almost certainly cannot win.

    This episode: voting correspondent Ashley Lopez, national justice correspondent Carrie Johnson, reproductive rights and abortion correspondent Elissa Nadworny, and All Things Considered host Scott Detrow.

    Biden Struggled, Trump Often Lied, CNN Didn't Fact-Check
    Jun 28 2024
    President Biden fumbled in the CNN Presidential Debate, offering often rambling answers in a hoarse and quiet voice. Donald Trump, who also rambled, painted a characteristically dark vision of the country and repeatedly lied about his and Biden's records — which went largely unchallenged by CNN's moderators.

    This episode: voting correspondent Ashley Lopez, campaign reporter Stephen Fowler, and senior national political correspondent Mara Liasson.

    The podcast is produced by Casey Morell and Kelli Wessinger. Our intern is Bria Suggs. Our editor is Eric McDaniel. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.

    Ahead of Presidential Debate, Voters Head To The Pools
    Jun 26 2024
    Many folks have tuned out the news, unenthused about the rematch between historical unpopular presidential candidates. Ahead of Thursday's debate in Georgia, when some folks could be engaging with the campaign for the first time, WABE's Sam Gringlas sought out checked-out voters at a swimming pool outside of Atlanta.

    NOTE: In an earlier version of this podcast, a recording of Deanna McKay was played instead of a recording of Kerry Webster. The audio has been updated to include the correct recording.

  • Julian Assange, Who Twice Upended Politics, Accepts Plea Deal

    Julian Assange, Who Twice Upended Politics, Accepts Plea Deal
    Jun 25 2024
    Julian Assange, who has long been imprisoned in the United Kingdom, has agreed to plead guilty to a U.S. felony and will return to his native Australia. His WikiLeaks organization's 2010 publication of military secrets helped to reshape public understanding of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    The group later released private Democratic National Committee emails that the U.S. government says were obtained via a Russian cyberattack, as part of that government's effort to tilt the 2016 election to Donald Trump.

    This episode: voting correspondent Ashley Lopez, national justice correspondent Carrie Johnson, and White House correspondent Asma Khalid.
