Would you pay good money to go to a retreat where they read one book out loud? Because it's happening! I have 4 unfinished books on my nightstand, so maybe this is what I need? We discuss the phenomenon on #FakeTheNation with @JeremyPinsley and @maryhoulie.bsky.social.
A new study finds that the most popular degrees - social work, teaching - have the least return on investment. We vent on this issue on #FakeTheNation with the wonderful @JeremyPinsley & @maryhoulie.bsky.social - subscribe to the show now more than ever!
Pete Hegseth is morally questionable in so so many ways, but also, why does he have so much wet hair??? And what do you imagine he says when the cameras are off? I feel like our ideas were solid on this week's #FakeTheNation with @JeremyPinsley and @maryhoulie.bsky.social. Tune in wherever you pod.

Well, ya know, not great, had news of family Saturday but not since so, it’s all together unpleasant
Couldn’t agree more
Meta & YouTube just lost a couple of court battles - is it like the takedown of Big Tobacco? The claims against McDonalds for making people unhealthy? Where is our digital Ozempic to help us all!? We dive into this & more with @calebmeringue.bsky.social & Jody Avirgan on #FakeTheNation!
I guest hosted @waitwaitnpr & thankfully, I got a space week! Artemis II launched & a bunch of other things happened, but let’s focus on the good stuff! It was a banger of a show w/ Peter Grosz, Joyelle Nicole Johnson & Rachel Coster making an all-time excellent panel. Tune in at @npr.org near you!
A new study shows that difficult people literally AGE YOU. Yes yes, this is unsurprising but now there's data! Helen Hong and @importantmeagan.bsky.social break down the risks of hanging out with the difficult motherf%$*ers who walk among us on this week's #FakeTheNation. Tune in!
We talk big picture politics on this episode of #FakeTheNation with @importantmeagan.bsky.social and Helen Hong. Tune in for our advice to democrats AND some totally unsurprising new findings about dealing with difficult people.
Whether a hot dog is a sandwich sounds like an issue an FTN panel should address!
Thank you! I’m happy to report I did indulge in the birthday vibes and had a great time ❤️❤️
Would you get rid of your GPS for the sake of "Frictionmaxxing"? Yes, it's another stupidly named trend, but this one might actually help recover our short attention spans! We get into this & so much else on #FakeTheNation w/ @katiecompa.com & @thenation.com writer @ddguttenplan.bsky.social
Ooooh the hard truths come out! Im also trying to friction maxx because of that episode and so far, im trying to leave my phone in another room to force me to do more without it ( it’s hard 😃)
So this car was essentially way ahead of its time with its naming!
Congress doesn't want to have a job anymore - that's the only real explanation for this war. They're quiet quitting, & the rest of us are stuck yelling into the void. #FakeTheNation this week w/ @Milly_Tamarez, @TheStacksPod, & me, your favorite Iranian-American podcast host.
The Oscars are Sunday and we can't get enough of the Timothy Chalamet/Jessie Buckley discourse because together they have pissed off a universe of cat-, opera- and ballet-lovers. We get into it with @Milly_Tamarez and @thestackspod on #FakeTheNation this week.
We get into the Timothee Chalamet opera/ballet controversy because... well, why not? In a #FakeTheNation episode where we have to talk about war, it was fun for me, @Milly_Tamarez, and @thestackspod to take a little Chlamydia/ballet/cat-lovers/JessieBuckley detour. Tune in!
😂😂 for some reason he’s become my nonstop mention on the pod
