De met een Peabody Award bekroonde podcast On the Media is jouw gids om te onderzoeken hoe de mediasalami wordt gemaakt. Presentatrice Brooke Gladstone onderzoekt bedreigingen voor de vrije meningsuiting en transparantie van de overheid, werpt een sceptische blik op de mediaverslaggeving van de grote verhalen van de week en ontrafelt verborgen politieke verhalen in alles wat we lezen, kijken en horen.
The Peabody Award-winning On the Media podcast is your guide to examining how the media sausage is made. Hosts Brooke Gladstone and Micah Loewinger examine threats to free speech and government transparency, cast a skeptical eye on media coverage of the week’s big stories and unravel hidden political narratives in everything we read, watch and hear.
This week, we revisit a conversation with Andy Kroll, a reporter covering justice and the rule of law at ProPublica, about the profile he wrote of Russell Vought, the director of a little-known, but powerful office inside the White House. Donald Trump calls him “Darth Vader,” and Vought is behind thousands of federal layoffs. Hear why Kroll calls him Trump’s “shadow president,” and about Vought’s goal to put federal workers “in trauma.”
