Elke dinsdag en vrijdag nodigt Ezra Klein je uit voor een gesprek over iets dat ertoe doet. Hoe pakken we klimaatverandering aan als het politieke systeem faalt om actie te ondernemen? Heeft de logica van de markten te veel aspecten van ons leven geïnfiltreerd? Wat is de toekomst van de Republikeinse Partij? Wat leren psychedelica ons over bewustzijn? Wat begrijpt sciencefiction over onze huidige tijd die wij missen? Kan ons voedselsysteem rechtvaardig zijn voor zowel mensen als dieren?
Ezra Klein invites you into a conversation on something that matters. How do we address climate change if the political system fails to act? Has the logic of markets infiltrated too many aspects of our lives? What is the future of the Republican Party? What do psychedelics teach us about consciousness? What does sci-fi understand about our present that we miss? Can our food system be just to humans and animals alike?

State Representative James Talarico of Texas might have been our most requested guest last year. And he seemed to come out of nowhere.
Talarico started breaking through with viral videos on TikTok and Instagram. And in those videos, he didn’t sound like your typical Democrat. He’s forthrightly Christian, quoting Scripture to defend progressive positions and challenging Christian nationalism on Christian grounds. And he is now running for Senate in Texas — in a primary field that includes U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett — in what will be one of the most important Senate races this year.
So I wanted to have Talarico on the show to talk about his faith, his politics and the way those two have come together in this attentional moment. Because he’s clearly saying things that people are hungry to hear.
