THE C-WORD
With each episode, Lena Dunham and Alissa Bennett take you on a historical deep-dive into the life of a woman society dismissed by calling her mad, sad, or just plain bad. Join them for a rich, hilarious, and heartbreaking look into exactly what it means when we call a woman “crazy.”
FIASCO
From the co-creators of Slow Burn comes a new podcast documentary about politics, power, and uncertainty. Host Leon Neyfakh transports listeners into the day-to-day reality of our country’s most pivotal historical events, bringing to life the forgotten twists and turns of the past while shedding light on the present. Season Two of Fiasco tells the story of Iran-Contra. A secret war, a secret deal, and a scandal that threatened to destroy Ronald Reagan’s presidency--until it didn’t. Season One recounts what happened during the contested 2000 election between Al Gore and George W. Bush, and the extraordinary legal battle that followed in Florida.
HEAR TO SLAY
Hear to Slay is the black feminist podcast of your dreams—compelling conversations curated in only the way black women can. Roxane Gay and Tressie McMillan Cottom offer uncommonly incisive reads of the politics that shape the world we live in and the popular culture we consume. If you want to laugh as much as you want to be challenged, if you’re seriously smart but refuse to take yourself too seriously at all, come a little closer because we are here and hear, to slay.
SONIC BOOM: HOW SEATTLE LOST ITS TEAM
For more than four decades, the Seattle SuperSonics were among the NBA’s most iconic franchises. But in 2008, they packed their bags for Oklahoma. ‘Sonic Boom’ tells a story of basketball and politics, wealth and power—revealing new truths about the NBA’s greatest heist.

TABLOID: THE MAKING OF IVANKA TRUMP
Tabloid stories are not just guilty pleasures; they are revelatory ones, electrified by the tripwires of culture: race, class, gender, and politics. This season, a full-life inquiry into the making of Ivanka Trump, from child of very public 1980s divorce to teenage party girl and then her trophy-collecting father’s very favorite trophy. Hosted by Vanessa Grigoriadis. By New York Magazine, in partnership with Transmitter Media.
THE TREVOR NOAH PODCAST
Trevor Noah and David Kibuuka explore unfamiliar angles, embrace differing viewpoints, and celebrate the contradictions that make living in this modern world bewildering. And exciting.
UNDER THE SKIN WITH RUSSELL BRAND
'Under The Skin' asks: what's beneath the surface - of people we admire, of the ideas that define our time, of the history we are told. Speaking with guests from the world of academia, popular culture and the arts, they'll help us to see the ulterior truth behind our constructed reality. And have a laugh.
