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.

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.

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.
