Series Finale: Bob Costa and Mark McKinnon

vendredi 13 novembre 2020 • Durée 39:35

On this final episode of Politics of Truth we'll wrap up the 2020 election with two of our favorite returning guests, Washington Post National Political Reporter Bob Costa and Mark McKinnon, a veteran political advisor, former musician, and co-host of Showtime's The Circus.

We try to make some sense of the electoral warfare being waged on the results of the presidential election, and who it's playing to. We also consider the historic turnout numbers across the country combined with razor thin margins in so many races, and unpack the tribal allegiances behind what look like Democrat/Republican splits.

Then we look ahead to the 2 upcoming special elections for Senate seats in Georgia, which will determine the balance of power for the next two years and make or break important parts of any Biden agenda.

Finally, Bob updates us on his daughter Hallie's battle with cancer and the inspiring will she's been showing during her recent treatment.

Thank you all for joining us on this journey. We've had a great time bringing you these conversations and this show has been a bright spot for many of us amidst the craziest year any we'll ever go through.

Episode 25: Doug Heye + Jonathan Karl + Susan King

jeudi 22 octobre 2020 • Durée 40:01

This week CNN's Doug Heye takes over hosting duties for Bob on Politics of Truth.

Doug's first guest is ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl. Jonathan has covered four presidents and has become a recognizable face in the last few years for his lively barbs with various Trump White House press secretaries. Jonathan shares this inside perspective in his recent best-selling book "Front Row at the Trump Show," and he and Doug discuss how White House reporters have to do their jobs differently when confronted by an administration who views them as the enemy.

Later Doug speaks with Susan King, Dean of the UNC School of Media and Journalism, about the next generation of reporters that she works with every day inside and outside the classroom. Susan describes the challenges and opportunities presented by new media technologies, and why her students leave her feeling optimistic about the future of our news industry.

Thanks for listening, and please remember to vote on November 3rd.

Episode 15: Campaign Music with Margaret Talev of Axios

mercredi 15 juillet 2020 • Durée 43:51

Bob's guest this week is Margaret Talev, White House and Politics Editor at Axios and a CNN political analyst. Margaret is also a huge music fan who's paid close attention to the soundtracks of campaigns for as long as she's been on the trail.

Margaret and Bob discuss which campaigns have harnessed the power of music effectively, and why it's worked. There's also the inevitable awkwardness (and occasional lawsuit) when a campaign co-opts the music of a political opponent, as is happening now with the Trump campaign on multiple fronts.

Finally they examine Joe Biden's VP shortlist and which factors the campaign should consider most as they make their final choice.

Featured Music:

Chris Martin, "Til' Kingdom Come" (From Beau Biden's funeral)

They Might Be Giants, "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too"

The Rolling Stones, "You Can't Always Get What You Want"

Tom Petty, "I Won't Back Down"

Curtis Mayfield, "Move On Up"

Episode 14: Renee Fleming on Neuroscience and Music

mercredi 1 juillet 2020 • Durée 32:55

On this episode Bob speaks with legendary soprano Renée Fleming about her research with the Kennedy Center and NIH exploring the intersection between neuroscience and music, called the Sound Health Initiative.

Renée also explains what she's up to musically during this time, including a new musical collaboration and conversation with the Kennedy Center, bassist Victor Wooten, and neuroscientist Dr. Daniel Levitin.

Finally, Renée talks about being on Joe Biden's Artists Council and how musicians can strike the right balance when taking a stand for what they believe in.

Episode 13: Dr. Peter A. Wish on Connecting with Voters

mardi 23 juin 2020 • Durée 39:59

This week Bob speaks with Dr. Peter A. Wish, a psychologist who has advised candidates for Congress, Senate, and the Presidency on how to connect with voters.

Dr. Wish's latest book, "The Candidate's 7 Deadly Sins", details the biggest mistakes that candidates make when trying to connect emotionally. He explains the forces that dissuade candidates from being their most authentic selves, and why so few choose to project their most likable qualities to the voters whose support they need to win.

Then we turn to the November elections and how Biden, Trump, and down-ticket candidates can offer the optimistic messages voters overwhelmingly want during a time of such suffering and uncertainty.

Episode 12: Chuck Morris

mercredi 27 mai 2020 • Durée 40:10

States have begun relaxing restrictions on a range of outdoor activities as the weather heats up and the Covid case numbers slowly come down in some areas. Regardless of the success of these "Phase 1" reopening plans live concerts, where I earn my living and experience some of my greatest joys, will be among the last things to come back as we knew them (though it's exciting to see some bands experimenting with drive-in concerts and other outside the box ideas)

So this week I speak with my good friend Chuck Morris, legendary concert promoter and longtime head of AEG Rocky Mountains, which has dominated the Colorado live music scene even as LiveNation and other behemoths have swallowed most of the industry whole. I intended to speak with Chuck about what we should expect for live music in the near future, but that'll have to wait for another episode because Chuck's amazing history in the music business was simply too hard to ignore. He's been right there at the start with some of the most successful bands of the last 50 years and those stories are worth sharing with you all.

In 1971, before The Eagles had even recorded a record, Chuck brought them to play some of their first ever gigs in Aspen and Boulder, starting a decades-long friendship spanning hundreds of shows together.

On U2's first trip to Colorado in 1980 Chuck took them to see Red Rocks, convinced that soon they'd be big enough to play that legendary venue. Just three years later, Chuck booked them at Red Rocks for a show that became U2's live album "Under A Blood Red Sky".

Chuck recently moved on from running AEG day-to-day to fulfil another dream; creating a Music Business Program at Colorado State University. It's simply the next remarkable chapter in the story of one of my favorite characters in all of music.

Episode 11: Mickey Hart and Robert Costa

mercredi 20 mai 2020 • Durée 47:08

This week we've got a very special episode for you. Bob is joined once again by Bob Costa, National Political Reporter for The Washington Post, the host of Washington Week on PBS, and a long-time fan of our other guest, Mickey Hart.

Mickey is the legendary drummer and percussionist of the Grateful Dead, as well as countless other musical endeavors over more than 50 years in the business. It's great to have Bob and Mickey here together on account of their mutual admiration and some of the common experiences of reporters and musicians.

The discussion touches on music as a unifying force and its scientifically proven ability to enhance the healing of our minds and bodies. Also the force of rhythm, not only in music but in life; even more important to be mindful of as all of our daily rhythms are out of sync during this period of confinement. Yet we know this moment will propel new forms of creativity in music and beyond; we're already witnessing a real-time soundtrack of this global crisis streaming directly from artists at home across the globe. And we're all grateful for that.

Episode 10: Federal Disaster Expert Brent Colburn

lundi 11 mai 2020 • Durée 41:53

The state-level responses to the coronavirus have shown incredible displays of leadership from some Governors and local officials as they respond to their local circumstances. But when it so clearly feels like the federal government is failing to step up amidst an unprecedented crisis, how can we parse what's being done for political reasons, and what's being done in good faith?

This week Brent Colburn joins us to share his considerable experience with federal disaster response. Brent is a top-tier communications expert who's served in senior roles at FEMA, the Department of Homeland Security, HUD, and the Pentagon; many of the agencies coordinating to combat the pandemic today.

For more than a decade Brent worked on federal responses to crises including Hurricane Katrina and Superstorm Sandy. He has seen how our elected leaders' use of the bully pulpit to inform Americans and call us to action can determine our ability to come together in times of need.

Brent talks about the importance of trust among actors and agencies at all levels of society when coordinating a complex response, especially when a crisis hits everywhere at once.

It's easy to get confused and discouraged by news about the pandemic, but we hope you'll feel calmer and better informed after this discussion.

Episode 9: Langhorne Slim and Chris Frates (CNN and Storyline)

vendredi 24 avril 2020 • Durée 01:09:47

As the coronavirus crisis continues to keep most Americans isolated at home, it's struggle to find balance between following the massive, global scale of a pandemic and the deeply personal challenges facing every individual and family. Each new day brings important public health and policy developments that require us all to act together and really come to terms with crucial questions about how we live as a society. At the same time, endless confinement at home with ourselves and our families during a moment of extreme stress can shine a spotlight on some of our own personal vulnerabilities that require attention and care. Balancing the deeply personal and the massively global nature of this moment hasn't been easy for anyone.

This week Bob spoke with two friends, one from the world of politics and the other from his life as a musician, about the practical and the personal dimensions of this crisis.

First is Chris Frates, veteran CNN reporter and host of Politics Inside Out on SiriusXM, who in 2016 founded Storyline, which tells the stories of people and organizations whose perspectives fall through the cracks of large media companies. They discuss how and whether to cover the White House daily Covid briefings as news, how Joe Biden can run an effective campaign in a time without rallies and door knockers to get out the vote, who he might select as his Vice Presidential running mate, and Chris' own challenges of running a small business during an economic crisis.

Next Bob speaks to his old friend, singer-songwriter Langhorne Slim, who just played a show with Bob and The Avett Brothers in the Dominican Republic in early March, days before our world changed. Slim lives in Nashville and he returned from the DR to a community that was about to be ravaged by a tornado, then by Covid. He's an unusually thoughtful and candid guy, and he digs into the personal difficulties that for so many are compounded by this crisis.

We also pay tribute to the legendary Gene Shay who passed away on Sunday from Covid-19 in his native Philadelphia. Gene was a towering figure in folk music for more than a half century, but he was also a personal friend of both Bob's and Slim's from the early days of their careers. RIP Gene Shay.
