Manufactured Consent Joins the 'Resistance'

samedi 20 juin 2026 • Durée 05:20

We have been slightly bemused that people suddenly care about “60 Minutes.” We were sure its audience wasn’t alive enough anymore to muster so much lucid enthusiasm. Its creator, Don Hewitt, died as quantitative easing was giving corporate socialism new life.

The Trump-attacks-media narrative has become one of tiresome navel-gazing. The problem doesn’t seem to be the repression itself, which has always been power’s prerogative, but that the repression has metastasized from polite to vulgar.

Talk About Bupkes! Hungary After Orbán w/Pál Dániel Rényi

Saison 2 · Épisode 3

mercredi 27 mai 2026 • Durée 52:52

“Talk About Bupkes!” is also available on YouTube and most anywhere else your ears go for podcasts.

Viktor Orbán is out. Péter Magyar is in. In the doldrums of liberal world ordering, rarely has an election been so fraught, psychologically draining, and full of nervous anticipation.

As Europe breathes a sigh of relief, lots of Orbánism still fills the air—in Hungary and beyond. There are institutions to ring the corruption and cronyism out of, society-level trauma and grief to confront, and the exclusionary illiberalism of Christian Nationalism to purge from the center of the European metropole.

Magyar isn’t Orbán, but what is he? Despite the cautious optimism, we know from history that tearing something down is the easy part. Building something better in its place is the real work of democracy that only begins when the election ends.

In this episode, we talk to Pál Dániel Rényi about what it was like to live—as a citizen, a Jew, and a journalist-author—through 16 years of Orbán’s autocratic legalism.

Music by The Bupkes’ own Chief Goy Liaison Officer, Wiliam Succumbs. Let us know what you think of it!

A Very Bupkes Collab: Talk About Bupkes! Teams Up with Megan's Megacan

Saison 2 · Épisode 2

jeudi 12 février 2026 • Durée 01:03:55

Talk About Bupkes! is also available on YouTube and most anywhere else your ears go for podcasts.

To paraphrase a Chinese restaurant federation, we’re not sure why Megan’s Megacan wanted to associate itself with The Bupkes, but we are glad that it did. If Europe can make “deportation” cool again, then “collaboration” is fair game.

So we are thrilled to release this special episode of Talk About Bupkes! that is actually an episode of Megan’s Megacan—a podcast about Germany, which is way more fun than ours because it involves more drinking, a cozier living room, and nicer hosts.

Together, we dove into the Teutonic Imaginary to rubberneck the car crash of German memory politics. Funny how your conception of being “good” can repeat everything that made you “bad,” right?

Most recently, this real-life tragedy has taken the form of a scandal in Berlin that involves Christian Democrats with “no expertise in combating antisemitism” handing out public funds to combat antisemitism to friends who also lack expertise in combating antisemitism.

If you’re looking for reason in Germany’s Staatsräson, keep on searching.

Be sure to subscribe to Megan’s Megacan and give them some gelt!

Saison 2 · Épisode 1

jeudi 5 février 2026 • Durée 31:04

London-based artist Arjan Guerrero is the research director of Media Forensis, which seeks to understand how our reality is mediated by agents—both human and non-human.

Join us for a wild conversation that takes us to the edge of something, where we find absolutely—yes, you guessed it:

bupkes.

And there’s more!

Don’t miss this week’s Bupkes Broken Clock of the Week. Listen to find out who the winner is—and don’t forget to subscribe, share, like, and tell all your friends (and enemies) about The Bupkes.

We’re excited to have William Noah Glucroft (or Gluhcroft? We can never remember and don’t care enough to double-check) host Talk About Bupkes! William brings The Bupkes some much-needed journalistic integrity and, best of all, he’s not nearly important enough to have anything to do with Jeffrey Epstein. (Plus, we kinda owe him one.)

In the "garden" of Brussels: Talk about bupkes! w/Shada Islam

Saison 1 · Épisode 10

lundi 22 décembre 2025 • Durée 01:05:25

“Talk about bupkes!” is also available on YouTube and most anywhere else your ears go for podcasts.

Shada Islam is as Brussels as it gets, even if some parts of Brussels might not see it that way. She’s watched the EU grow up, and the ugly duckling has not exactly become the beautiful swan that many once hoped. Still, Shada is long on Europe even if it keeps falling short.

To find out why, listen to the full episode!

For a political capital known for its think tanks, Shada says these days Brussels is doing a lot less thinking and a lot more tanking. It also needs no help from transatlantic frenemies to undermine the one source of geopolitical power it had going for it: the principles and values Europe says it’s all about.

That makes it worth asking: What even is “Europe”? And what does it look like on the other side of this era of fascism creep?

The EU represents 27 countries with distinct histories and national narratives, so The Bupkes wants to know:

What does Shada mean when she says Brussels So White?

And there’s more!

Don’t miss this episode’s Bupkes of the Week and Bupkes Broken Clock of the Week. Listen to find out who the winners are—and don’t forget to subscribe, share, like, and tell all your friends and enemies about The Bupkes.

This week introduces a new host for Talk about bupkes! We’re excited to have William Glucroft (or Gluhcroft? We can never remember and don’t care enough to double-check) join the team to run the podcast interviews. William brings The Bupkes some much-needed journalistic integrity and, best of all, he’s not nearly important enough to have anything to do with Jeffrey Epstein. (Plus, we kinda owe him one.)

Whose Yiddish is it anyway? “Talk about bupkes!” w/Saul Noam Zaritt

Saison 1 · Épisode 9

lundi 1 décembre 2025 • Durée 58:46

“Talk about bupkes!” is also available on YouTube and most anywhere else you get your podcasts.

Watch out for the Yiddish professor with a manifesto. Saul Noam Zaritt takes us back to a time when Jewish was German — that is, when Yiddish was taytsh. But taytsh is much more than that; it’s a way of understanding a language and the culture it carries as anything but fixed, stable, and unified.

Oy! A real kopdreyenish for political power and national sovereignty.

In some ways, Yiddish is all the cliches you think it is. In others, it’s a language between languages, extending in all directions; in pursuit of empire, getting crushed by it, only to be reimagined in other times and places.

Want more? Check out Saul’s database of Yiddish popular fiction. And if you like this episode, show your support by sharing and subscribing to The Bupkes.

Music by The Bupkes’ own Chief Goy Liaison Officer, Wiliam Succumbs. Let us know what you think of it!

Talking about not talking about politics: “Talk about bupkes!” with Sarah Stein Lubrano

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

mardi 14 octobre 2025 • Durée 01:04:40

Also available on YouTube and most anywhere else you get your podcasts.

When The Bupkes came across Subschtick, we knew we had to do an interview together. Lucky us, the Oxford DPhil behind it just put out a book that we wanted to know more about. Even luckier us, she turned up in Brussels, which meant we got the rare treat of doing an episode IRL.

In Don’t Talk About Politics, Sarah Stein Lubrano puts the political together with the sociological together with the psychological to try to figure out why lofty liberal ideals like debate, reason, and persuasion don’t seem to be working anymore — at least in places that really love their liberalism (or claim to), like the United States and the United Kingdom.

And that’s happening all the while economic and technological developments are pushing people into ever deeper isolation. That’s been taking a nasty toll on how we relate to each other as citizens in a shared society.

What could go wrong?

If that sounds grim, and also familiar, it is! Fortunately, Sarah is the talmudic type: If you don’t like what you’re seeing, try looking at it a little differently. She has a few suggestions for how people might act politically in the world just a little bit more effectively.

But who are we to tell you how to act? Take it or leave it, but first of all have a listen to it.

Many thanks to Full Circle for helping make this interview possible.

The Jews who fought with Nazis: “Talk about bupkes!” with Oula Silvennoinen

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

vendredi 26 septembre 2025 • Durée 01:10:26

Also available on YouTube and most anywhere else you get your podcasts.

For a historian, the Second World War and Germany’s genocide of European peoples are the gift — also in the German sense — that keeps on giving. There seems to be no end to stories one can tell.

Some of those stories are more bizarre than others. Like how Finland’s Jews ended up fighting, on occasion side-by-side, with Germans against the Soviet Union. Not in secret, but openly. In some ways, even proudly.

Oula Silvennoinen, a leading Finnish researcher in Holocaust studies and fascism, explains that history as well as the moral and political cognitive dissonance it fomented — for Finns, Germans, and Jews.

This small corner of Holocaust history has implications for our understanding of it, the role antisemitism plays in European memory politics, and our current era of resurgent nationalism and right-wing populism, which has produced its own share of unlikely bedfellows.

If you like this conversation, you may also be interested in The Bupkes’ other recent Finland-adjacent coverage:

A voice from Gaza: “Talk about bupkes!” with Shahd Alnaami

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

jeudi 4 septembre 2025 • Durée 01:10:01

Also available on YouTube and most anywhere else you get your podcasts.

In her young life, state-sanctioned violence is all Shahd Alnaami has ever known. It’s a violence that has only metastasized since 7 October, as she and more than two million of her fellow residents of Gaza have endured Israel’s relentless war of revenge, siege, and collective punishment.

In that time, Shahd’s friends and family have been killed, her beloved libraries and university have been shattered, and the bare minimum needed to sustain life has remained dangerously elusive.

Out of grief and trauma, however, grow not anger and disillusionment but hope and persistence. Shahd shared with us a glimpse of what that means.

She read us one of her essays, reprinted here with her permission:

for Dr. Refaat Alareer Sept. 3, 1979 – Dec. 6, 2023 So many of us still hold our phones, read your poems — not losing hope, but we’re tired of sleeping in fear, tired of being displaced, living in tents, haunted by horrors that linger in our minds. A missile pierced the silence, burning all the tents — including you. I have not forgotten. Nights become nightmares, children cry from the cold, their laughter, once bright, now a distant echo. We yearn to return, free from fear. When will these bloody nights end? When will this tragedy stop? When will our normal lives return, and our distant dreams come true? We keep asking, “Will this pass?” And remember how you used to say, “It shall pass… I keep hoping it shall pass…” Still, we wait for the day peace will dawn, and a new chapter open its bleary eyes.
