The Permit That Broke America: Inside the Bureaucratic Veto Nobody Voted For

Episode 78

Wednesday, September 9, 2026 • Duration 30:22

A single federal environmental review can bury a project for a decade — not because anyone decided to kill it, but because nobody has to decide anything at all. This week we dig into NEPA, the 1970 law that was supposed to protect the environment and instead became the Swiss Army knife of obstruction, wielded by everyone from fossil fuel interests to NIMBYs to federal agencies protecting their own turf. The law hasn't changed much. The exploitation of it has become an art form. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Spectrum Hoarders: How Washington Decides Who Owns the Air

Episode 77

Wednesday, September 2, 2026 • Duration 29:57

The electromagnetic spectrum is a finite public resource worth hundreds of billions of dollars — and most Americans have no idea the federal government is sitting on vast stretches of it, locked away by agencies that haven't meaningfully used their allocations in decades. We trace how spectrum auctions became one of Washington's most lucrative and least-understood power games, where defense contractors, telecom giants, and a surprisingly resistant Pentagon wage a quiet war over invisible territory. Last episode we followed the money through flood maps; this time, the stakes are just as high and the real estate doesn't even exist on paper. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
