So what happens when people give up on democracy and start building bombs? Zayd knows. He was raised in the fallout. Takeaways: The Weather Underground moved f

Communes, Cults & Alien Contact: Unraveling California's Countercultural Legends
Everyone dreams of dropping out and building a better world. Almost nobody plans for the compost schedule, the group meetings, or the guy who thinks he's the Messiah. Phil and Ted head deep into California's utopian fringe — one stop in a Klamath Mountains commune, the other out in the high desert, scanning the sky for something that isn't from here. Guest Jonathan Berman, professor emeritus of film at Cal State San Marcos, made Commune (2006), the first real reexamination of 1960s communal lif

How can you hate me when you don't know me? Daryl Davis walks into rooms most people would run from. A Black musician, actor, and author, Davis has spent decades doing something that sounds almost too simple to work: sitting down with Klan leaders and just talking. The result?

Will U.S. democracy survive the Trump era?
Is America's system of checks and balances already broken, or just badly bent? Phil and Ted sit down with Professor Michael Genovese — presidential scholar, author of 50 books on the office, and, improbably, a stand-up comedian — to take stock of a presidency that's tested every boundary it could find, and cashed in along the way. Genovese walks through Trump's "runaway presidency": the monetizing of the Oval Office, the abuse of presidential power for personal enrichment — his own and his in
