  Ep. 65: The Biography of Donald Trump, Part IV: Lies Become Truth

  Aug 16, 20261h 16m

  In 1976, Donald Trump gives an interview to the New York Times which is stunning in its brazen falsehoods. Seven years later, Trump Tower opens — and, for a time, shows that Trump has become what he had earlier only pretended to be. A rollicking story of how Trump played the media, used his connections, dealt with the Mob, and set the foundation for his rise to fame in the 1980s.

  Ep. 64: Reds And Muslims In Michigan

  Aug 8, 202636 min

  Tull and Vince focus on two primary elections in the great state of Michigan as test cases for and reflections of a new Red Scare (and Green Scare) in the US. How a man who spent less than $2,000 and suspended his campaign won — and whether a formidable candidate with an impressive resume and a “funny-sounding name” can do the same in November.

  Ep. 63: Mayo For Sam, The New IRA, and Grilled Fauci

  Jul 31, 202649 min

  Mayo’s win in the All-Ireland Gaelic football final sparks a warm discussion on the joy of sports, curses, and a detour into the insanity of American amateur athletics. But news elsewhere is more grim: renewed terrorist threats in the North, and a complete inability in the US (or anywhere else) to reckon with the damage caused by the global coronavirus pandemic. In both cases, Tull and Vince provide typically brilliant insight - but, in both cases, an easy answer is unfortunately impossible.

  Ep. 62: The Biography of Donald Trump, Part III: A Scandal And A Star Are Born

  Jul 28, 202644 min

  Now clearly the favorite son, Donald Trump returns to New York City aiming to make a name for himself. But a rocky start and an infamous scandal follow. Yet through connections, corruption, and some will of his own, Donald Trump is able to both close his first major deal and begin to catch the eye of a New York media all too willing to enable him.

  Ep. 61: Niall Collins And The Aughinish Yawn

  Jul 24, 202633 min

  Tull sparks another social media controversy for an Irish politician — this time, when TD Niall Collins replies to legitimate concern about the Aughinish Alumina plant with a “yawn” emoji. After covering the story in Ep. 53 - which one listener called the “best podcast I have listened to” on Aughinish and its Russian shipments - Tull and Vince take the chance to update listeners on new developments. Private and public investigations are closing in, yet the apparent strategy from Fianna Fáil and the government is to simply take the middle road — pleasing no one, and accomplishing little.
