  Ep. 24 - Talking Zohran with the "Was Tun?" Podcast

  Nov 3, 20251h 4mS1

  <p>I was on the German podcast Was Tun? with Inken Behrmann and Valentin Ihßen talking about the Zohran campaign in the final stretch of the NYC mayor's race. It was such a great conversation I thought I'd post it here as well so you can all get your Russ fill while the getting is good. Check them out, especially if you sprechen sie Deutsch: https://linktr.ee/wastun?utm_source=linktree_profile_share</p><p></p><p>Enjoy!</p>

  Ep. 23 - Russia Russia Russia

  Jul 15, 202516 minS1

  <p>Susan Glasser interviews her old pal Fiona Hill, who you might remember because she's the former national security official with an English accent who testified against Trump during his first impeachment trial. The New Yorker Political Scene appears to be on a summer hiatus, so they've apparently pre-recorded this and other interviews to roll out around their favorite subjects while Glasser, Evan Osnos and Jane Mayer soak up the sun at their respective beach homes. </p>
