The Muckrake Podcast is the political podcast that promises to dig deeper. Political analysts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman tackle the news of the day but go beyond the stale and tired narratives to provide historical context and alternative perspectives, all to bring a little order to chaotic times.
Discussions of politics, culture, social justice, science, technology, and all the news that’s fit to criticize. Led by Ida Tarbell and C. Gull https://themuckraking.wordpress.com/
Sifting through the muck to find the good; discussing life, liberty and hope.
Modern Muckraker is an investigative journalism podcast about pop culture questions no one has dared to ask. With the help of actual, highly-qualified experts, host Mike Schubert will apply excruciatingly thorough research methods and intense scrutiny to get to the bottom of these seemingly unanswerable questions. Season 1 releases new episodes on Mondays from Oct. 11 to Nov. 1 2021. Learn more at https://www.modernmuck.com
Based on the long tradition of Muckraking journalism exposing corruption Two guys bring you the news every week and tell you why you're not alone screaming into the void. We're all going to die in the apocalypse, but at least the Muckrakers saw it coming, talked about it and made fun of it. So while your scramble to keep the fire lit and fend off the wolves that are closing in, come listen and laugh and just maybe survive just a little bit longer.
