NEW PODCASTS
The Nation has added two provocative new podcasts to our ever-expanding roster of news programming: American Prestige and Tech Won’t Save Us. Offering fresh perspectives on our tangible and intangible worlds, the complementary programs will challenge conventional wisdom about the figures and forces shaping power, policy, and politics around the globe and in our everyday lives. Filling a niche in the landscape of foreign policy podcasts, American Prestige cohosts Daniel Bessner and Derek Davison beginning with a revolutionary premise: What would US foreign policy look like if the interests of all the people in the world, and not only those of a tiny subset of Americans, were taken into account?

Tech Won’t Save Us host Paris Marx offers a similar challenge to dominant narratives—those of Silicon Valley—by encouraging listeners to think beyond the confines of capitalism, to consider how we can dismantle oppressive technologies and develop technological power for the public good. Subscribe to The Nation’s podcast channel wherever you get your podcasts, and check out our other regular programming and limited-run series here.
