The Argument

We live in divisive times and every hot-button issue today is tirelessly debated over in the endless void that is the internet. But if you’d like to step out of your echo chamber of shared opinions, The Argument is for you. A new podcast from The New York Times, the podcast answers the question, “How could they possibly think that?” Columnists David Leonhardt, Michelle Goldberg and Ross Douthat get together to explain the range of arguments around the week’s political debate. While this one’s mostly for people who are interested in US politics and policy-making, it should appeal to a wider audience given that these things have wider implications. For their first episode dropped on October 11, the panel discussed if Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation broke the US Supreme Court. New episodes drop every Thursday.
