Sarah Longwell is a realist. She said she’d like to say how things *should* be. But years of talking to voters had led her to say, “This is how things really are.” Politics must be grounded in reality. Huge crowd for Sarah.

The term “democracy” is now a polarizing term with MAGA. What most voters want is to feel that a leader will keep them safe and protect their well-being. And Trump polls are tanking because gas prices are high. (Sarah Longwell at Tribfest).

A search for Nathan Pali in podcasts returns dozens of shows; probably a number of them have titles and designs copying popular, original podcasts. It’s shabby and unsporting.

The same “Dr. Pali” does a plagiarized version the “The Rest is History” (by historians Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook). Compare their show title & cover to the copycat show. There might be more of these copycats. The “doctor” struggles with pronunciation of words while reading the test.

Excellent history podcast by two distinguished historians. Well researched, shows run about an hour.

Copycat podcast that began with a different show title & design and pivoted to copying the other, original podcast. Content is probably AI created. Each reading runs about 14 minutes.
