Why nobody is talking about the one thing everything depends upon. Peter Boghossian puts that question to Doomberg, the famous anonymous analyst who appears as a green chicken. He's built an extraordinary following by being honest about what the establishment won't. They cover the US dollar, the AI arms race, the Iran war, the renewables fantasy, and end on a question Doomberg is turning into a book: How do you find the truth when ...
If you cannot name one statistic supporting your position, you do not have a position. You have a feeling you are too afraid to examine. Peter Boghossian walks through two viral clips of politicians defending claims about immigration and antisemitism while knowing nothing, and saying less. Ideology does not just distort thinking. It replaces it.

Peter Boghossian presses Dr. Drew on the treatments medicine won't touch, including ibogaine for opioid addiction, peptides, GLP-1 risks, and hormone replacement therapy. Dr. Drew doesn't hedge. What emerges is an argument for evidence-based medicine in an era of regulatory timidity, and with Trump's executive order on psychedelics, that conversation just became more urgent. The discussion ends where it sh...

Craig Biddle makes the case that Objectivism is not simply Ayn Rand's philosophy but the only philosophically defensible foundation for individual rights, reason, and a free society. Peter Boghossian pushes back, probing the epistemological claims, the treatment of altruism, and whether a closed system can survive genuine philosophical scrutiny.
What emerges is a collision between a defender of a complete moral framework and a skep...

Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
