#wethepeople Live

It's been a controversial week for comedy legend Andy Kindler. The Letterman alum kicked a hornet's nest by tweeting that Sam Harris is an anti-Muslim bigot... on what turned out to be the eve of a jihadist attack on Westminster. Harris pushed back. A Twitter shit-storm ensued. #WeThePeople LIVE is the only show that has featured both Harris and Kindler as recent guests, so we sought a détente. Josh spoke with Sam via email, and sat down with Andy to discuss the disagreement, Islam, bigotry, and the ugliness of trolling. Who's right? Who's wrong? You decide! Our thanks to Harris and Kindler for their time. Make debate healthy again, humans. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Louis Theroux is one of the most important figures on British TV. His BBC documentaries have won him two BAFTAs, an Emmy nomination and superstar status across the pond (and Down Under). Louis started out as a correspondent on Michael Moore’s NBC show "TV Nation" and then got his own show examining weird aspects of humankind. His latest foray is “My Scientology Movie”, a documentary feature film. Louis sat down with Josh to discuss religion, politics, creativity and what we mean when we say we “believe” something. (It's, like, heavy, dude. In a nice British way.) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Free will! Marxism! Moral philosophy! Cruelty to animals! Cruelty to Nazis! Sam Harris! Peter Singer! This week, Josh takes a break from politics in a wide-ranging, thought-provoking dialog with the wisest comedian we know, Myq Kaplan. The two of them ponder veganism, ayahuasca, factory farms, refugees, and the inexplicable narcissism of the Orange President (okay, of course they don’t avoid politics 100%.) Myq’s new comedy album, No Kidding, drops on February 17th. Buckle up, humans, for this non-stop ride to brainy-town. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Probably not. Who knows? Maybe Medium.com does. Several articles have gone viral on Facebook with titles like "“Trial balloon for a coup." Might the chaos of Trump's first two weeks be a deception? Whom should we believe, dear listener? Why, Josh! He gets down with the writer of one of Medium's most viral articles, "The Immigration Ban is a Headfake, and We’re Falling For It" -- the successful Silicon Valley entrepreneur and CEO, Jake Fuentes. Democracy! Fake news! World affairs! Steve Bannon! It's all sexy. It's all here. Enjoy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

After a relaxing holiday hiatus, we're back! And so is America's political shitstorm. Amid sordid rumors about his links to Russia, Trump held his first press conference as president-elect. Today, Josh is joined from Moscow by Russian dissident journalist Alexey Kovalev to discuss Putin's press conferences, fake news, and the future of the media in a strongman state (not before, of course, Josh dishes his thoughts on golden showers and the dreaded dossier.)
