2024 Sunday Chat: Obama Scolds Black Men, The New Media Landscape

plus Jody's essay about decency, and supporting Harris

Hey all, as you may know we’re doing special conversations on Sundays with analysis of the 2024 race. Today, we talk about Obama’s speech calling out Black men; the continued stasis in the race; and then dive into the very fractured media landscape that Harris and Trump are operating in. Our guest is the brilliant Nayeema Raza from the Mixed Signals podcast on Semafor.

It’s in the podcast feed now, but also on YouTube!

Here’s a favorite moment.

Finally, in the episode I talked about how I participated in the “270 Reasons” project, where I contributed a short essay about why I’m supporting Harris and Walz for president. Here’s my essay, and check out the rest of the project for lots of other great pieces from people like Jeff Tweedy, George Saunders, Khaled Hosseini, Avery Trufelman and lots more.

We’ll be back in your feed with another episode on Tuesday. Until then, enjoy your weekend!
