  • Actor Josh Brolin: A Life in Vivid Color
    2024/11/17

    Since the turn of the century, actor Josh Brolin has had quite a run. From No Country for Old Men and Hail Caesar from the Coen Brothers, to Inherent Vice from Paul Thomas Anderson, to Sicario and the Dune films from Denis Villeneuve.

    His new memoir, From Under the Truck, contains stories about the life in between. We discuss his upbringing bouncing from Paso Robles to Santa Barbara (4:30), the influence of his mother (10:00), and his entry to writing (18:00). Then, Brolin reflects on his vivid early adulthood in the 80s (24:00), the power of a story (28:00), and what actor Anthony Hopkins illuminated about sobriety (30:00).

    On the back-half, we get into his collaborations with the Coen Brothers (34:00), his challenging relationship to drinking (44:00), and why finally, after three decades of playing characters on screen, it was time to fill in some of the backstory (1:00:00).

  • What Can Be, Burdened By What Has Been (with Astead Herndon of NYT)
    2024/11/10

    It’s been a week. To help us through it, we’ve enlisted The New York Times political reporter Astead Herndon.

    We start with election night 2024 versus election night 2016 (6:35), what Astead discovered about the electorate reporting across the U.S. on his podcast The Run-Up (9:25), and how insider Democrats arrived at a second Biden run in 2023 (13:30). Then, we discuss politicians’ “lowercase racist” assumptions about Black and Latino voters (16:02), Herndon’s telling one on one interview with Vice President Harris (22:52), and the pervasive, nationwide sentiments that led to Donald Trump’s re-election (32:24).

    On the back-half: where the Harris campaign fell short in its messaging to voters (38:48), the rise of the “podcast election” (44:48), a revealing window into the Biden administration (47:35), how quickly “good intentions” can turn power corrupted (53:01), and why the Democratic party must remake itself (1:00:55) as we begin to move forward from this election (1:06:00).

  • Ta-Nehisi Coates (‘The Message’) is Live in Los Angeles
    2024/11/03

    On the heels of his latest book The Message, author Ta-Nehisi Coates joins Sam for a conversation in Los Angeles.

    At the top, we discuss how his Atlantic piece The Case for Reparations guided these three new essays (6:10), Coates’ early education growing up in West Baltimore (14:57), and his powerful dispatches from South Carolina (22:00) and the Middle East (29:30).

    On the back-half, Coates unpacks why he believes the mainstream media prioritizes “factual complexity over self-evident morality” (37:47), his advocacy for Palestinian journalists (39:20), and his reflections about the U.S. election (47:28). To close, a formative passage from James Baldwin's The Lost Generation (52:38) and a story about love and writing (57:45).
