    IS THAT A TRUMP ROCKET DOCKET IN YOUR POCKET? 8.4.23

    IS THAT A TRUMP ROCKET DOCKET IN YOUR POCKET?  8.4.23

    SEASON 2 EPISODE 5: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

    A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: In a tradition as old as the nation itself, Trump has been indicted. The true headline is the accelerated timeline the Judge imposes. There can be no question they intend to begin this trial not just before the election but WELL before the election.

    B-Block (19:29) IN SPORTS: The shut-up-and-dribble crowd forgets to shut up. The DeVos-owned NBA Orlando Magic donates $50,000 to a campaign arm of the racist, homophobic Ron DeSantis and the team players and ALL the NBA players rightfully go nuts. And Tiger Woods joins the PGA Board: will he save us from the Saudi takeover of golf, or collaborate with those who want to see The Prince Mohammed Bin Salman Masters? (23:43) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Trump whore Mark Levin with an embarrassing flub, Tampa discovers "Dumpster Fire" is not always just a metaphor, and General Michael Flynn was trying to tweet something AGAINST child trafficking but wound up tweeting something that sounds like it's FOR child trafficking. We think that's what it is.

    C-Block (29:10) FRIDAYS WITH THURBER: If it's another indictment day I can only read you one of the master's works: he wrote it in 1931 when Donald wasn't even a gleam in Fred Trump's eye at an invigorating KKK rally. Yet it is the story: "The Greatest Man In The World."

    WE MUST KICK RUSSIA OUT OF THE U.N. 10.11.22

    WE MUST KICK RUSSIA OUT OF THE U.N. 10.11.22

    EPISODE 51: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

    A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: Putin is doubling down and we must act. We must avoid war, so we must DO everything else. We must at least explore dissolving the United Nations and re-forming it without Russia (3:05) More practically, Biden must reverse his September decision and declare Russia a State Sponsor of Terrorism - it's what the oligarchs fear most (4:27) And the need to do SOMETHING is not just about Russia. It's about Russia's propagandists here - paid or not - like Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, CPAC, and Michael Flynn. We have to make it career-ending to supply the Kremlin with anti-Ukraine sound bites.

    B-Block (15:09) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Al, in Miami (16:25) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: The lone Ohio Senate Debate is a TKO for Tim Ryan over J.D. Vance, or, if you prefer, "Hillbilly Eulogy"; Maggie Haberman battered by BBC; LA Council resignations not enough. (20:15) IN SPORTS: Baseball lifer gets the big gig in Philly; the five-year plan in Carolina turns into a five-week plan; Tommy Tuberville blowback hits sports (22:23) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Candace Owens, Owen Shroyer, and Jason Whitlock defend Kanye West and antisemitism, and compete with Lauren Boebert and the Secretary of the Army for the crown.

    C-Block (27:08) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Five different baseball franchises have tried to get me fired - at ESPN, at KTLA, at Fox Sports. Only one has kinda sorta succeeded. The remarkable story from ten years ago: when MLB Network offered me a show, and then reneged when threatened by the Yankees.

    Influencing the Future of Journalism with Lead Author of Reuters Institute Digital Report, Nic Newman #26

    The BBC’s coverage of news events is an institutional mainstay, and journalism would be bereft with its absence. Playing a key role in shaping their internet presence is one Nic Newman, now a Lead Author of the Reuters Institute Digital Report.

    Clearly, Nic’s dedication to quality journalism delivered effectively is a trait demonstrated throughout his career, from the demanding training grounds of local radio, to playing an instrumental role in the formation of the BBC’s news website, to now heading up the world’s largest annual report in his field.

    Joining Lee Cooper on this week’s Extrology podcast, Nic shares the exciting advancements that paved the way for the BBC’s digital presence, some incredible findings from his work with the Reuters Institute, and the balance to be found between technological advancements and retaining human connection.

    Lee and Nic discuss:

    • How Nic broke family expectations to enter the world of radio
    • The incredibly broad skillset demanded by roles in local radio stations
    • Editing as a ‘lost art’
    • Moments of large scale change in journalistic delivery
    • Building the BBC’s reputation and infrastructure
    • Combatting the feelings-over-facts reporting currently prevalent on the internet
