About the Show

Broken Media is a weekly podcast that examines the institutions, policies, and ideas that define modern America. Through long-form conversations with journalists, scholars, and practitioners, we dig beneath the headlines to understand how power actually works.

From healthcare to housing, education to elections — we believe that understanding the systems around us is the first step toward changing them. No hot takes. No partisan talking points. Just careful analysis and genuine inquiry.
