Meet America’s deranged philosopher-queen | My latest podcast is a discussion of one of the great mysteries of American politics - Ayn Rand, the woman whose ideas drive the American right, and crashed the global economy. How did a little Russian bomb of immorality - a woman who said the only virtue is selfishness - conquer the United States?

Glenn Greenwald – A Conversation, Part II | My latest interview is part two of my conversation with the most essential political commentator in the US: Glenn Greenwald of Salon.com. He is part of a tradition of American writers – from Thomas Paine to Mark Twain to Noam Chomsky – who embody the best values of America, because it always starts from a simple premise. He looks at the victims of the US government – both at home and abroad – and asks – how would I feel if this was done to me? How would I feel if I was being wiretapped? How would I feel if my house and my family were blown up by robot-bombers sent from thousands of miles away? In our conversation, we explore how political tribalism often blinds American liberals to crimes committed by Democrats - and how Glenn learned, from his childhood in Florida, to see beyond this.

Andrew Sullivan – the interview | Andrew Sullivan is one of the most read bloggers in the world, with over a million readers – including, we now know from one of his press conferences, Barack Obama. Lots of people regard Andrew’s story and his identity as inherently contradictory. They ask – how can you be at the same time gay, HIV-positive, Catholic, and conservative? How can you be on the right and yet one of Obama’s strongest defenders in the American debate? As a friend of Andrew's for many years, I've always know there was a strong vein of philosophical, intellectual and emotional consistency to his work. My latest podcast is an intimate conversation about what drives Andrew, ranging across his incredibly eventful life - ending today with him confronting his nemesis: Rick Santorum.

Customer Reviews
Where are you Johann?
Great podcast! This, along with Real Time, DemocracyNow and KCRW's Left Right and Center are my favorites. Unfortunately there has been no new podcasts in over a month from Johann? Hope all is well with him and he is back soon.
Uncompromisingly intelligent commentary
Excellent podcast, Johann. I've missed your insightful, intelligent commentary and I hope you'll be back soon. Cheers!
Always eye-opening
Johann Hari always offers such brilliant and insightful commentary. He is also unafraid to label a lie as such and to confront the person propagating those lies. This is a great source for info on all progressive issues.
