Bully Pulpit (the podcast) is no more: Bob Garfield signs off

The episode is a recap of Garfield's career, including a few highlights from his OTM days which I remember well.

For the textuallly-inclined:

[D]ue to certain circumstances, situations, events, misfortunes and all kinds of converging mishegas (some highly juicy details forthcoming), but the bottom line is: Bully Pulpit, the Podcast, is dead.

Not that the blog Bully Pulpit will in fact continue.

May You Suffer for Your Crimes

We all know who did this.

Bob promised good faith arguments. He promised never to become “a spasm of id.”

Then they massacred the children. Again.

Bob channels his anger. There's plenty to go 'round. And plenty needed.

The 60-Year Coup, Part 2

Part 2 of Bob’s conversation with author Anne Nelson about the Council for National Policy, which has spent decades exploiting bugs in the system to gain minority control of our politics — and our future.

Nelson's book is Shadow network : media, money, and the secret hub of the radical right

Presents a look at the forty-year history of the Council for National Policy, a politically conservative coalition which raises and channels money, provides strategic advice, and enlists voter participation in support of its conservative, right wing agenda.

It Wasn't Me, It Was My Dog

Bob talks with Princeton scholar Orestis Papakyriakopoulos about the social media titan’s latest assault on transparency, and the all-too-familiar blame-shifting that followed it. That has become standard operating procedure from a company Bob describes as “amoral, except when it’s immoral.”

Things That Fall

Bully Pulpit, Episode 1

Bully Pulpit is a podcast about politics, media, culture and society based on four simple principles: observation, argument, narrative and honesty. It should also go without saying that the interviews, essays and pieces will hinge on evidence — as opposed to the asinine and dangerous political currents that favor sentiments and full-on delusions over facts. Indeed, I don’t invoke Sturm und Drang lightly, because that was the name of the intellectual and artistic movement of the late 1700s that privileged sentiment over reason, rejecting Rationalist rigor in favor of human emotion. (Thanks for nothing Jean-Jacques Rousseau.) And as long as we’re doing historical shoutouts, let me also offer a Rough Rider-hat tip to Theodore Roosevelt, the pioneer of Progressivism, who is my spirit guide in this enterprise.

An introduction and preview of the programme, though it's awfully nice to hear Bob's voice again.

Bully Pulpit is a wry and pointed take on politics, media and society from longtime public radio personality Bob Garfield. His astute cultural criticism, infused with wit and humor, has earned him many prestigious journalism awards, as well as praise such as “very brave” and “national treasure.”

"We don't consider argumentative to be an insult, we consider it to be an art form."
