Democracy Under Threat: The Soft Hum of Corruption
Despite what cable news may have you believe, Donald Trump is not the sole threat to our democracy. This week, we’re peeling back the rhetoric and taking a look at where the vulnerabilities in our institutions lie. In conversation with Jane Mayer, Chief Washington Correspondent for The New Yorker magazine and Noah Bookbinder, President of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, Jon explores the roots of our democratic dysfunction. From ever-multiplying dark money to shark tanking ideas for tax transparency, this episode has it all. Plus, hear from producers of the pod and get a taste for what you can expect in episodes to come!
Fact Check: Jane Mayer mentions that Jon said the FEC is about as useless as male nipples. It was, in fact, Jordan Klepper who said this.

Customer Reviews
Love the content AND . . .
Why do the guests keep
Getting cut off? Why have guests if they can’t get a full thought out?
Wish I Could Have My Time Back
Horrible podcast and couldn’t care about what these people have to say. I am dumber for having listened to it.
Sounds Promising
The first episode of the Weekly Show was really good. The entire series could be a useful way to discuss changes that would improve democracy.
I hope they invite Lee Drutman on to discuss electoral reform
