"David Frum: Hello, and welcome to The David Frum Show. I'm David Frum, a staff writer at The Atlantic. My guest this week will be my Atlantic colleague, Charlie Warzel, the host of the Galaxy Brain podcast, and we'll be talking about our experiences as new podcast hosts. We both launched podcasts this year. Some of the temptations, some of the dangers, and some of the lessons that we have learned from this year in podcasting."
The upcoming 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence prompts reflection on actions by President Donald Trump that run counter to 1776 ideals. The Founders' constitutional design is identified as a potential barrier to attempts at consolidating presidential power. Charlie Warzel and David Frum compare experiences launching new podcasts and examine temptations to prioritize extreme content to attract audiences. They emphasize hosting responsibility in a media environment that rewards clicks and acknowledge conspiracy theorists functioning as an alternate reality to mainstream media. Edward Berenson's The Trial of Madame Caillaux is used to consider how future generations may judge present beliefs.
