Factually! with Adam Conover

Hollywood’s been collapsing to the right. Cancelling projects that lean right, refusing to acknowledge the genocide in Palestine, and generally capitulating to Trump’s second term. Many people in the entertainment industry are doing their best to just keep their heads down, but not Joel Kim Booster. On top of being a successful actor, writer, and comedian, over the past few years Joel has made a name for himself in his outspoken and unsparing views of the modern political moment, from the big stage down to local politics. This week, Adam talks with Joel about what it’s like to work in an industry that’s abandoned progressive views once they were no longer convenient.

Elon Musk sucks so bad, dude. We all know this already. Unfortunately, however, he remains one of the most consequential people on the planet. This means that understanding him, his philosophy, and his goals for the planet (and human species) is actually… kinda important. This week, Adam speaks with Ben Tarnoff and Quinn Slobodian, authors of Muskism: A Guide for the Perplexed, about who Elon really is and the dark nature of the ideology he’s trying to inflict upon us.

This week, Adam is joined by political writer and podcaster Erin Ryan and comedian Andra Whipple to discuss the Texas primary, the Pope dunking on A.I., and the new trend book publishers have of updating old references in books to appeal to “the kids.” How very “skibidi 6-7” of them.
