Award-winning journalist Miranda Spivack joins the show for a conversation about why local journalism matters now more than ever. We discuss how the consolidation of media ownership by billionaires such as Jeff Bezos and others is reshaping news coverage, why strong local reporting remains essential to holding power accountable, and what happens when communities lose their watchdogs. We also explore the growing impact of AI data centers on local communities, the challenges citizens face in making their voices heard, and why some of the biggest national stories begin with reporters covering city halls, school boards, and neighborhood issues. Miranda is the author of Backroom Deals in Our Backyards: How Government Secrecy Harms Our Communities and the Local Heroes Fighting Back, a timely look at the local journalists and citizens working to expose corruption and fight for transparency. If you care about accountability, democracy, and the future of journalism, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. @michaelregilio

Regilio v. Everything is a comedy and current events podcast hosted by two comedians who approach the week’s biggest stories with skepticism, sarcasm, and a healthy disregard for sacred cows. From politics and culture wars to science, technology, and the occasional absurd scandal, no topic is off limits. This week, Michael and Travis discuss Trump’s latest self-comparison to history’s most notorious rulers, Nazis accidentally showing up at a Christian nationalist conference, a literacy event derailed by a spelling error, new research on vaccines and public health, alleged corruption surrounding the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, Peter Thiel’s secretive Dialog society, Elon Musk’s growing influence in government and AI, controversies in youth sports, SpaceX environmental lawsuits, and the White House’s latest Epstein files headache. It’s news, politics, and human stupidity filtered through the perspective of two comedians trying to make sense of an increasingly ridiculous world. @michaelregilio

A Turning Point USA speaker defends witch trials. America’s refugee program admits virtually nobody except white South Africans.We also cover the rise of “Chud the Builder” from racist livestreamer to alleged attempted murderer and far-right martyr, Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire, a new fight over mail ballots, a meth arrest inside a Republican presidential campaign, the mystery of Trump’s “Made in America” phone @michaelregilio

He stormed the Capitol on January 6. He says he’s still a Proud Boy. He spent years behind bars and emerged more convinced than ever that he was right. I sat down with Jon Mellis for a spirited, civil, and fascinating conversation about January 6, prison, political extremism, Trump, pardons, and whether America can survive when two sides can’t even agree on what happened. You won’t be bored with this one. With many issues left on the table, we’ve already decided to do a Part Two. Stay tuned. @michaelregilio

An atheist and a Christian sit down for a respectful conversation about faith, doubt, and the biggest questions in life. Pastor Michael Seale tries to convince me to open my heart to Jesus. I explain why I remain unconvinced. We disagree on almost everything, but manage to have a thoughtful and friendly conversation. @michaelregilio

A Trump-connected energy deal worth more than a billion dollars. New questions about Jeffrey Epstein, Michael Flynn, Bill Pulte, federal purges, and who is getting rich from White House donor projects. @michaelregilio

Trump’s Worst Week Yet: Corruption, Crime, and a Very Strange Sex SeminarTrump tries to put his face on a $250 bill, a judge blocks his Kennedy Center vanity project, corruption scandals keep piling up, and Republican officials face disturbing criminal allegations.

Chaos, corruption, and comedy from start to finish. @michaelregilio
