  • Can America Survive Its 250th Birthday Party?

    Can America Survive Its 250th Birthday Party?
    Jun 30 2026
    America is turning 250, but the celebration is already running into controversy. In this episode of Apocalypse...Now?, I explore the political tensions, sponsorship disputes, and cultural conflicts surrounding America's semiquincentennial, from Washington, D.C. to Philadelphia. Then I kick off the latest installment of 250 Reasons to Love the USA with a look at 20 American inventions that changed the world, including the internet, the airplane, air conditioning, and the telephone. Is America too divided to celebrate its own birthday, or is arguing about America the most American tradition of all?

    Attack on Late Night: Democracy Decaying, and Stephen Colbert Yeeted Off of CBS
    Aug 4 2025
    Welcome back, you beautiful burned-out bunker builders-- where, in this episode, we explore the neon-lit hellscape we now call the entertainment industry. This is Apocalypse…Now?, the podcast where comedy, culture, and chaos hold hands and walk into the sea. On this episode, I summoned Emmy-nominated comedy writer and grief expert Alison Zeidman to the pod to talk about something terrifying: The death of late night television. More specifically — the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Yes. That Colbert. That show. That number-one-in-the-ratings Colbert. Gone. Slain not by market forces or ratings dips, but by a weird, murky cocktail of corporate cowardice, lawsuit settlements, and good old-fashioned fascist vibes. If you’re not screaming yet, don’t worry — Alison and I did plenty for you.
