  • The Sycophancy Machine / Why the Left Needs Critical Media Literacy

    The Sycophancy Machine / Why the Left Needs Critical Media Literacy
    Jul 3 2026
    First up, Mickey Huff sits down with public health researcher and journalist Lily Minh Wass to talk about the sycophancy machine. Lily outlines the subtle and disturbing quirks of AIs large language models, amplifying our human desire to be agreed with, which supersedes the desire to be factual. Lily highlights our cognitive offloading onto AI, breaks down how these systems operate, and more. Next up, Mickey and I dig into some of the news that did make the news but was wrong. We highlight the need for critical media literacy, especially when were confronted with something that pings our confirmation bias. We also dive into some history, the US at 250, the framing of our nationalistic ideals, the society of the spectacle, Idiocracy, and finding our way to solidarity. The News That Didn’t Make the News. Each week, co-hosts Mickey Huff and Eleanor Goldfield conduct in depth interviews with their guests and offer hard hitting commentary on the key political, social, and economic issues of the day with an emphasis on critical media literacy.

  • Dignity Cannot Be Divided: In Conversation with Dr. Ramzy Baroud

    Dignity Cannot Be Divided: In Conversation with Dr. Ramzy Baroud
    Jul 10 2026
    This week on the program, a special full show with Palestinian author, historian and academic Dr. Ramzy Baroud about his latest book Before the Flood: A Gaza Family Memoir Across Three Generations of Colonial Invasion, Occupation, and War in Palestine. Dr. Baroud takes us through long duree, a history that has not been amputated and distorted by colonial narrative. He explains the failings of corporate media, of political discourse, and the need for oppressed peoples to tell their own stories, without countering, without arguing the points of the oppressor. Because dignity cannot be divided. Freedom cannot be sectionalized. Dr. Ramzy Baroud is a Palestinian author, historian, and academic whose work centers on Palestinian history, liberation, and peoples history. He is the editor of The Palestine Chronicle, a position he has held since 1999, where he has helped shape an alternative narrative grounded in lived Palestinian experience. He holds a Ph.D. in Palestine Studies from the University of Exeter and has taught mass communication at Curtin University. He is also a Non-Resident Senior Research Fellow at the Center for Islam and Global Affairs at Zaim University in Istanbul. Dr. Baroud is the author of eight books, including Searching Jenin, The Second Palestinian Intifada, My Father Was a Freedom Fighter, The Last Earth, and These Chains Will Be Broken. He is also the co-editor, with Ilan Papp, of Our Vision for Liberation, and the forthcoming volume Gaza Rising. His latest book, Before the Flood, reconstructs Gaza’s modern history through family memory and intergenerational testimony. His work brings together history, journalism, and political analysis, contributing to global conversations on Palestine, decolonization, and resistance. He has lectured widely at universities and institutions around the world, engaging audiences on Palestine, media, and popular resistance. The News That Didn’t Make the News. Each week, co-hosts Mickey Huff and Eleanor Goldfield conduct in depth interviews with their guests and offer hard hitting commentary on the key political, social, and economic issues of the day with an emphasis on critical media literacy.

  • Project Censored – History Outside Colonial Time / Fighting LGBTQ Invisibilization

    Project Censored – History Outside Colonial Time / Fighting LGBTQ Invisibilization
    Jun 26 2026
    First up, I sit down with professor Abboud Hamayel to discuss the misuse of history, in particular archaeology as a tool of ethnic cleansing and genocide. Abboud also deconstructs the performative solidarity of pity, the entangled histories that make Palestine a lens through which to frame our own struggles, the jealousy of the settler, and stepping outside of colonial time. Next up, Metas censorship of LGBTQ voices brings together digital activists, legal experts and LGBTQ communities to combat invisibilization. We discuss the problematic dependency on social media platforms, how this can spur the creation of alternative comms and organizing methods, digital legal frameworks in the EU vs the US, and more. Abboud Hamayel is a Palestinian intellectual, lecturer, and political analyst. He is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Philosophy and Cultural Studies at Birzeit University, near Ramallah. Caspar Pistersis the head of communication for Amsterdams wonderful & notorious Club Church. With a background in journalism, currently Caspar does communications for the Dutch HIV organization. Martha Dimitratou is the founder and Executive Director of Repro Uncensored, a global nonprofit documenting and challenging systemic online censorship, AI-driven harms, and the influence of Big Tech on access to information, freedom of expression, and democratic participation. Repro Uncensoreds research and investigations have been featured by hundreds of media outlets worldwide. Through Repro Uncensored, she also develops cultural initiatives and movement-building projects that bring together art, technology, digital rights, and social justice. Lotje Beekis a policy advisor at the Dutch digital rights organization Bits of Freedom, focusing on Big Tech and online platforms. She mainly works on digital rights within European platform regulation. In that context, she advocates for the effective enforcement of the Digital Services Act. Successfully so: Bits of Freedom recently won a court case against Meta Platforms based on that law. The News That Didn’t Make the News. Each week, co-hosts Mickey Huff and Eleanor Goldfield conduct in depth interviews with their guests and offer hard hitting commentary on the key political, social, and economic issues of the day with an emphasis on critical media literacy.
