Current's The Pub

This week on The Pub, Mike Pesca, host of Slate's podcast "The Gist." Pesca talks about life after NPR, how public media looks from the outside, his rabble-rousing interview with Kim Kardashian while sub-hosting "Wait Wait . . . Don’t Tell Me!" and whether he thinks NPR has heeded his parting advice to be more ambitious and daring. (He doesn’t.) Also on the show: - Gayle Wald on her new book about "Soul!", an early PBS show featuring black music, culture and radical politics that CPB defunded. - Georgia Public Broadcasting’s Emily Jones on the real reason that women’s voices are the subject of so much scrutiny the days. - Host Adam Ragusea reflects on the differences between podcasting and live radio.
