  • A Summer Treat: 'Weird Al' Yankovic On His Life & Career In Show Business

    A Summer Treat: 'Weird Al' Yankovic On His Life & Career In Show Business
    Jun 19 2025
    And now, a diversion from the news.

    When Weird Al's debut single, "My Bologna," came out, there wasn't really a model for how a parody artist could have any longevity in their career. Yet Al's figured out how to stay popular for over four decades. Ahead of his summer "Bigger and Weirder" tour, he talks with Wild Card with Rachel Martin about staying weird as he ages, parenthood, and his devoted (some might say obsessive) fans.

    We'll be back in your feeds tomorrow with the weekly roundup.

    How The Farm Industry Is Complicating Trump's Immigration Crackdown
    Jun 17 2025
    Last week, President Trump suggested the agriculture industry might be spared from his immigration crackdown. But Tuesday, Homeland Security officials confirmed there would be no change to enforcement policy — and no workplace safe from potential raids. We look at what this means economically and politically.

    This episode: voting correspondent Miles Parks, immigration policy reporter Ximena Bustillo, and chief economics correspondent Scott Horsley.

    Weekly Roundup: Israel vs. Iran, Immigration News, and A Mascot Love Triangle
    Jun 13 2025
    Israel launched strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, killing at least three of Iran's top military leaders. We look at why Israel took these actions now, what Iran might do next, and how the conflict complicates President Trump's efforts to be a dealmaker and a peacekeeper.

    Also, the dramatic removal of a U.S. Senator from a Homeland Security press conference capped off a week of aggressive immigration moves by the Trump administration. How are Americans responding to Trump's shows of force?

    This episode: political correspondent Sarah McCammon, senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro, and national security correspondent Greg Myre.

  • Love In The Time Of Politics

    Love In The Time Of Politics
    Jun 12 2025
    Roses are red,
    Violets are blue,
    Their politics are opposites —
    Could their love be true?

    New polling from NPR/PBS News/Marist suggests, for young people, probably not. They're more likely than other generations to consider differences in political opinions deal breakers when dating.

    This episode: political correspondent Sarah McCammon, political reporter Elena Moore, and voting correspondent Miles Parks.
