The Atlantic Current, Ep. 72: Trump Part VI, A Fake Comeback Leads To Reality TV (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The sweeping biography of Donald Trump as cultural figure comes to an end. Trump weathers his collapse by audaciously — and hysterically — creating a brilliant but imaginary comeback. Left outside the business world, Trump is rescued by reality television, which rehabilitates his reputation and leads to a new business model of licensing anything he can. But, by the early 2010s, even that career seems to be at an end. An ignominious appearance on cable television in a show for washed-up, scandal-

Ep. 71: Trump Calls For A United Ireland, Hopefully Before AI Kills Us All (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Donald Trump sends the island of Ireland into an uproar as he calls for a unified Ireland. Is it, as some believe, a coordinated effort to take a shot at a Labour government that won’t cooperate enough overseas?

Tull and Vince have fun with the visit, while Tull details the promise and peril of what a United Ireland might look like.And with the “actually, AI could kill everyone” risk stor

The Atlantic Current, Ep. 70: September 11, Then And Now (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ahead of the 25th anniversary, Vince and Tull revisit that day. Vince discusses what it was like being in Manhattan as the Twin Towers were hit and fell, while Tull offers his own remembrance from a rural pub in Ireland. The aftermath of the event — particularly when the US veered into Iraq — has colored that day, and Tull asks if Americans have ever fully come to grips with what happened. Vince closes with a heartfelt plea — and a way, to, perhaps to properly honor the victims.Episode Links:App
