  • Miranda Is Not the Villain, with The Devil Wears Prada 2’s Writer & Director

    Miranda Is Not the Villain, with The Devil Wears Prada 2’s Writer & Director
    May 4 2026
    The Devil Wears Prada 2 is a cultural event 20 years in the making — and it doesn’t disappoint. Kara invites screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna and director David Frankel to discuss the film, its making, and the state of media and Hollywood today. Aline and David talk about why they waited so long to revisit the world of The Devil Wears Prada, how the media business has changed in the interim, and how the films have shaped the public’s understanding of women, ambition, and power. The trio also discuss Kara’s fashion sense (she has a cameo, as herself, of course), AI’s effect on filmmakers, and why bad behavior is so fun to watch. Questions? Comments?

  • Life After Trump: Astead Herndon On What’s Next for American Politics

    Life After Trump: Astead Herndon On What’s Next for American Politics
    Apr 27 2026
    Political journalist Astead Herndon is using his new Vox podcast America, Actually with Astead Herndon to ask what feels like an unfathomable question: What does our country look like after President Trump; and can we even talk about politics without putting him at the center? As we head towards its first truly open presidential election since 2016, Kara and Astead talk about the ways politics has changed in the last decade, and what it takes to attract voters today. They discuss the growing disillusionment and splintering amongst Trump’s base and toss around predictions about who might in the GOP be in line to replace him. And they analyze the structural impediments that could blunt a Democratic wave in the midterms and beyond. Questions? Comments?
