  • Summary

  • Join Puck’s chief political columnist, MSNBC/NBC News national affairs analyst, and best-selling author John Heilemann as he roams the corridors of power and influence in America on this twice-weekly interview show, taking you behind the scenes and beyond the headlines with the people who shape and shift our culture: icons and up-and-comers, incumbents and insurgents, moguls and machers in the overlapping worlds of politics, entertainment, tech, business, sports, media, and beyond. The conversations are rich and revealing, unrehearsed and unexpected … and reliably impolitic. A Puck-Audacy joint, new episodes drop every Wednesday and Friday.

  • Dan Harris: Meditation, Mental Health, Six-Peckered Goats & The 2024 Election

    Dan Harris: Meditation, Mental Health, Six-Peckered Goats & The 2024 Election
    Sep 13 2024
    John is joined by Dan Harris, former ABC News anchor of Nightline, World News Sunday, and Good Morning America’s weekend edition, to discuss Dan's transformation into a full-time meditation and mental health guru and entrepreneur — and accidental social media influencer. The longtime pals discuss strategies for staying sane in the face of the flood of anxiety and agitation unleashed by the 2024 election; why failure is often more productive and profitable (mentally, emotionally, spiritually) than success; how to maintain a sense of calm and balance while working harder than, in Dan’s phrase, a “six-peckered goat;” and some big changes happening in Harris’s 10 Percent Happier empire.

  • Slaughterhouse 45: Puck Superfriends Assess Kamala's Decimation of The Donald

    Slaughterhouse 45: Puck Superfriends Assess Kamala's Decimation of The Donald
    Sep 11 2024
    John is joined by his Puck partners Dylan Byers and Peter Hamby to discuss the first (and maybe only) 2024 general election debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump—a mirror image and diametric opposite of Joe Biden’s debate debacle versus Trump in June. The Puck Superfriends analyze Harris's command of the sphere of battle, Trump's inability to avoid being triggered, baited, rattled, and enraged through much of the night; how ABC News’s David Muir and Linsey Davis handled the task of keeping the debate more or less on the rails; and how much, in the end, last night's round of Mortal Kombat in Killadelphia will impact the outcome of the election.

  • Jordan Klepper: Equal Oppty B.S.-Calling & The Daily Show Renaissance

    Jordan Klepper: Equal Oppty B.S.-Calling & The Daily Show Renaissance
    Sep 6 2024
    John is joined by The Daily Show’s Jordan Klepper to discuss the return of Jon Stewart to the show, the challenges of covering the RNC and DNC live, and his signature forays into the dark, savage, achingly comical heart of the MAGA-sphere at Donald Trump’s rallies. The two pals—who worked together when John dragooned Jordan into guest hosting his Showtime series The Circus—also debate the merits of Chicago’s iconic but disgusting local liqueur Malort (and even more iconic and appalling style of deep dish pizza), whether Klepper has a crush on former Estonian prime minister Kaja Kallas, and his resemblance to Gregor Samsa, the man-turned-cockroach protagonist in Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis.

Points of view

I first saw John Heilemann on Nicks Wallace’s MSNBC show and I liked listening to his point of view of the various topics. It’s better here because it’s more than a few minutes.
John’s guests are the best of the best so thanks for letting us get to hear their full opinions on whatever is going on at the time.

Great News!

I learned so much! Maybe I don't want to live forever but the possibility of living longer with a better quality of life has never been more accessible than it is today.

Insightful and important!!

Thank you so much for what you do, John and for bringing a very pertinent guest on, such as Debbie Dingell. The piece with her on The Circus was something I often revisited because it brought such high hopes to the eminent election of Joe Biden .They were hopes for much needed change to the political climate. This deeper dive really shed light into the important causes Ms. Dingell values and her invaluable work in Congress. I’d like to thank her for her bravery in sharing personal experiences that will undoubtedly help people in domestic violence situations and also surprisingly, in vaccine hesitations matters. You are such a brilliant light ,John and I personally thank you for drawing out many important points from Not only this interview, but every one you undertake!
