    Find Out: Why the right dominates the man-o-sphere
    Jul 3 2025
    This week, the Find Out crew sits down with author and internet veteran Jason Pargin to explore how the far-right won over a generation of young men—and how progressives can fight to win them back. We discuss: How Jason's 2012 Cracked article on personal growth went viral Why the left's purity culture and tone-policing are losing battles Why platforms like Twitch, TikTok, and Substack are shaping politics What it will take to win young men back—and what we're getting wrong right now Jason also reflects on his new novel I'm Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom and his journey from longform blogging to TikTok stardom.

  • Is Zohran Mamdani the Future of the Left - Plus the Fate of the Middle East

    Is Zohran Mamdani the Future of the Left - Plus the Fate of the Middle East
    Jun 26 2025
    @⁨Tim Fullerton⁩ Title and description for ya. In our first two-part episode, we kick things off with a massive W for progressives: Zohran Mamdani’s win over Andrew Cuomo didn’t just shock the system—it shattered the illusion that establishment democrats are untouchable. It’s a crucial moment that could reshape democratic politics ahead of two incredibly consequential election cycles. Then, journalist (and expert on the Middle East) Dan Perry joins us to explore Trump’s escalation with Iran. Does he have a plan? Or is this just more foreign policy roulette? Needless to say, there were some disagreements on this one.Follow, subscribe, and support: 🧢 findoutpodcast.com 📬 findoutpodcast.substack.com 📱 @FindOutPodcast 📧 tips@findoutpodcast.com

  • How We Got Here: Iran, Trump, and the Deal He Broke

    How We Got Here: Iran, Trump, and the Deal He Broke
    Jun 24 2025
    Trump’s attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities didn’t come out of nowhere — it came out of 2018, when he blew up the deal Obama built. While Democrats cry “unconstitutional,” they’re missing the more powerful argument: Trump caused this. We trace the path from 2018 to today, compare it to the War in Iraq, and talk about what could come next. But we didn’t want it to be all doom and gloom — so we also celebrated Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release order, and some wins from our own lives to remind us that not everything is so bad.👕 **Merch** made in the USA & union-made: https://findoutpodcast.com 📬 Subscribe to bonus content: https://findoutpodcast.substack.com 📱 Follow us everywhere: @FindOutPodcast 📣 Share this episode & tag us #FindOutPodcast 📥 Send us feedback and tips: hello@findoutpodcast.com

  • ICE and Iran: Make America go to war again?

    ICE and Iran: Make America go to war again?
    Jun 19 2025
    Two topics are dominating the news this week - and neither of them are good. ICE detaining more Democratic elected officials and Mr. "No New Wars" Donald Trump flirts with going to war with Iran. Will MAGA stand with Trump or split with him if he goes to war? This is more on the latest episode of the Find Out Podcast.👕 **Merch** made in the USA & union-made: https://findoutpodcast.com 📬 Subscribe to bonus content: https://findoutpodcast.substack.com 📱 Follow us everywhere: @FindOutPodcast 📣 Share this episode & tag us #FindOutPodcast 📥 Send us feedback and tips: hello@findoutpodcast.com

  • Trump’s Losing Grip — And We’re Gaining Ground

    Trump’s Losing Grip — And We’re Gaining Ground
    Jun 17 2025
    After months of frustration, we’re finally seeing signs that the tide is turning. The No Kings protests completely overshadowed Trump’s sad excuse for a military parade, his approval rating is tanking, and he’s even starting to walk back his hardline immigration stance — proof that protest works. We also break down how Trump’s recklessness helped spark the current crisis with Iran and why he bears direct responsibility for the fallout. Trump’s on his heels, and for the first time in a long time, we’re driving the narrative. To close it out, in honor of Father’s Day, we each reflected on how our dads shaped the people we’ve become. It’s the kind of conversation men usually save for one day a year — but probably shouldn’t. All in all, this episode captures a rare feeling: things are shifting, and we might actually be getting somewhere.👕 **Merch** made in the USA & union-made: https://findoutpodcast.com 📬 Subscribe to bonus content: https://findoutpodcast.substack.com 📱 Follow us everywhere: @FindOutPodcast 📣 Share this episode & tag us #FindOutPodcast 📥 Send us feedback and tips: hello@findoutpodcast.com

  • From Public Housing to Public Office? Meet Deja Foxx.

    From Public Housing to Public Office? Meet Deja Foxx.
    Jun 12 2025
    Deja Foxx may only be 25, but she’s been fighting for progressive causes since she was 16 — all while growing up on Medicaid, food stamps, Section 8, and even facing homelessness. Now, she’s running for Congress in Arizona’s democratic special election primary. But Deja isn’t just another influencer activist — she’s incredibly sharp, savvy, and knows exactly what working people are up against because she lived it. In this episode, we dig into what makes Deja such a powerful voice in a party that’s desperate for fresh leadership. We also talk about the issues still plaguing the democratic party, how to humanize the fight against Trump’s mass deportation operation, and why candidates like Deja aren’t just refreshing — they’re essential.👕 **Merch** made in the USA & union-made: https://findoutpodcast.com 📬 Subscribe to bonus content: https://findoutpodcast.substack.com 📱 Follow us everywhere: @FindOutPodcast 📣 Share this episode & tag us #FindOutPodcast 📥 Send us feedback and tips: hello@findoutpodcast.com

Veteran political journalist John Harwood joins us to unpack the psychology behind Trump’s political playbook, the leadership voids he exploits, and the dangerous appeal of his chaos-first strategy.
