- 1 hour 30 minutes092 | 中期选举初选：特朗普背书破功，民主党现任失守 Midterm Primary Results
【聊了什么】
2026年中期选举初选进入尾声，两党的结果已经打破了不少看似稳固的判断。特朗普仍然牢牢影响共和党，但他亲自背书的候选人在多场关键初选中接连落败；民主党则有七名现任众议员倒在党内挑战者手下。特朗普的背书在哪些地方仍然有效？现任优势又为什么正在民主党内部失灵？
本期我们从密歇根、威斯康星和明尼苏达的选举结果谈起，讨论民主党建制派、进步派与民主社会主义者围绕“可当选性”、巴以议题、族裔代表和党内资源展开的路线之争。我们也分析了初选民调为什么会大幅失准：投票人群的构成、最后时刻的势头、竞选资金与组织能力，怎样让看似稳固的领先在投票日突然消失。
我们也讨论了可能决定参议院控制权的大选地图：德州、密歇根、缅因、俄亥俄、阿拉斯加、佐治亚、北卡和爱荷华，哪些是真正可能翻盘的战场，哪些只有在浪潮选举中才会出现意外？2026年的中期选举不只是红蓝之间的较量，也是两党内部关于谁能代表自己、谁能真正赢下大选的争夺。

【 What We Talked About】
The 2026 midterms have not yet entered their final stretch, but the party primaries have already upended several assumptions that once seemed settled. Donald Trump still holds considerable sway over the Republican Party, yet several candidates he personally endorsed have lost key primaries. Meanwhile, seven incumbent House Democrats were defeated by challengers from within their own party. Where does Trump’s endorsement still carry weight? And why is the advantage of incumbency breaking down among Democrats?
We examine the results in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, focusing on the struggle among the Democratic establishment, progressives, and democratic socialists over electability, Israel and Palestine, racial representation, and party resources. We also explore why primary polling missed the mark so badly: how turnout composition, late momentum, campaign spending, and organizing capacity can make an apparently secure lead disappear on Election Day.
We also survey the Senate map that could determine control of the chamber, including Texas, Michigan, Maine, Ohio, Alaska, Georgia, North Carolina, and Iowa. Which races present genuine opportunities to flip a seat, and which would become competitive only in a wave election? The 2026 midterms are not simply a contest between red and blue. They are also an internal struggle over who represents each party and who can actually win a general election.

23 August 2026, 10:30 pm - 1 hour 49 minutes091 | 2026高院判决盘点：法理左右互搏，对特朗普“小骂大帮忙” 2026 Supreme Court Rulings
【聊了什么】
同样讨论总统罢免权，FTC 不是例外，美联储却是；同样声称尊重文本和原意，保守派大法官在出生公民权、投票权和跨性别权益案中，却一次次更换自己的法理工具。
本期我们与 Nancy、品达一起盘点美国最高法院 2025-2026 开庭期：特朗普的“单一行政权”走到了哪一步？谁仍然被视为美国人？《投票权法》还剩下多少效力？跨性别学生为什么被排除在女子校队之外？当法院的判决越来越只能用政治解释，偶尔对特朗普说“不”，究竟是制度制衡，还是“小骂大帮忙”？

【 What We Talked About】
When considering the same question of presidential removal power, the Court decided that the FTC was not an exception, but the Federal Reserve was. And while the conservative justices continue to profess their commitment to textualism and originalism, they repeatedly switched doctrinal tools in cases involving birthright citizenship, voting rights, and transgender rights.
In this episode, Nancy and Pinda join us to review the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2025-2026 term. How far has Trump’s vision of the “unitary executive” advanced? Who still counts as American? How much remains of the Voting Rights Act? Why can transgender students be excluded from girls’ school sports? As the Court’s decisions become increasingly difficult to explain through legal doctrine alone, do its occasional rulings against Trump represent genuine institutional checks, or merely “small rebukes, big assists”?

【 What We Talked About】
Someone actually died, someone resurfaced after nearly a month to prove he's still alive, and someone else is alive but politically finished. This episode starts with Lindsey Graham's sudden death, the health mystery surrounding Mitch McConnell, and Graham Platner's withdrawal from his race over sexual assault allegations — a rundown of Washington's summer of the dead, the living, and the politically dead.
We also discuss the power vacuum Graham leaves behind, gerontocracy in Congress, the string of scandals hitting Democratic candidates, and how ICE enforcement is shaping the races in Maine and Texas. The second half turns to the re-escalating war with Iran, control of the Strait of Hormuz and Trump's proposed 20% transit fee, and finally why he's reviving 2020 election fraud claims ahead of the midterms.

21 July 2026, 9:41 pm - 1 hour 45 minutes089 | 250岁的美国，站上历史分水岭 America turns 250
【聊了什么】
美国250岁了。特朗普政府给它过生日的方式包括：把林肯纪念堂的倒影池刷成国旗蓝（然后看着藻类卷土重来、油漆片片剥落），在肯尼迪中心门口挂上"特朗普"三个字（如今盖在施工围布后面），以及在白宫南草坪架起UFC八角笼（比赛办在总统80岁生日当天）……
本期录制于7月2日、独立日前夕。我们追问三个问题：谁在给美国过生日？谁拥有美国历史的解释权？谁是美国人？
一辆开了250年的老爷车，正站上历史的分水岭。

【What We Talked About】
America turns 250. The Trump administration's idea of a birthday party: painting the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool flag-blue (then watching the algae return and the paint peel away), putting "Trump" on the Kennedy Center's façade (now hidden behind construction wrap), and raising a UFC octagon on the White House South Lawn (with the fight held on the president's 80th birthday)...
Recorded on July 2, on the eve of Independence Day, this episode asks three questions: Who is throwing America's birthday party? Who gets to interpret American history? And who counts as an American?
After 250 years on the road, the old car has arrived at a historical watershed.

4 July 2026, 10:00 am - 1 hour 14 seconds088 | Claude最强模型被禁：AI监管时代的混乱开场 Fable 5 and Mythos 5 Pulled
【聊了什么】
6月12日，美国商务部以国家安全为由，限制 Anthropic/Claude 最新模型 Mythos 5 和 Fable 5 向外国人开放。随后，Anthropic 将这两个刚刚发布、被视为公司最强能力代表的模型全线下架。一个 AI 产品更新，为什么会突然变成国家安全事件？所谓“外国人不能用”，又如何影响到整个 AI 行业？
本期我们从技术层面解释大语言模型的“护栏”：它为什么需要拒绝回答某些问题，为什么护栏太低会带来安全风险，护栏太高又会误伤正常科研和普通用户。Anthropic 一直主张 AI 监管，但当政府真的出手，监管又立刻变成出口管制、国籍边界、法律灰色地带和政治表态问题。
我们也把讨论推到更大的层面：Anthropic 的价值观、AI 公司与军方合作、硅谷加速主义者的反应、开源模型和 AI 安全之间的矛盾，以及特朗普和桑德斯都提到过的 AI 国有化、主权基金和全民分红。AI 不只是技术产品，也正在成为国家安全、文化战争、劳动力市场和人类社会未来秩序的一部分。

【What We Talked About】
On June 12, the U.S. Commerce Department restricted access to Anthropic/Claude’s latest models, Mythos 5 and Fable 5, for foreign nationals on national security grounds. Anthropic then took both newly released models, widely seen as the company’s most capable systems, offline for all users. How did an AI product update suddenly become a national security incident? And how does a rule that “foreigners cannot use it” affect the entire AI industry?
In this episode, we explain the technical side of large language model “guardrails”: why models need to refuse certain requests, why guardrails that are too weak can create safety risks, and why guardrails that are too strict can interfere with legitimate research and ordinary users. Anthropic has long advocated for AI regulation, but once the government actually intervenes, regulation immediately turns into a question of export controls, national boundaries, legal gray areas, and political signaling.
We also broaden the discussion to Anthropic’s values, AI companies’ cooperation with the military, reactions from Silicon Valley accelerationists, the tension between open-source models and AI safety, and proposals raised by both Trump and Sanders around AI nationalization, sovereign wealth funds, and public dividends. AI is no longer just a technology product; it is becoming part of national security, the culture war, the labor market, and the future order of human society.

In this episode, we are joined by Hualun, host of 泛转体育, for a conversation with Xiao Hua and Harry Wang about the upcoming World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. But this is not really a prediction episode about who will win. Instead, we use the World Cup as a lens to look at the United States: what happens when one of the most globalized sporting events runs into American infrastructure, urban planning, sports business, and politics?

纽约文化沙龙致力于拓展线下活动的公共性。我们主张众说纷纭而非整齐划一；我们拥抱多元视角而非标准答案。我们审视和反抗无意识的价值规训与随波逐流；我们冷酷地剖析自己的偏见，热忱地唤醒失落的维度。我们邀请每一颗寻找意义的心灵进入这个空间，真诚地感知、言说、倾听、理解。
这也是中文播客在这几年带给我们的力量之源。我们习惯于在异步时空中，独自聆听那些散落全球的美好中文——他们记录大时代、解构流行文化、观察城市与政治、想象参与世界的新方法……我们赞叹于那些独特的观点，并且渴望回应与共鸣。
于是我们决定：让这些声音在同一个空间回响。我们邀请来自 11 个播客的 12 位主播，从录音室出来，走进同一个房间，带着自己的叙事与视角，用声波碰撞，激荡出一个丰饶的公共声场。我们也邀请你，放下耳机，走进房间，成为塑造这个声场的在场者。

【聊了什么】
本期我们请杨一回到节目，从 CBS《60分钟》一周之内的大清洗和 Scott Pelley 被解雇聊起。一个仍然赚钱、仍有收视率、仍是美国新闻界殿堂级的节目，为什么会突然陷入公开内战？Bari Weiss、Nick Bilton、Paramount/Skydance 并购以及Paramount和WBD合并、特朗普政府与 FCC 审查，又怎样共同构成了这场风波背后的权力结构？
我们也回顾《60分钟》的历史：Don Hewitt 如何把杂志叙事、明星记者和好莱坞式戏剧感带进电视新闻；它是怎样成为美国电视新闻的神话，又怎样影响中国观众对外媒和调查报道的想象。我们也讨论了在流媒体、算法和 AI 时代，这套电视新闻神话还能撑多久。
我们同时还聊了最近发生在美国网络媒体界的大新闻——BuzzFeed被收购和Vox Media旗下New York Magazine、Vox.com和Vox Media Podcast Network被Jame Murdoch部分收购，这部分内容将在《去现场》播出，欢迎关注《去现场》收听更多内容。

【 What We Talked About】
In this episode, Yang Yi returns to the show as we begin with a week of turmoil inside CBS’s 60 Minutes: a sweeping purge of senior staff and the firing of Scott Pelley. How did a program that is still profitable, still watched, and still regarded as one of the great institutions of American journalism end up in open internal war? And how do Bari Weiss, Nick Bilton, the Paramount/Skydance and Paramount/WBD merger, the Trump administration, and FCC scrutiny together shape the power structure behind this crisis?
We also look back at the history of 60 Minutes: how Don Hewitt brought magazine-style storytelling, star correspondents, and a Hollywood sense of drama into television news; how the show became a myth of American TV journalism; and how it shaped Chinese audiences’ imagination of foreign media and investigative reporting. We also ask how much longer this model of television news can survive in the age of streaming, algorithms, and AI.
We also discussed two major recent developments in American digital media: the acquisition of BuzzFeed, and James Murdoch’s partial acquisition of New York Magazine, Vox.com, and the Vox Media Podcast Network under Vox Media. That part of the conversation will be released on 去现场. Follow 去现场 for more.

Same Room 纽约华语播客节
沙龙致力于拓展线下活动的公共性。我们主张众说纷纭而非整齐划一；我们拥抱多元视角而非标准答案。我们审视和反抗无意识的价值规训与随波逐流；我们冷酷地剖析自己的偏见，热忱地唤醒失落的维度。我们邀请每一颗寻找意义的心灵进入这个空间，真诚地感知、言说、倾听、理解。
这也是中文播客在这几年带给我们的力量之源。我们习惯于在异步时空中，独自聆听那些散落全球的美好中文——他们记录大时代、解构流行文化、观察城市与政治、想象参与世界的新方法……我们赞叹于那些独特的观点，并且渴望回应与共鸣。
于是我们决定：让这些声音在同一个空间回响。我们邀请来自 11 个播客的 12 位主播，从录音室出来，走进同一个房间，带着自己的叙事与视角，用声波碰撞，激荡出一个丰饶的公共声场。我们也邀请你，放下耳机，走进房间，成为塑造这个声场的在场者。

【聊了什么】
五月的特朗普，活在两个截然不同的美国里。党外，他的支持率跌到 34% 上下的历史低点，油价冲破每加仑 4 美元、部分州突破 5 美元，民众一边为夏天的出行账单肉痛，一边看着华盛顿忙着把总统头像印上 250 美元纪念钞、给林肯纪念堂旁的雕像镀 24K 金；党内，他却把"复仇之旅"推向高潮——卡西迪、马西、康宁三位现任参议员接连在初选中落马，党内地位达到随心所欲的封神状态。
本期我们从伊朗僵局聊起，一路谈到 17.76 亿的反武器化基金、选区重划的焦土战争，中期选举最新形势，以及万斯的失势与卢比奥的崛起。

【 What We Talked About】
In May, Trump lived in two entirely different Americas. Outside the party, his approval sank to a record low of around 34%, gas prices broke $4 a gallon (over $5 in some states), and while Americans winced at their summer travel bills, Washington was busy putting the president's face on a $250 commemorative bill and gilding a statue near the Lincoln Memorial in 24K gold. Inside the party, however, he pushed his "revenge tour" to its peak — sitting Senators Cassidy, Massie, and Cornyn all fell in their primaries, cementing his grip on the GOP to the point of near-total dominance.
This episode runs from the Iran stalemate to the $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization" fund, the scorched-earth battle over redistricting, the latest midterm outlook, and Vance's decline alongside Rubio's rise.

1 June 2026, 10:21 pm - 44 minutes 35 seconds番外 | 城市传说 Urban Myths | 我在黑人区做规划：美式“政治正确”的傲慢与偏见
【聊了什么】
这期节目是一期番外节目，我们在这里推荐一下我们的一位嘉宾，罗雨翔老师新推出的播客栏目《城市传说》。如果你喜欢，欢迎在各个播客平台关注这档节目。
这是一个第一人称视角下的城市与社会“微观察”系列节目。 本期故事是我在一个美国南部城市的黑人区做项目时的亲身经历。当政府把一位黑人女性“空降”进我们的项目组时，我的第一反应不是欢迎，而是警惕：这是关系户？还是政治正确的体现？但这个看似简单的判断，最终把我带向了一系列更复杂的问题——关于身份、偏见，以及我们口中的“公平”，到底意味着什么？
🎙讲故事的人
罗雨翔 ，美国注册城市规划师，现居纽约。曾就职于纽约市政府，参与并主持北美30余地的地产开发及公共投资项目。毕业于哈佛大学(建筑)及伦敦政治经济学院(区域经济)。著有《创造大都会：纽约空间与制度观察》(上海三联书店｜后浪)，并在《澎湃》《忽左忽右》等媒体发表评论。
👩🏾🦱故事主人公
Viola就是那位被政府“空降”进项目组的成员，也是在这个过程中让我不断重新理解许多问题、并让我反过来质疑我自己的人。
⏳时间轴
Part 1 遭遇最强“关系户” 02:00 来到特朗普的基本盘 07:15 黑人区风情 13:36 一种很有感染力的笑
Part 2 地头蛇 19:12 我差点让团队没饭可吃 23:53 把项目会开到“家”里 26:29 The Taste of the Community
Part 3 困扰我的三个问题 31:20 我是否剥削了她？ 34:09 公众参与是否只是合法性装饰？ 36:09 政治正确是否公平？

12 May 2026, 10:30 pm - 1 hour 25 minutes084 | 《投票权法》之死和选区重划战争升级 How the VRA Died
【聊了什么】
2026年4月29日，最高法院在 Louisiana v. Callais 案中以6-3裁定，事实上掏空了1965年《投票权法》的第二条，这也是首席大法官罗伯茨在长达四十多年司法生涯的"收官之作"。从2013年的 Shelby County 到今天，南方各州终于可以名正言顺地按党派利益重划选区，而几乎不再受到种族歧视效果的实质约束。本期节目我们请回了林三土老师，和我们一起把这场判决的来龙去脉：1965年VRA是怎么诞生的、两党围绕第二条经历过怎样的拉锯、此前的判决如何为今天埋下伏笔，以及它接下来意味着什么。
除了VRA这条主线，我们也聊了白宫记者晚宴外那场抽象的未遂枪击案、DHS停摆终于在沉默中结束、薛定谔式的伊朗战事，以及缅因州州长Janet Mills退选、Graham Plantner锁定民主党提名——这是民主党的"茶党时刻"，还是只是建制派的又一次失败？
本期节目录制于5月3日。
更正与澄清：本期节目中提到特朗普被陪审团认定的是"性侵"而不是"强奸"。但 2023 年 8 月联邦法官 Lewis Kaplan 在驳回特朗普反诉时明确写道：说特朗普强奸了 Carroll，这个陈述"实质上是真实的"（substantially true）。之所以 5 月陪审团没勾"rape"那一栏，是因为90年代事发当时的纽约州刑法对强奸的定义非常窄，必须是阴茎侵入阴道（该法2024年已将强奸定义修改为包含更多侵入式性行为）。而陪审团认定的事实是手指强行侵入——这在纽约刑法以外的通用语境里，就是强奸。

【 What We Talked About】
On April 29, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Louisiana v. Callais, effectively gutting Section 2 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. For Chief Justice John Roberts, this is the capstone of a four-decade judicial career devoted to dismantling the VRA. From Shelby County in 2013 to today, Southern states can now openly redraw districts along partisan lines with little meaningful constraint from claims of racial discrimination. In this episode, we're joined once again by Lin Santu to walk through the full arc of the ruling: how the VRA came into being in 1965, how the two parties fought over Section 2 across the decades, how earlier decisions laid the groundwork for what just happened, and what comes next.
Beyond the VRA, we also get into the strangely amateurish attempted shooting outside the White House Correspondents' Dinner, the quiet end of the DHS shutdown, the Schrödinger's-cat status of the Iran war, and Maine governor Janet Mills dropping out of the Senate primary while Graham Plantner locks up the Democratic nomination — is this the Democrats' Tea Party moment, or just another defeat for the establishment?

6 May 2026, 3:13 am - 1 hour 1 minute083 | AI 成年礼：从"最聪明的模型"到"最烫手的政治问题" AI Goes Political
【聊了什么】
如果说 2022 年底 ChatGPT 的发布让 AI 走进了大众视野，那 2026 年初 Anthropic 被白宫封杀的那一周，可能就是 AI 真正走进政治的那一刻。一家商业公司因为坚持不让自己的产品用于监控和自主武器，被列上了原本只留给外国敌对势力的名单；而它最大的竞争对手，在同一天签下了五角大楼的合同。
这期节目中，我们和《新新人类》的主播一闻、硅谷投资人磊一起聊了AI是如何变成最烫手的政治问题的：红线到底该由谁来画？当 Super PAC 开始用 AI 的钱打中期选举、当数据中心让红州蓝州的电价一起上涨、当美国公众对 AI 的反感度已经跌穿地板——AI 的"核弹时刻"到底是技术奇点，还是政治奇点？我们也顺便聊了聊中美在这件事上正在经历的两种截然不同的现实。

【 What We Talked About】
If the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022 was the moment AI entered the public consciousness, then the week in early 2026 when Anthropic was blacklisted by the White House may well be the moment AI entered politics. A commercial company, for refusing to let its product be used for surveillance and autonomous weapons, was placed on a list previously reserved for foreign adversaries — while its biggest competitor signed a Pentagon contract the very same day.
In this episode, we sit down with Yiwen, host of Pixel Perfect, and Lei, a Silicon Valley investor, to unpack how AI became the most politically charged issue of the moment. Who gets to draw the red lines? When Super PACs start spending AI money to swing the midterms, when data centers push up electricity bills across red and blue states alike, when American public sentiment toward AI has fallen through the floor — is AI's "nuclear moment" a technological singularity, or a political one? We also get into the two starkly different realities the U.S. and China are living through on this front.
Recorded in early April.
