    The single issue that might decide the upcoming presidential election also happens to be: very confusing.

    A stubborn lunatic’s guide to making great art

    25 years ago, The Sopranos, the best television show ever created, premiered. This week, a new documentary called Wise Guy asks the question: how did a show considered so risky & uncommercial even get made? We’re interviewing Wise Guy director Alex Gibney about that question, and about how stubborn lunatics like him and David Chase got to make the projects they wanted to make.

    Is there a sane way to follow this election?

    We are in an eighty-eight day sprint to the Presidential election. How would you follow this story if you wanted to actually understand something, instead of, like me, just feeling very anxious several times a day? We talk to Ezra Klein about how he follows elections and his own strange role in this election cycle.

    If you'd like to check out some of Ezra's election coverage this year, here are some good places to start.
