概要

The news today is engineered to provoke us, to keep us angry, anxious, and divided. Vet the News is a podcast about slowing down, getting past the rage-bait, and understanding our reactions so we can find our way back to meaningful conversation.

We live in an era of 24-hour breaking news cycles and algorithms designed to trigger our "fight or flight" response. This show offers a much-needed pause to examine the information we consume and, more importantly, how it consumes us. Instead of just dismissing the "other side," we look deeper into the experiences and motivations that make certain arguments resonate so deeply.

On Vet the News, we explore:

▸ The "Why" Behind the Rage: Investigating the underlying fears and values that make reactive arguments feel like common sense to those who hold them.

▸ Deconstructing the Programming: Understanding how our backgrounds, environments, and media diets shape our worldviews and emotional triggers.

▸ Validation Without Agreement: Learning how to validate the human emotion behind a perspective without necessarily agreeing with the conclusion.

▸ Meaningful Reconnection: Practical ways to bridge the gap and talk to the person, not the "talking point."

If you are feeling "news burnout" or are tired of the constant noise, join us as we navigate the headlines with curiosity instead of contempt. It’s time to stop just reacting to the news and start vetting it.

  • DHS Funding: The Long Game of Rebuilding Trust

    DHS Funding: The Long Game of Rebuilding Trust
    2026/02/03

    Episode Summary

    I'll be honest, the escalating situation in Minnesota is weighing heavy on me, it's really feeling like a big moment in history like the Civil Rights protests of history. But today I want to look past the immediate headlines to the political firestorm happening in D.C. with the DHS funding bill and the backlash against the Democratic "defectors" who signed onto it. I explore how representatives like Marie Glusenkamp Perez might vote the way they do, and why the "name and shame" culture might actually be making our problems harder to solve. Join me as I try to find commonality in a time when it feels like we’re being pushed into a "house on fire" moment of constant outrage.

  • Charlie Kirk: A Case Study in Better Conversations

    Charlie Kirk: A Case Study in Better Conversations
    2026/01/26

    Episode Summary

    This episode, I explore an event that served as the catalyst for this show: the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the media firestorm that followed. What I learned in conversations following that event can be used as a case study in how we can break the outrage cycle we're all trapped in. Through a personal story about a conversation I had with my neighbor, a Kirk supporter, I relate how we can move past trying to prove each other wrong to find genuine shared values.

  • Renee Good & Maduro Raid: Why Can't We Agree on What We See?

    Renee Good & Maduro Raid: Why Can't We Agree on What We See?
    2026/01/17

    Episode Summary

    In this episode, we dive into the polarizing media coverage surrounding two major recent events: the ICE shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis and the capture of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela. I explore how our individual media bubbles dictate not just our opinions, but how we perceive objective facts. By examining rhetoric from figures like JD Vance, Kristi Noem, and the Mayor of Minneapolis, we look past the rage bait to understand the underlying psychology of our reactions. This is a case study in finding shared values, like community safety and government accountability, even when we can’t agree on what we see with our own eyes.
