How Do You Want Us to Handle the Trump News Dilemma?

Like so many of us, I’m navigating the overwhelming flood of Trump-related headlines right now. On Outrage Overload, I’m committed to keeping the show balanced and not letting Trump stories dominate the narrative.

That said, there are plenty of legitimate and important topics related to Trump that are worth exploring, which creates a real dilemma: How many of these topics do we tackle, if any?

I’d love to hear your thoughts. How would you like to see us handle this on the show? Are there specific angles you think are undercovered, or strategies you’d suggest for maintaining a balanced approach?

Your input means a lot and could help shape how we move forward. Feel free to reply directly to this newsletter or reach out on social media—I’d love to hear your suggestions!

From the Archives: Are You Getting High on Your Own Supply?

In today’s hyper-polarized media landscape, it’s easy to fall into the trap of consuming only the information that reinforces what we already believe. But what if the very sources we trust most are subtly distorting our understanding?

In Episode 27 of Outrage Overload, Dr. Dannagal G. Young, author of Wrong: How Media, Politics, and Identity Drive Our Appetite for Misinformation, takes us on a fascinating journey into how late-night comedy and far-right talk shows shape our perceptions—sometimes in ways we don’t even realize. She explains how political entertainment, designed to inform and engage, can also lead us to overconfidence in our own beliefs and a deeper divide between political tribes.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your favorite media sources are giving you the full picture—or just feeding your confirmation bias—this episode is a must-listen.

New This Week in Outrage Episode!

It’s everything the Outrage Overload podcast is not. It’s not edited. It’s not scripted. It’s lightly researched. It’s David and Lisa talking about this week in outrage, what was in the news, in the memes, and maybe finding some backstory with a humorous (at least to us) twist.
