Nobody Asked for This Washington Post Podcast (515 subscribers)

“Are Colleges Undermining Education with Easy A’s?”

“DEBUNKING: The Rich Don’t Pay Their Fair Share”

“The Politics of Conversion Therapy”

Those are real video titles from Make It Make Sense, the Washington Post opinion section’s new flagship podcast, which the paper officially launched on Monday, a day after the media newsletter Status reported that the section had spent $80,000 (!) building out a new podcast studio. The show is hosted in rotation by opinion editor Adam O’Neal, deputy opinion editor James Hohmann, and columnists such as Carine Hajjar, Kate Andrews, Dominic Pino, and Jason Willick. Most of them are recent hires, part of the section’s hard pivot right under Bezos.
