We can see what needs fixing, yet more and more, it feels like the problems are too big and the bad guys are winning. But the truth is, they’re not. They’re just hoping we stop fighting. Welcome to Assembly Required with Stacey Abrams, a new podcast from Crooked Media and Democratic changemaker Stacey Abrams. Stacey knows better than anyone that societal shifts happen when a group of ordinary people decide that a problem is solvable, and are willing to pitch in and work towards the solution. Each week, Stacey will break down the biggest issues we face into digestible, actionable items, introduce us to the warriors for good already working towards solutions, strategize, and share tangible ways to get involved. Because we can't fix everything, everywhere, all at once; but we can each do something, somewhere, soon. You can watch on Youtube or listen to new episodes every Tuesday.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-21T22:17:29.300733+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/assembly-required-with-stacey-abrams-6977119"},"episode":{"title":"Obama's Library, Trump's UFC 250, and Two Very Different Americas","slug":"obama-s-library-trump-s-ufc-250-and-two-very-different-americas","published_at":"2026-06-23T09:55:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/assembly-required-with-stacey-abrams-6977119/obama-s-library-trump-s-ufc-250-and-two-very-different-americas","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/assembly-required-with-stacey-abrams-6977119","url":"https://audioboom.com/posts/8919732","audio_url":"https://clrtpod.com/m/pscrb.fm/rss/p/prfx.byspotify.com/e/arttrk.com/p/CRMDA/mgln.ai/e/284/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/audioboom.com/posts/8919732.mp3?modified=1782190352&sid=5166618&source=rss","summary":"This week, guest host Melissa Murray, host of Crooked Media’s Strict Scrutiny podcast is joined by Erin Ryan, co-host of Crooked Media’s Hysteria . They juxtapose the Obama Presidential Center opening with Trump’s UFC event celebrating his 80th birthday, and talk about the two very different visions of our country that those events (and their attendants) represent. They also touch on Trump’s dismal approval ratings, the biggest takeaways from primary battles in states like New York and Georgia, the positive vibes at the World Cup, and why the right just can’t move on from attacking pride month.
