The conversations are rich and revealing, unrehearsed and unexpected … and reliably impolitic. A Puck-Audacy joint, new episodes drop every Wednesday and Friday.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-13T08:19:32.336590+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/impolitic-with-john-heilemann-1329107"},"episode":{"title":"Josh Tyrangiel: AI, What is it Good For?
