The people Ezra Klein won’t interview. Expect turbulence. Veteran activist & strategist David Fenton's podcast challenging the conventional, insider conversations of mainstream media. The Fenton Forecast asks: what future will we choose? AI-driven mass unemployment… or shared abundance? Climate collapse… or a livable planet? Billionaire control… or democracy? Media platforms of falsehood… or honest journalism? A sick health system… or regenerative agriculture and medicine? The Fenton Forecast is the anti-establishment podcast. It features leading dissidents and doers, not the usual pundits.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-14T10:20:23.537122+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-fenton-forecast-choosing-our-future-7815754"},"episode":{"title":"American Midnight: How History Shows We Can Overcome Today's Authoritarianism with Adam Hochschild","slug":"american-midnight-how-history-shows-we-can-overcome-today-s-authoritarianism-with-adam-hochschild","published_at":"2026-07-13T22:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-fenton-forecast-choosing-our-future-7815754/american-midnight-how-history-shows-we-can-overcome-today-s-authoritarianism-with-adam-hochschild","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-fenton-forecast-choosing-our-future-7815754","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/9589f774","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/9589f774/a8133141.mp3","summary":"Historian and journalist Adam Hochschild joins David Fenton to explore how America's darkest periods of repression and corruption mirror today's challenges.
