News & Politics Podcasts

The Colin McEnroe Show is public radio’s most eclectic, eccentric weekday program. The best way to understand us is through the subjects we tackle: Neanderthals, tambourines, handshakes, the Iliad, snacks, ringtones, punk rock, Occam’s razor, Rasputin, houseflies, zippers. Are you sensing a pattern? If so, you should probably be in treatment. On Fridays, we try to stop thinking about what kind of ringtones Neanderthals would want to have and convene a panel called The Nose for an informal roundtable about the week in culture.

From ‘Star Trek’ to ‘Arrival’: How pop culture helps us imagine extraterrestrial life

12/1/2023
We come to the end of our week of special coverage with a show about how we imagine extraterrestrial life. What do you picture when you picture extraterrestrial life? Is it like E.T.? Or little green men? Or an alien from Star Trek? This hour is all about how we imagine extraterrestrial life and how those visions are shaped by pop culture. GUESTS: Jaime Green:The Possibility of Life: Science, Imagination, and Our Quest for Kinship in the CosmosDoug Jones:HellboyThe Shape of WaterPan’s LabyrinthStar Trek: Discovery Colin McEnroe and Cat Pastor contributed to this show.

An hour with astronauts!

11/30/2023
If you follow the show, then you probably know that we’ve had a bogus ban on astronauts for quite some time now. In case you don’t follow the show, let me just explain at the top here that it’s been 2,220 days — more than six years — since an astronaut last appeared on The Colin McEnroe Show. But. The ban is over! We are astronautless no more! And so, this hour — and to celebrate Astronaughty Week — we bring you no fewer than THREE astronauts. We listen back to our (in)famous interviews with legends Buzz Aldrin and Scott Kelly. And then: a brand new interview with a real, live astronaut, former International Space Station Commander Chris Hadfield. The bogus ban is over! Don’t let Colin tell you any different! If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, call or text the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 or visit 988lifeline.org.

From flying saucers to flying saints: Belief and how we react to the “impossible”

11/29/2023
Today, we continue our week of special coverage with a show focused on belief, and how we react when we experience things that we think should be impossible. A few years ago, Diana Walsh Pasulka published American Cosmic: UFOs, Religion, Technology, which looked at the mechanism of belief in extraterrestrial life, finding that this is becoming a new American religion. Now, she has a new book out, Encounters: Experiences with Nonhuman Intelligences, which looks at our experiences with non-human life forms, including UFOs, dreams, angels, and AI, and how these encounters challenge our assumptions about life. This hour, we talk with Diana Walsh Pasulka about her work. Plus, Yale Professor Carlos Eire joins us to talk about the history of the impossible, including discussions of levitation and bilocation, and how beliefs form.

The United States has a long history of UFO sightings and reports, dating all the way back to the 1940s.

‘Though the heavens fall’: The JFK assassination in our media and culture

11/22/2023
President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed on November 22, 1963. It would be hard to argue that the modern American era, the era that we’re still living in 60 years later, didn’t begin on that Friday afternoon in Dallas. It would be hard to overstate the effect and influence of that event, that act on the American psyche. This hour, a look at the shadow that the JFK assassination still casts over our news and politics, our movies and music, our media and culture.

The Nose looks at ‘The Killer’ and ‘Albert Brooks: Defending My Life’

11/17/2023
This week’s Nose has had to work through the occasional civilian who’s stood between eyes and the prize. The Killer is the 12th movie directed by David Fincher and his first credited feature film collaboration with screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker since 1995’s Se7en. It’s Fincher’s second movie for Netflix, who describe it this way: “After a fateful near-miss an assassin battles his employers, and himself, on an international manhunt he insists isn’t personal.” The Killer stars Michael Fassbender as the titular assassin. And: Albert Brooks: Defending My Life is an HBO documentary directed by Rob Reiner. It chronicles Brooks’s career in comedy, and it’s the first documentary Reiner has ever made (other than This Is Spinal Tap, of course).

A COVID update: New vaccines, new variants, and new data on Paxlovid rebound

11/16/2023
COVID, by the way, is … still a thing. The new vaccines are here, and people mostly aren’t getting them. The new variants are here, and the people who’re getting COVID are mostly getting them. Just this week, some new data seems to show that getting your COVID and flu shots together isn’t just safe — it might actually be the better thing to do. And it turns out that Paxlovid rebound probably is real and more prevalent than we knew. Oh. And: Picking your nose maybe makes you more susceptible to a COVID infection.

The Nose on the ‘last’ Beatles song and the new Scorsese picture, ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’

11/3/2023
“Now and Then” is the first Beatles single of any kind in more than 27 years, and it may well be their last. It was released Thursday. “Now and Then” was originally written and recorded by John Lennon circa 1977. Using machine learning technology developed for the Get Back documentary, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr were able to isolate Lennon’s vocals, record new instrumentation and vocals, and combine all of that with vocals and guitar parts recorded by George Harrison in 1995. “Now and Then” is the lead single off new editions of the so-called Red and Blue Albums, which come out November 10. And: Killers of the Flower Moon is the 26th scripted feature film directed by Martin Scorsese. It is written by Eric Roth and Scorsese and based on the book by David Grann. It is Scorsese’s 10th feature film collaboration with Robert De Niro and his sixth with Leonardo DiCaprio. Killers of the Flower Moon is also the second-longest Scorsese movie at 206 minutes. He has now made two 200-minute pictures in a row.
