Encore: Jubilee Is Making Debating Worse - ICYMI

On today’s encore episode, hosts Candice Lim and Kate Lindsay are joined by Slate staff writer <a href="https://slate.com/author/aymann-ismail">Aymann Ismail</a> to discuss the controversial YouTube channel, Jubilee. A <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S-WJN3L5eo&t=1310s">video</a> of political commentator Mehdi Hasan debating 20 far-right republicans has gone viral, but as Ismail argues in <a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2025/07/mehdi-hasan-jubilee-surrounded-fascism.html">his piece for Slate</a>, it also crossed a line. When political disagreement becomes content and extremism is rewarded with clicks, everybody loses. This podcast is produced by Daisy Rosario, Vic Whitley-Berry, Candice Lim, and Kate Lindsay. <hr> Hosted on Acast.
