This is Peter Kafka, the host of Channels, the show about what happens when media and tech collide. And this week I'm talking to Katie Drummond, who runs Wired. She's found a way to breathe new life into that publication by covering news.
That's this week on Channels, wherever you listen to your favorite podcast.
Hey there, this is Peter Kafka. I'm the host of Channels, the show about what happens when tech and media collide. And this week, we're talking to Adam Mosseri, who runs Instagram and who also runs Threads. And he told me what Threads was originally going to be called. I called it Textagram as a joke, which unfortunately stuck as a name for months before I managed to kill it.
Textagram, great name. You're making me regret telling you this. That's this week on Channels, wherever you listen to your favorite podcast.

Hey, this is Peter Kafka. I'm the host of Channels, a show about media and tech and lots of other stuff. And this week I learned about how to make money in media and specifically how to do that in Washington, D.C. in 2025. My guest, Jake Sherman, the co-founder of Punchbowl News. That's the fast-growing, super-inside, the Beltway pub that covers Congress and Congress and nothing else.
And it's working. That's on Channels, wherever you hear your favorite pods.
Well, I thought that people were jumping a little bit out of line. They were getting yippy, you know? They were getting a little bit yippy, a little bit afraid.
And my tried and true hiccup here is... Pour a glass of water, light a match, put the match out in the water, drink the water, throw away the match.
Think of a green rabbit.
President Trump on Truth Social has been suggesting that he's open to deals to end the trade war that he started by levying tariffs on U.S. trading partners. The administration says these Liberation Day tariffs will bring manufacturing jobs back to America. Why is that so important? There are some really dumb ways to answer that question.
When you sit behind a screen all day, it makes you a woman. Studies have shown this. Studies have shown this. And some much smarter ones.
Coming up on Today Explained, the best minds. The White House advisor who's gone ham on tariffs defends his position. Weekday afternoons. Today Explained helps you make sense of the mess.
Yeah, well, actually, I was nursing a hangover in a small Colorado airport when I was just looking through Twitter and saw a report from Bloomberg that they were considering filing for bankruptcy. And it was at that point that, while I was hurtin', Waiting for my plane, I shared a story about a lunch that I had with my grandfather more than a decade ago at a Florida Hooters.
It was an annual tradition. I would fly down to Florida before the rest of my family, just a few days before Thanksgiving, so I would get to hang out with my grandfather a bit. He would pick me up at the airport. And we would then go out to lunch and chat about politics, chat about my soccer season, chat about changes to the Fox News primetime lineup. And this particular trip, I was 14 or 15.
This was when I was just beginning to question my sexuality. I was just beginning to realize that I was gay. I don't think I had quite admitted it to myself yet, but it was certainly top of mind. And then to walk into a Hooters, it was an experience. The Hooters waitress is not your average waitress. They are, objectively speaking, beautiful women. and they tend to be rather scantily clad.
