Hey there, this is Peter Kafka, the host of Channels, a show about tech and media and what happens when they collide. And this week I'm talking to PJ Vogt, who used to have a big podcast with a big audience and lots of resources. And then he didn't. So he had to figure out how to start again.
I have a lot more appreciation for people who run businesses. I have spent years being the artist baby side of it. And you're just like, oh, it is its own art. It's its own creativity. It's really art.
That's this week on Channels from the Vox Media Podcast Network.
Gen X women are doing it, and doing it quite well. Having a bit of this sexual rediscovery later and finding that everything still works, sometimes much to their surprise, that desire is still there, that, you know, sexual function is still there.
Is there a middle-age sexual renaissance afoot? And should 50-somethings be crediting 20-somethings for it? That's this week on Explain It To Me. New episodes every Sunday morning, wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome to Raging Moderates. I'm Jessica Tarlow, and I have a great guest today, attorney Mark Elias. If you care about voting rights, you probably know his name. With his firm Elias Law Group and his platform, Democracy Docket, which I visit constantly, Mark has been at the forefront of legal battles in campaign finance, voting rights, and redistricting law.
Just recently, his firm helped strike down an Arizona law that would have forced voters to show documentary proof of citizenship in presidential elections. And let's not forget, Mark has also been making headlines for his open letter to Elon Musk, firing back after Musk took a swing at him on X. We'll get into all of that, but first, Mark, welcome to the show. It's great to have you here.
Thanks for having me. I'm a big fan.
I'm a big fan, too. Yay. I wanted to start... With a general question, we're, I don't know what the actual count is, 44 days or something into Trump 2.0.
