Jon Stewart discusses our Classified System
The media is chasing the classified documents fiasco like it's spy vs. spy, Trump vs. Biden. But on this week's episode, we're breaking down the absurdity of a national security system that makes it so darn easy to hoard classified documents. We're joined by Matthew Connelly, professor of history at Columbia and author of "The Declassification Engine: What History Reveals about America's Top Secrets," who gives us the inside scoop on how unwieldy our system for keeping state secrets has become, who it's really designed to protect, and how we might revamp it so that it actually, you know, can keep a secret.

Some truly amazingly funny segments here. And an amazing celebration of one of the most impactful comedians of my lifetime.
Edit: Also, I feel the need to call out, The Daily Show (the Book): An Oral History as Told by Jon Stewart, the Correspondents, Staff and Guests is also fantastic. I really enjoyed the behind-the-scenes insights and hearing stories about the making of the show.

The Problem with Jon Stewart
I forgot how much I needed Jon Stewart. For people of my generation, I can't overstate the importance of the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. It was a huge blow for my political education when he moved on from the show. I'm thrilled he's back producing content and talking about the dystopia around me.
