October 15, 2026 · 12 min

Show notes

 In a moment when politics can feel like an endless culture war, Kal Penn makes the case for focusing on what actually changes people’s lives. Drawing on his time inside the Obama White House and his perspective from outside it, Kal reveals why outrage distracts from real problems, and how we can collectively confront the issues that matter most.
