The Weekly Stewart This Week
Updated: Jul 25
On this “The Weekly Show” podcast with Jon Stewart, the show writes, “As the war with Iran disrupts global energy markets and accelerates a reckoning with fossil fuel dependence, Jon is joined by David Wallace-Wells, New York Times Opinion writer and author of the bestseller The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming. Together, they explore the war's global and domestic fallout, discuss how this moment is forcing countries to reconsider their dependence on oil and American power, and consider whether we can build systems resilient enough to withstand compounding disruptions. Plus, Jon answers listener questions about some of his favorite podcast topics, Trump on Jeopardy!, and whether his kids actually like him.”
As I’ve noted, the show provides a "breakdown" of when specific topics are covered during the conversation, so you can jump to the sections that most interest you. If you watch the video on YouTube, those time codes are hyperlinked to the video and will jump you automatically to the right spot.
