The Bulletin

Fever Dream

RFK announces his running mate, pro-lifers talk pro-choice, and Beyoncé goes country.

This week on The Bulletin, our hosts explore why third-party candidates appeal to voters, how the pro-life movement became so hypocritical, and what amazes us about Beyoncé’s new chart-topping album. Hosts Mike Cosper and editor in chief Russell Moore talk with CT’s political correspondent Harvest Prude, New York Times columnist David French, CT’s chief impact officer Nicole Martin, and Nashville songwriter and producer Charlie Peacock as they dive deep beneath the headlines to the stories that are shaping our world.
