EP 87: Deep Dive Into Freediving: Lessons From Holding Your Breath For Several Minutes Under Water

We plunge into the fascinating world of freediving with world-renowned diver Will Trubridge and explore the extreme sport that takes athletes to unimaginable depths with a single breath. Will shares his incredible journey, shedding light on the mental and physical challenges of holding his breath for more than 4 minutes underwater (He says he can hold it for more than 8 minutes if he stays stationary.) He discussed the techniques he uses to "turn off his brain" and achieve a state of focus during his dives. We also delve into his experience being featured in the recent Netflix documentary "The Deepest Breath," which highlights the intense and often perilous world of competitive freediving. Will also reveals some of his methods and training secrets, offering insights into how even Mosheh could potentially hold his breath for several minutes underwater.

EP 86: Unbiased Science! Cutting through misinformation when it comes to health and medical headlines

Getting to the facts–and cutting out bias–is something we are big fans of at Mo News. In our latest episode, Mosheh is joined by Dr. Jess Steier from the Unbiased Science Podcast to unpack the complexities of interpreting scientific and health studies. Together, we explore the common pitfalls of media reporting on health, including what we know about the latest studies on organic produce, aspartame, and GMOs, among other hot topics. This conversation helps listeners better understand the nuances behind the headlines in scientific reporting, and how you can better read between the lines. We also talk about eastern vs. western medicine as well as growing public distrust in institutions like the FDA and CDC, and how some of the agencies’ mistakes during COVID led to the current situation. — Mosheh Oinounou (@mosheh) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.

EP 85: Redefining “Stay At Home Moms” - Talking Career, Family, Relationships with Mother Untitled’s Neha Ruch

As we celebrate Mother’s Day, this episode dives into the state of moms in America with an interview with Neha Ruch, founder of Mother Untitled (MU). She is also the author of forthcoming book, "The Power Pause,” looking at redefining stay at home motherhood. Neha talks to Mosheh about how the perception of stay at home moms has transformed from a traditional archetype to a dynamic role that blends family life with personal and professional fulfillment. We delve into new data MU has collected from thousands of moms across the country, with a focus on how they balance professional, family and mental health goals. The conversation focuses on how women are taking intentional breaks in their careers to focus on family without losing sight of their own ambitions. It is no longer a black or white (full-time work or full-time SAHM) phenomenon, but there are many shades of gray when it comes to modern work and family.

Record-breaking heat, storms, rising sea levels, and melting glaciers are among the impacts of climate change. But today’s conversation focuses on the actions that can serve as an antidote to anxiety. In his new book, Life As We Know It (Can Be), CNN Chief Climate Correspondent Bill Weir says we can counter fear with knowledge and hope. His book explores stories from the front lines of environmental change, providing both sobering insights and hopeful perspectives on innovative solutions, including where progress is being made.

Americans have never had access to so many drugs, and yet we continue to see rising issues when it comes to mental and physical health in this country. We dive into what’s going wrong in this conversation with Dr. Drew Pinsky. Dr. Drew, who is a board-certified physician in internal and addiction medicine, became a household name while hosting the iconic radio show “Loveline.” He now has multiple platforms, shows and podcasts. Mosheh and Dr. Drew talk about the state of mental health, the state of the American medical system and why so many people are falling through the cracks.

EP 81: The Challenges of Being First Lady: A Deep-Dive Into White House Life

So much news coverage is devoted to the president, but it turns out that first ladies have had an incredibly influential and undercovered role in many White Houses. At the same time, it is an often thankless job that receives a lot of scrutiny. Mosheh sits down with New York Times White House correspondent and author, Katie Rogers, exploring her new book, ‘American Woman: The Transformation of the Modern First Lady.’ In our conversation, we dive straight into Jill Biden's role in the White House, especially when it comes to managing crises, from international wars to the struggles of Hunter Biden–including what it means that she is the family “grudge holder.” This edition also delves into how several other recent first ladies—Melania Trump, Michelle Obama, Laura Bush, and Hillary Clinton–how each viewed their roles over the last 30 years, and some surprising revelations about their time in the White House.

This episode is a deep-dive into the most streamed documentary in America: ‘Quiet on Set.’ The series focuses on Nickelodeon, and startling claims of a toxic work environment for child stars and abuse at the network. Mosheh is joined by Kate Taylor, senior correspondent at Business Insider, to explore the unsettling realities unveiled in the documentary. Her reporting and investigation in 2022 first revealed a number of issues, and inspired the making of ‘Quiet on Set.’ Taylor takes us behind the scenes into how she was first tipped off to the story, what she learned in her reporting, the making of the documentary and who would speak with her and who would not.

EP 77: Tyranny of the Minority: Cracks in American Democracy and How It Can Be Fixed

American democracy has a number of challenges as it approaches its 250th birthday in 2026. The US has one of hardest constitutions in the world to amend, and is the only country to use an electoral college vs popular vote to elect presidents as well as the only democratic nation to allow for lifetime appointments of federal judges. Add in the filibuster and a less and less representative US Senate, there are a number of antiquated systems that give power to the minority over the majority in America. In today’s episode we speak with author and government professor Steven Levitsky about his new book, Tyranny of the Minority. We dive into why we have the system we have, and potential solutions as we see cracks in American democracy in the aftermath of 2020 and the January 6 attack on the Capitol. **Mo News Premium For Members-Only Instagram, Private Podcast: (Click To Join)** — Mosheh Oinounou (@mosheh) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.

EP 76: UFO Coverup: Inside the US Government’s Search of Alien Life

America has long been obsessed with the idea of alien life and UFOS, especially as the US government has been less than open about what it has known for years. A new book tells the incredible history going back a century, and why the US government coverup has been less about what it does know, and more about what it doesn’t. Mosheh speaks with Garrett Graff, the author of “UFO: The Inside Story of the US Government's Search of Alien Life,” about the likelihood that we have encountered aliens, what is behind the decades of coverups, which presidents were most obsessed with UFOS (amazing history here) and the recent move to take unexplained objects much more seriously. — Mosheh Oinounou (@mosheh) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.

As Israel’s war in Gaza enters a sixth month, we check on the state of the conflict and when it might end with Axios Foreign Policy Reporter Barak Ravid. He is incredibly well-sourced in Washington and Jerusalem, and he gives us an insider’s perspective on the growing divide between President Joe Biden and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and the state of the war. We discuss the likelihood of a Rafah invasion, what Palestinian leadership may look like after the war, the lasting impact of the October 7th massacre on Israeli society, and the potential for the armed conflict escalating with Hezbollah in the north.

Haiti was once a pearl of the Caribbean, and a stable, go-to tourism hot spot, (the Clintons took their honeymoon there!) but things have taken a turn for the worst over the last few decades. Award-winning CBS News correspondent and host Vladimir Duthiers has reported from Haiti extensively and has a deep understanding for the country and people. He joins Mosheh to discuss the recent developments and how three centuries of colonialism, US occupation and foreign involvement have impacted the island.

From the Salem Witch Trials to Qanon, it turns out that conspiracy theories are “as American as apple pie.” We dive into why we believe them, and how they have impacted American history and democracy in a conversation with author and cultural historian Colin Dickey. His latest book, “Under the Eye of Power: How Fear of Secret Societies Shape American Democracy,” provides some fascinating historical perspective into how fears of immigrants, other religions, and secret societies have impacted the country’s history over the last few centuries.

And, it turns out that solving poverty is easier than we think it is. Mosheh talks to sociologist and author Matthew Desmond about his book, Poverty, By America. His analysis looking into why the richest country in the world has such widespread poverty finds in essence that, “I’m the problem, it’s me.” In today’s podcast, we dive into potential solutions for poverty, why consumers choices matter, and why Desmond is hopeful that COVID actually gave us a blueprint to solving the crisis. **Mo News Premium For Members-Only Instagram, Private Podcast: (Click To Join)** — Mosheh Oinounou (@mosheh) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.

It is a story we have not learned much about….until now. Facing sexism and huge institutional hurdles, the story of the women who helped build the CIA and put their lives on the line in conflicts going back to WWII is an incredible, compelling history. Writer Liza Mundy tells us their story in her new book, “The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA.” It’s a follow up to her previous book “Code Girls,” about the female code breakers of World War II. Mosheh talks to Liza about the role women played in forming the CIA, what foreign governments they helped infiltrate, what info they helped the US government learn (and what was ignored!!) during the Cold War all the way through the war on terrorism. We also discuss how accurate the portrayal of female agents like those in ‘Homeland’ and ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ are to reality. — Mosheh Oinounou (@mosheh) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.

S1 Ep 65EP 65: More Secrets Than The CIA: Investigating McKinsey’s Influence on the World

It is the most prestigious consulting company in the world, and yet most of us know very little about McKinsey. The multi-billion dollar firm helps governments around the world and the Fortune 500 make key decisions when it comes to their businesses and their images. McKinsey clients have included big tobacco, opioid makers, the Chinese government as well as US government agencies & the companies they regulate (at the same time). However, all of that work is shielded by NDAs. How does all that work? Is it legal or ethical? And, how has McKinsey impacted the lives of millions of Americans and people around the world through their consulting relationship? Those are some of the questions we asked investigative reporter Walt Bogdanich in this episode. His book, When McKinsey Comes To Town, follows a multi-year investigation. — Mosheh Oinounou (@mosheh) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.

He was born and raised in Gaza, then lived in the West Bank, and is now in the US, where he recently got his master's degree from American University. His family is currently seeking refuge in a church in northern Gaza.

At the same time, he talks about what he learned when he met Israelis for the first time, the empathy he gained, but also how he believes Israeli government policies have strengthened Hamas and worsened the conflict.

We dive deep into the world of submersible exploration in this episode, and discuss what we can learn from traveling to the deepest parts of our oceans. We know more about outer space than our own oceans here on earth. The co-founder of Triton Submarines, Patrick Lahey, is hoping to help change that, and he explains why deep sea travel is so important in this conversation. We all watched in horror this summer as one submersible ignored safety warnings and imploded near the Titanic in June. We discuss what was uniquely risky about that trip and contraption, and the lessons for the industry and governments from that disaster.

S1 Ep 45EP 45: The Pulse of America: Can We Still Trust Polls? with Gallup’s Editor-in-Chief

One of the most popular questions we get at Mo News is about polling, how it works and why it can be trusted.
