The Amendment

By: Wonder Media Network and The 19th News
  • Summary

  • This election year, our democracy hangs in the balance. We need news coverage that cuts past punditry and gives a voice to the new electorate – the marginalized folks that depend on a functioning democracy. Enter: The Amendment, a new podcast about gender, politics and power from The 19th News and Wonder Media Network, hosted by award-winning journalist and 19th editor-at-large Errin Haines.



    Each week, Errin sits down with people who have fresh perspectives on the state of our country – and asks questions that center the voices of women, queer folks, and people of color. The Amendment adds much needed asterisks to America’s most pressing political conversations – and gets clear on the unfinished work of our democracy.

  • The War on Transgender Rights with Kate Sosin and Orion Rummler
    Oct 17 2024

    Since 2021, at least 177 anti-trans bills have become law across the country. In an effort to understand this trend and its implications, The 19th News published a six part series about trans rights. Today, Errin sits down with The 19th’s LGBTQ+ reporters – Kate Sosin and Orion Rummler – to talk about their reporting for this series and what’s at stake for all of us, not just trans folks, in this upcoming election.

  • Vance vs. Walz with Sarah Longwell
    Oct 3 2024

    Did Vance’s smooth debate performance win folks over? What did Walz leave on the table? Will this move the needle with undecided voters? Errin’s joined by Sarah Longwell, Republican strategist and master of the focus group, to break down the Vice Presidential debate between Governor Tim Walz and Senator JD Vance. Civility and decorum took center stage – but as Sarah explains, that might be a disservice to the American people.
