A Shutdown Where None of the Normal Rules Apply
October 17, 2025

Under normal circumstances, the profound pain of a government shutdown compels both parties to negotiate a quick resolution on behalf of the American people. But, so far, nothing about this shutdown is normal.
Times journalists Michael Barbaro, Tyler Pager, Catie Edmondson and Tony Romm sit down to discuss why this shutdown feels so different.
Guest:
- Tyler Pager, a White House correspondent for The New York Times, covering President Trump and his administration.
- Catie Edmondson, a congressional correspondent for The New York Times.
- Tony Romm, a reporter covering economic policy and the Trump administration for The New York Times, based in Washington.
Background reading:
- President Trump’s unilateral spending cuts could complicate a shutdown deal.
- The Trump administration said it would pay some ICE and T.S.A. agents during the shutdown.

Sunday Special: Springsteen, Dylan and the Art of the Biopic
October 19, 2025
•60m
On Friday, “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere” will be released in theaters. Rather than chronicling Bruce’s entire life, the film focuses on the making of his stripped-down 1982 album “Nebraska” and on his concurrent mental health struggles.
This movie is the latest in a long history of musician biopics featuring stars like Bob Dylan, Loretta Lynn, Eminem and Elvis Presley. Hollywood clearly loves telling the stories of influential artists.
In this episode, Gilbert Cruz chats with Lindsay Zoladz, a pop music critic for The Times, and Joe Coscarelli, a Times culture reporter, about the tropes of the genre and their favorite films that break the mold.
On Today’s Episode:
Lindsay Zoladz, a pop music critic at The Times and the writer of The Amplifier newsletter.
Joe Coscarelli, a culture reporter at The Times and co-host of “Popcast.”
