Why Is This Happening? The Chris Hayes Podcast

You asked, Chris answered! In our inaugural mailbag episode, we talk about the organizing power of county fairs, why members of Congress contradict each other on Yemen, whether there’s any hope for the Internet, and more. Can you guess which WITHpod revelation Chris thinks is the most shocking yet? Also, the first ever appearance of WITHpod producer Tiffany Champion.EPISODES WE TALKED ABOUT<a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/internet-terrible-now-tim-wu-knows-why-podcast-transcript-ncna877906" target="_blank">Who Broke the Internet? with Tim Wu</a> (released May 29)<a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/detailing-america-s-role-world-s-worst-crisis-shireen-al-ncna906286" target="_blank">America's Role in the World's Worst Crisis with Shireen Al-Adeimi </a>(released September 4)<a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/investigating-president-trump-watergate-prosecutor-nick-akerman-podcast-transcript-ncna910501" target="_blank">Investigating the President with Nick Akerman</a> (released September 18)<a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/welcome-social-infrastructure-week-eric-klinenberg-podcast-transcript-ncna913096" target="_blank">Social Infrastructure Week with Eric Klinenberg</a> (released September 25) RELATED READING<a href="https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780999745465" target="_blank">The Curse of Bigness</a> by Tim Wu<a href="https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781524761165" target="_blank">Palaces for the People</a> by Eric Klinenberg

Every week Chris Hayes asks the big questions that keep him up at night. How do we make sense of this unprecedented moment in world history? Why is this (all) happening?

This podcast starts to answer these questions. Writers, experts, and thinkers who are also trying to get to the bottom of them join Chris to break it all down and help him get a better night’s rest. “Why is this Happening?” is presented by MSNBC and NBCNews Think.
