The Project Censored Show

Mickey Huff and Eleanor Goldfield cohost this weekly show from Project Censored, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has spent over forty years documenting the stories that mainstream media ignores or underreports. The show's tagline is 'The News That Didn't Make the News,' and each episode runs about an hour, featuring guest interviews and commentary on political, social, and economic issues that the hosts believe deserve more attention than they received. With 648 episodes and a 4.8-star rating from 108 reviewers, the show has an enormous archive and a dedicated audience. Huff is a history and journalism professor who brings academic context to current events, while Goldfield is a journalist and activist who pushes conversations toward systemic analysis. They regularly feature independent journalists, researchers, and whistleblowers who are doing work outside the mainstream pipeline. Recent episodes have examined government surveillance expansion, corporate influence on local news coverage, environmental reporting gaps, and the economics of media consolidation. The show does not pretend to be politically neutral. It operates from an explicitly independent, left-of-center perspective, which listeners should know going in. That said, the reporting it highlights is grounded in verifiable facts and documented evidence. If your media diet is mostly mainstream outlets and you want a weekly reminder of what is being left out of the conversation, Project Censored fills that role more consistently than almost anything else available.
