“Mad Magazine,” “The Americans,” & Dom La Nena

Studio 360

This week, a former CIA man brings his Cold War experiences to light on the TV spy show “The Americans.” We take a serious look at “Mad Magazine,” the goofy, bawdy, sarcastic kids’ magazine that made America snarky. And Brazilian cellist Dom La Nena performs live.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
