COURIER here 👋 If you’re receiving this, it means you’re one of the most engaged members of our audience – so first and foremost, thank you! We wanted you to get the first look at our new show, How Is This Better? with Akilah Hughes. We hope you enjoy!

In this episode of How Is This Better? I step into the ring with "The Progressive Liberal"—yes, that’s his real wrestling persona—alongside author Josie Riesman and journalist and former WWE writer, Dave Schilling, to explore why politics today feels more like WWE than C-SPAN.
We dive into the personas, the crowd work, the heels and the faces (iykyk)—and how both wrestling and politics rely on performance, polarization, and pandering to win over the crowd. If you’ve ever wondered why politics feels more like a reality show than real life… this is the episode for you.
GUESTS:
Dave Schilling, Columnist for LA Times and The Guardian, and former writer for WWE
Josie Riesman, author of RingMaster: Vince McMahon and the Unmaking of America -
Daniel Harnsberger aka “The Progressive Liberal”
