Will Be Wild

About Will Be Wild

Will Be Wild is a new 8-part series about the forces that led to the January 6th insurrection and what comes next. Through in-depth stories from a wide range of characters – from people who tried to stop the attack to those who took part – hosts Andrea Bernstein and Ilya Marritz explore the ongoing effort to bring autocracy to America, the lasting damage that effort is doing to our democracy, and the fate of our attempts to combat those anti-democratic forces. Because January 6th wasn't the end of the story, January 6th was just a practice run. Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Will Be Wild ad-free right now.

    Introducing: We Can Do Hard Things

    Life is freaking hard. We are all doing hard things every single day – things like loving and losing; caring for children and parents; forging and ending friendships; battling addiction, illness, and loneliness; struggling in our jobs, our marriages, and our divorces; setting boundaries; and fighting for equality, purpose, freedom, joy, and peace. On We Can Do Hard Things, Glennon Doyle, author of UNTAMED; her wife Abby Wambach; and her sister Amanda Doyle do the only thing they’ve found that has ever made life easier: Drop the fake and talk honestly about the hard things including sex, gender, parenting, blended families, bodies, anxiety, addiction, justice, boundaries, fun, quitting, overwhelm . . . all of it. We laugh and cry and help each other carry the hard so we can all live a little bit lighter and braver, free-er, less alone.

    Many of the men and women who heeded Trump’s call to march on the Capitol on January 6th had one surprising thing in common: nearly 1 in 7 of those charged for crimes related to the insurrection had a background in the military or law-enforcement. Why did the government look away as forces of radicalization spread amongst the military and in the public at large?

Inside a recent episode

Listen Now— Over My Dead Body: Operation Sideswipe

Published 26 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Traffic was light. Jamie was on his way back after hauling 80,000 pounds of materials used to make plastics to the port of New Orleans. He made his way up the on-ramp to Business 90 leading to the I-10 freeway, the same route he took about three times a day on his shift. It's a steep ramp, so he pressed down on the gas, trying to get as much speed as he could. That's probably only going about 40 miles an hour, 30 miles an hour. It's pretty slow going up that hill. When Jamie reached the top of the ramp, the city skyline and gleaming gold Superdome came into view. But Jamie didn't have his eyes on any of that. […]
