ON FEB. 19, MANHATTAN'S BEACON THEATER was at capacity for a live taping of The Read, the beloved pop-culture podcast hosted by comedians Kid Fury and Crissle West.
This show was particularly meaningful because they were celebrating the podcast's 10th anniversary. Given their profession, Fury and West are always talking, but when their introduction was met with prolonged, thunderous applause, just for a moment, they were silent. "I definitely had a moment backstage where I started to get emotional," West tells TIME a week later. "It's wild to see how far the show has gone."

The D.C. Brief
WHEN DONALD TRUMP HAS SPOken of late, many Americans have been less interested in his words than his appearance. Is he wearing more makeup than usual? Any new bruises? Is he steady? It is perhaps a reasonable response after so much talk circulating this summer about whether Trump is at death's door or through it.
