The claim matches the post's own listing of October 22, 2026 at 9pm, and the Amazon Music episode page dated 'Yesterday' relative to an October 23 posting corroborates the October 22 date, while the show's schedule lists a 9PM ET slot Tuesday through Friday.

This claim is in the show notes, the publisher's own words. It counts against the post, once.

What we found

Supports. The Amazon Music listing for 'Trump Corruption, Women's Power, and the Fight for the Midterms' (The Briefing with Jen Psaki, 41 mins) gives the episode time as 'October 22, 2026; 9pm' and is marked 'Yesterday' relative to its October 23 publication date.[1]

Contradicts. The Reason.fm podcast aggregator lists the same episode under 'Oct 24' rather than October 22, a conflicting date from a low-credibility aggregator that does not outweigh the platform listing.[2]

Context. The Briefing with Jen Psaki airs Tuesdays through Fridays at 9PM ET, consistent with a 9pm slot on Thursday, October 22, 2026.[3]

Context. The other Psaki-related result is a separate October 22 episode (10/22/26, 38:13) and does not refer to the 41-minute episode in question.[3]
