Power and Principle with Mark Lee Greenblatt
Power and Principle is a podcast about leadership, accountability, and the ideas that shape public trust. Hosted by Mark Lee Greenblatt, former Inspector General of the U.S. Department of the Interior and former Chairman of the Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency, the show features candid conversations with leaders from government, business, media, nonprofits, and beyond. Together, they explore the challenges facing institutions today, from ethics and oversight to national security, technology, climate, journalism, and public policy.
But this isn't another partisan current events show. Power and Principle goes beyond the headlines and political talking points to focus on thoughtful, real-world conversations with people who have been in the arena. Each episode is designed to inform, inspire, and spark new ideas, offering fresh perspectives on leadership, integrity, and how we can make our communities and institutions a little better.

Abrams reflects on his career—from Court TV and the O.J. Simpson trial to his work across television and digital media—and explains why he refuses to choose a political lane simply because it is better for business.
