Nina Burleigh is a journalist, best-selling author, documentary producer, and publisher of a Substack on politics called American Freakshow.  A contributing editor at The New Republic and frequent contributor to the New York Times and New York Magazine, she is the author of eight books on an array of topics including archaeological forgery, scientists in 18th Century Egypt, James Smithson, Amanda Knox in Italy, the Trump women, and the pandemic response. Her latest book, and first novel, is called Zero Visibility Possible.

In this conversation with Greg Olear, Nina discusses the ravages of climate change, her recent travels, access journalism and the Olivia Nuzzi imbroglio, her novel and the inspiration behind it, Melania Trump and the mystery of her activities in the 1990s, the current covid situation, and how Trump’s phalanx of evil attorneys plan to f*ck with the election results, no matter the result.
